X2 for all jigs not a fan of wire keepers at all.

Jumped in the boat for a few hours after work today (3-6:30). Caught 6, 1 each on a jig and spinnerbait and 4 on a bladed jig with the best of those going 5-15.

Oh my, mine would have a t.v. remote in one hand and a buzzbait in the other. For a name we would go with 'Clickbait' for short. Probably look something like this-

Thats the first name that came to my mind as well. I think the show was 'the fishing hole'?

Sweet pig @deep .congrats!!?

I use braid because it is the best 'all around line'.

More like creating a problem that didn't exist. These aren't new as i got some last year from reaction tackle ( i think) and bps sells these as well i believe. Anyway seemed like a good idea to me, the streamlined look, however as often as not the weight ended up perpendicular to the bait which i personally found annoying. Now if they went back to the drawing board and molded in a screwlock to secure it i might give them another shot. Edit: i should add that i was pegging these not sure how they would function unpegged.

Congrats man! Absolutely awesome!

I dont have a crawdad, however, on my aluminum jon there are two h.i.d. placards in the boat one visible on the outside of the transom and the second one on the inside under the weight limit/ hp. Plate. Your boat should have one of these. Might want to check under it. His is a pic from my old jon where the hp.plate had come off To see what to look for.

Yea if you get the back end of the boat up against the bottom plate of the dolly and lift the front end of the boat it will lift the dolly off the ground and makes it easy to move around.

Ive been using a 2 wheel hand truck for my 10 ft. Flat bottom for at least a dozen years. 25 bucks at home depot.

Yes. A little backstory, back when chatterbaits came out i thought ,ehh gimmick. A couple years later i see l.p.o.(might have still been stamina back then) selling the blades and my mind says hmm ive got some busted spinnerbaits ( cuz im a tackle hoarder and dont toss anything)i could turn into chatterbaits. While they did produce the problem was eventually i would get nothing but my blade back after a cast. Was never sure if the blade worked out of my loop or if the wire (.035 mostly) was snapping. Made a few more this past off season but never threw them much as the chatter bite has been dead for a couple years now for me. On a side note if you wanted to cut down new premade frames you could get buzzbaits in the .051 wire mentioned above however the head styles are a bit limited if that matters to you.

Just an fyi, TW has a couple of spinnerbaits that claim titanium frames ,one by molix and two by omega .

Outlet bait has has a covert 3 bait bundle for 9.50 for a month or two now.

Put the boat in for a few hours thanksgiving a.m. fished 9-1 caught 9, all on a jerkbait, with the biggest at 3-2. Figured it was worth another shot so i went back and fished for an hour before work this a.m. in a chilly rain. While i can't cast to where i caught them yest. I hit a spot near the launch and got 3 more on the same jerkbait. Forgot to grab my scale but the best was probably around 3lbs. again.

These 3 see the most work throughout the season for me.top to bottom; spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, punching.

Got out today from 7:30-1.Caught 7 on a spinnerbait,nothing special, but it was some late season punching with a double wide beaver that made the day. It only produced 2 bites but they weighed 3-3 and 6-13.

Got out today 8-1. Not my best day, whiffed on a couple ,dropped a couple and had a couple whiff on my baits but managed to boat 5, 1 on a buzzbait, 3 on a Spinnerbait, and 1 on a frog that weighed 4-10.

Got out 8-1 boated 6 bass, 1 on a popper, 1 on a Spinnerbait, 2 on a punch rig and 2 on a buzzbait with 1 of those the best of the day at 3-12.

?ive got a few different colors. this one was whitish with a greenish back i think. I should note that i tie a hair tail (synthetic deer hair)for it as well.

3-5 Maine smallie on a bps bargin bin popper.
