The problem that some have, is the hook set. There are some pretty good hefty hook in some 3/8 jigs. Set according! Have a buddy that struggles with this as he usually is using worms with light wire offset hooks. He can set a jig to save his soul!

No disrespect intended, but if the Uni didn't perform well, there was a flaw somewhere, because testers consistently rate it at 97% and if doubled, it is one of the few 100%'s

No......I use 10#braid to 8# FC and have great success. The trick is to really tighten it every 1/3 and do 20 wraps. If it is slipping, is is usually haw you are finishing the knot Edit......I do believe that when lines get that small the benifits of the FG subside and often use uni to uni

The start of a fine day on "Golden Pond", Squam lake

Timing is funny... I just left my buddy and he was telling me this....... " I normally have my marina do all my work, but their price was 50% more the the same service and it would tie up the boat for 2 weeks. I had the work done elsewhere and had it back in 3 days. The owner of the marina was so upset because he thought I went elsewhere because of the time loss on water. He brought a fruit basket to my work to apologize ". That is sincerity!

Frankly the hardware on most of them such, that said most guys use way to much power in setting the hook. I have found that mist hook themselves and require little effort. It may be the combination of the two I replace almost every treble that comes stock

No downside at that price, my top water doubles as a swimbait rod and it is an e6x that retails for about the same....just make sure it is rated for the weights you plan on throwing

I use a net for ALL trebles and the rubber net make life easier for me and the fish. Will likely buy one with flatter surface area instead of the rubberized rope as the benefits outweigh the cons

It doesn't sound like you have to be a rocket scientist for this fix, I would look elsewhere. Time on the water is valuable. That said, John is correct and what compounds the problem is the limited season. Regardless, I think the phrase that starts " fool me once......" Is appropriate. On a side note, I am going through similar situations with home improvement contractors, even an average contractor can't forsee problems along the way, and let's face it, some prioritize for their bigger customers. Look at this as an opportunity to look for other options

Don't own one but used one 2 weeks ago with 1/2 ounce jigs and it was awesome. Buy with confidence!

The larger fish on my lake are coming from OLD docks and deeper rock and tree cover. Jigs are bring in the bigger ones. Night fishing top waters has also been successful

I have been a mod on a couple larger forums. In our cases, the pic issue and running slow was indicative of a needed upgrade. The last time it happened on a large cigar forum, a lot of info was lost in the migration. Usually notice is given by admins and mods. If this happens, I recommend backing up everything you deam important. Not saying this is the case here, but this was the precursor the last 2 times a picture issue and slowdowns happened. Al

Great to see, and congrats. Several parks in my area removed the barrels with the thought that making them a "carry in-carry out" would take place. This has worked in our prestine areas, but failed every place out. The bottom line is that trash removal wasn't consistent enough. Glad this is working out for you.

Best if applied as it is spooled, but no big deal if it isn't. For best results give the spool a cpl squires the night before and one an hr when fishing.

If this is of great interest to you, I can try to get all the details and any printed materials?
