I get 0 on my phone and my desktop.

Not sure why it is not working for me. But thanks for taking the time.

Ill need to look up the slider technique. Thanks. No extra weight. Was using the Zman finesse bullet which essentially is a t rig. The open hook mushroom jig was getting caught up alot in submerged grass and weeds, even the one with the weed guard. Thanks!

I fish some pretty pressured ponds and gave in to the midwest finesse. Anyone else having any luck with the ned rig bank fishing? So far I have only caught one dink on the craw trd and finesse bullet, but that was sight fishing the little guy.

Buy once, cry once. Looks like the SV is $173 on Amazon right now. If you can budget the extra $73 over the next 1-2 months, may be worth just pulling the trigger.

I found black and blue Strike King Pro Premiere Jigs for 75 cents at Walmart!!

Well, I went to Wally World to pick up my Arkie's and was pleasantly surprised when I found Strike King Premier Pro Model Jigs on sale for SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS! 3/8 and 1/2 oz. Black and Blues. When I gain more confidence I'll get some nicer jigs, but I know this gumby is basically throwing $1.56, $0.75 at a time into the Please Don't Snag wishing well.

You gotta match the hatch! Get yourself a small jig like a baby boo and trail that thing with some chicken gizzard. Or try a wacky senko.

I think Wal-Mart might get them wholesale and sell them at $1.59 but move lots of them to profit. Arkie is like the Kirkland's of jigs there. I don't see much of a difference. Looks like neither one caught a bass.

Arkie Rattle Bands are $1.59 here, but don't tell our bass. EDIT: But, I do enjoy a Flukemaster Jig, Trust Me.

One of the few truths I learned in my short life was to be an educated consumer. It is their job to sell you something, it is your job to decide to buy it or not.

Right now restricted to the gym. I was spoiled when I lived in Austin; the gym and crag where maybe 10 minutes apart.

Every morning I have a debate of whether to go climb or go fish. Climbing has been winning as of late, but I better go pick off a spawning bass before I miss out. But if you want to drop pounds fast, cut out soda, eat a salad and drink a glass of water before lunch and dinner, eat two apples for snacks mid morning and mid afternoon and start rock climbing 2-3 times a week.

Found this article helpful. They refer to Arkie as a casting/structure jig. There's looks a bit different, but I think the general build is the same. I also think of Arkie as the jigs that can be had for < $2 at Wally World. https://www.flwfishing.com/tips/2015-09-29-bass-fishing-101-choose-the-right-jig

I've had good luck with the Boyah pond magic spinner on clear small ponds. I haven't tried 20 ft deep, but I bet you can let it sink and slow roll it back.

My advice would be figure out how much money you have, figure out how much money you are spending, make a budget, and stick to it. If you can budget $300 swimbaits, $900 combos, 1/64oz tungsten, etc. go for it; Just make sure you have enough in the bank to make sure you are taken care well beyond your old age. There is a fishing budget for everyone.

Weightless Worn. NEXT!

I usually just use one of the original plastic bags; Pack 3-4 each of the plastics and colors in the bag that I plan to use and head out. I use a ridiculously small kindergartener's back pack that I commandeered from my son that holds two 3600 boxes with all my terminal and hardbaits and to be honest I definitely feel over packed most of the time. Good luck!

My wife is also a medical professional and she would say, "Go see your doctor." May be nothing now and can be rehabbed, but you do not want it to get worse.

It is probably toxic to fish, but you also have to remember that you are diluting it in a large body of water, so they may not be taking in the amount you are thinking.

Salmon? Trout?

Sorry. R-ecovery P-er T-urn. Need more caffeine.
