Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Buy fewer, better quality lures. Over time you will keep fishing quality equipment for years, maybe decades.

NRX is a proprietary blank. What brand of blank is comparable?

New focus on a specific lure class: Spinnerbaits for 2013 I threw out or gave away most of my old, but unused spinnerbaits, I am only fishing the MegaStrike StrikeBack, Seibert Outdoors Cosmic Spinnerbait and Ledgebuster. I have replaced all skirts with Lumaflex Skirts.

I have a buddy in Alabama that actually makes them, but they are very similar to the Yum Yumbrella Flash Mob Junior: http://www.***.com/Yum_Yumbrella_Flash_Mob_Jr/descpage-YYBFLJ.html

I fish the Baby Craw naked on a 1/8 oz bullet weight, unpegged. As a trailer, I use the Craw or Lobster.

Tie your favorite knot, Hybrid doesn't require anything special I generally tie single hooks with a Palomar Knot; treble hook lures with a Pitzen Knot.

Here in the Mid South most striper fishermen use live bait. Gizzard shad, threadfin and skipjack are the baits of choice, but bluegill work, too! A strong second is The Rig. This year some friends and I have caught some monsters, 38 lbs best! As far as gear is concerned, I use either a heavy bass rod for live bait (MBR844C) or a glass rod for The Rig (Lamiglas SR705R). I have a CTE200GT on both rigs, 80 lb Sufix 832 line for the Alabama Rig, 17 lb P-Line for live bait. One more suggestion for live bait: 2/0 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook and a 3 oz weight on a three way swivel.

Glad to see your Seahawks in the playoffs, congrats! The two biggest surprises this year have been the amazing Redskins and disappointing Giants.

Well, jig fishing isn't always slow. The swim jig is another very effective lure that is always an alternative to a spinnerbait. The trailer options are unlimited. Here are four I use: Rage Tail Single Tail Grub and Menace; LFT Live Magic Shad and GYCB Swim Senko.

My friends have all converted to ultra light versions that can be fished on any jig rod. I think The Rig is both fun and effective. All of the fish I have caught have been on the interior hook. I have seen lots of multiple fish hooked up on the internet, but never on the water.

I hope 2013 starts out just as well for you. WTG!

We have two threads pinned at the top of this section; several videos in "Videos" (top of page in green); tons in "Fishing Articles" and threads on a lot of pages if you want to thumb through the back pages here in "Tackle". Jigs and jig fishing are very popular threads. So, to answer your question will take some research on your part, but I will give one specific response on how I generally fish a jig: First of all, some say match the colors of native crawdads in your pond. That's not me. I have an extensive collection of colors as most guys do. Start with a couple of all-time classics: black w/ blue trailer, PBJ and Falcon with matching trailers. All of my trailers are Rage Tail Craws or Lobsters. Everyone has a variety of weights including a favorite. Right now mine is the Siebert Outdoors Storm Jig, 1/2 oz - 1oz football head. Line is 50lb Sufix 832. Rod is 7'1" HF, specifically BCR854 Reel is Curado 200E7 Presentation: Cast our and let the jig settle to the bottom. SET THE HOOK if the jig stops falling. Otherwise, once it reaches the bottom let it sit for at least 30 seconds. Then move it up 6"-12" by lifting your rod tip. Picture in your mind a craw moving over a rock. Better yet, let's hope your jig is actually moving over structure or cover! That's the basics of one method.
