This is my go to for punching weeds. 1 jika rig usually will last a year. (the line tie on the tungsten weights pulls off) Real easy to make. I have these in 3/16, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 oz

Thank you everyone for the replies. Please don't get me wrong, I love punching milfoil. The issues I was having is this time of year the milfoil is dead on the top(about a foot below the surface) and the new growth is about a foot below the dead stuff. With the wind we are having it was tuff to pick out the pockets. I found a bunch a few weeks ago in tme milfoil with a chatterbait, but was getting tired of ripping it through and then picking the dead milfoil off my lure. That area is about 2 acres. The lake (60 some acres) has multiple areas like this. Right now with everyone off, everyone is pitching this area. I wanted to try the swim jig in there(experiment) this area is great in the summer when you can figure out the depth the fish are holding. I've had days just in this area with 5 or more bass over 3 lbs, just pitching this area and another one.

Lesher lake. 6.o8 lbs

Chatterbait on of 12 fish for the day

Bought a few swim jigs last night. I went out this morning. Nothing for the first hour and a half. Then the wind picked up. Got my first swim jig bass. (2.5lbs) caught a 1 over also in the milfoil. I then got some balls and decided to fish the nastiest part of the lake. What you see above the surface is about a third of the wood. 5 minutes casting into this mess and bam a 4 lber. I caught 2 more 2 lbers and had to call it a day

I knew I should've said punching or frog?. swim jig was sorta the answer I was looking for. I was also curious about a paddletail. Thank you

I usually punch it in the summer, but I am thinking I would like to run a moving bait through the sparser areas

Wow. How can you keep track of everything going on?

My son lives in L.A. He told us the stay at home was just extended to September. TW is in California

I use a mh model fast 6' 6" rod with 17lbs fluro. I like the shorter rod for skipping. I use to use a mh/ fast but lost a bunch of fish. After reading g these posts, I'm wonder if the action has more to do with the power of a person's hookset?

On another forum (which is about redoing aluminum boats) they suggest using OLD-TIMER S FORMULA One part Boiled Linseed Oil, One part Spar Varnish or Spar Urethane. Two parts Mineral Spirts. It's cheap and lasts forever Also never use (regular) pressure treated wood on a aluminum boat

Thanks. ( I agree ) when I googled it, is stated 75% and I didn't really want to get into a debate that someone says " well it said on Google "

75% of tungsten comes from China

^^^^^This^^^^^^^^ Tungsten is usually 97%. All the tungsten I have used seems the same.

My dedicated punching/ pitching combo is a 7'2" expride heavy with a curado 70. I have reeled 5 pounders through heavy milfoil and slop. The 70 will be a great reel for your uses. I have not used a k, but the 70 is a great size reel to palm. I have Diawa tatula sv's and preference the the 70

Leaser. Is a great lake. It is not near as tuff as other pa lakes. Go to the general store and buy a map. From there it's just follow the seasonal patterns.

1 amp. Use a compass to make sure there's no magnetic interference. You can mount the puck anywhere there is no interference

I use 17 lbs sniper and 12lbs. I know it's not a great comparison, but the difference is night and day. I use conditioner on the sniper. I have never used it on the tatsu. I like both, but rely on the tatsu for my lighter line applications. When I use conditioner on new line. I spray conditioner onto a sponge and run the line through it, while filling the spool. I do this with braid too. (Instead of line conditioner, I use fabric conditioner) it seems to last longer that way. Sorry to hear you are having problems. I love me some tatsu!

Every day I see someone selling Olympic weights on Facebook. Usually half the price of new. .50$ a pound is the going rate. I bought all mine off of Facebook or craigslist.

This is about the closest your gonna get BASS MAFIA 3700 DEEP

Get the same transducer you have on the transom. Mount it to your trolling motor with one of these

My guess is steel will rust

Nice. Could you please tell me who makes these?

Pic?

I don't have a tracker, but with minn kota trolling motors, they use locking nuts. This could also be a possibility why they are spinning. You will need to get a wrench in there. When installing the new motor. I f you are using an electric tool to install the bolts. ( If the nuts that come with your new trolling motor are locking nuts. ) DO NOT RUN THEM FAST INTO THE NUT! It will heat up the nylon in the nut and make it a pain in th a$$ to take them off in the future. Don't ask me how I know ?
