I'll try this the next time I go out.

I know, I used to fish them with braid with a leader but I didn't like how when I tried to adjust my spool tension for a bait the leader knot would get caught in the guides.

MH EF Powell. Like I said these hooks aren't heavy wire flipping hooks at all. It's a 1/4 oz All Terrain Skip N Jig.

I've been missing fish lately on my jigs. I fish from the bank and normally fish jigs like a Texas rigged worm on 20-30 yard cast. After I feel a fish, I reel down and then set the hook vertically, but I have been missing them this way. I'm using a 6'8" MH rod with 14 lb Sniper. The jigs I'm using don't have stout or light wire hooks on them. I read somewhere that setting the hook like a Carolina rig (sweep hookset) with this would help on a long cast. Is this true? Is more force generated when the line is laying more horizontally than vertically?

Well what's your budget?

Can I be your 2nd wife?

April showers bring May flowers... and they also make the water dirtier. I'm in southern Indiana and the water has been fairly stained lately. I had caught 14 in two hours on Sunday with a red craw colored squarebill.

26-28 ipt which translates to a 6.x:1 ratio for those techniques. Edit: Assuming you mean for a baitcaster?

Lucky Craft Pointers. They will last you quite a while if you don't lose them.

Can you put megastrike on elaztech plastics?

Having rods you like makes fishing a lot more enjoyable!!

I think it's just the sound of the braid. That's just the nature of the line.

Pack lightly. Bring what you have confidence in and fish those baits. If you want to build confidence in a bait, only bring that bait when fishing and force yourself to use it.

Senkos. Start with these and expand from there.

You only get two eyes in your lifetime. Treat them well! I was going to get the 400G's but at the last second I changed my mind and got the 580G's

For the past couple of weeks I have really been enjoying a Pointer 78.

Duck poop everywhere you step...

Ouch!!

Anything that looks like a bluegill, or any color of a lizard.

I just bought my first Megabass.......

Tie on a leader if you think that the braid is spooking them.

Braided + leader may be something you want to try out..

Were you not using heavy braid? You'd break your arms before you broke that stuff
