Hmm... I fish with friends. They can use anything I own without any obligation. I know they respect my gear, but pooh-pooh happens. As for rods & reels I don't expect a problem, but for lures and baits I bought them to be fished and that means losing a few. I encourage friends to try some of my jigs with the expectation of losing them, just like I do.

Mike is in charge of the pics, detailing the components and all other technical aspects of the build. He will be along later. I'm looking forward to finding out exactly what I have!

I fish the NorthStar and Siebert Outdoors swim jigs. Both are hand tied and custom ordered. I know you would like both company's jigs.

http://www.delawarevalleytackle.com/ Mike delivered my new rod on Friday. He will contribute the techical aspects of the build later on this thread. My part is simply a fisherman's take on the build. We have been working on this for a few months and the finished product is nothing short of spectacular! The stick is a 7' foot spinning rod mounted with a Stella 2500 FB. This was designed and built as a dedicated tool for soft plastics or what some would refer to as a "Senko Rod". Mike will provide the details on the components used, but from my perspective he was given free range on the construction of the rod. I sent him the reel for a complete breakdown and cleaning. More importantly, I wanted him to have the reel for custom balancing on the rig. The blank is black, silver guides and gold trim. I consider the rod to be Medium Heavy with an Extra Fast tip, but Mike may correct me on this. My initial thoughts were "Too heavy for weightless plastics", but was I wrong! My reel is spooled with Yo-Zuri Hybrid #4 (8.5 lb breaking strength). The set-up absolutely launches a Senko. I'm anxious to hear what Mike has to say, so for now that's all I have. Thank you buddy, I am VERY pleased! -Kent

The main difference is current, the most important variable in river fishing. A second aspect is structure verses cover. Lakes have both and to some extent rivers do, too. However, on the rivers I fish it is ALL about structure.
