Finally broke my dry spell caught on a Neko rig

With the everything going up in price the Zoom trick worm seems to be a good bang for the buck.

My Carolina setup is Assegai 7'6" F/MH with Skeet Resse Icon reel with 15#braid and 10# FC leader

I have one rod setup for froggin with 65# Hammer braid, due the heavy lily pads I fish.

No but I probably should.

I have settled on the Red Phillips knot for small dia braid to FC

I use Flourocarbon or KK Triploymer, but for frogs I use straight braid.

I have been using the Dirty Jigs Finesse, the local ponds I fish are loaded with debris and these work well. Also they have some heavy duty swim jigs.

How do the UV swim worms compare to the Big Bite Tour swim worms?

Deepest ondolences to the family. Always a very sad day when you hear news like this.

The first one I did was pretty scary. I use a silicone mat that I got off Amazon, . I take pictures of each step of disassembly. Bottom line is take your time, cover the reel with hand when removing springs,etc.. Use the right tools and lubricants. Take your time.

Maybe the best solution is to replace it. Also check with DVT. https://www.delawarevalleytackle.com/

Been very lucky with white power bait this year. I use a #8or10 hook, 18-24" leader, then a small swivel, add worm weight to the main line, then a bead. If current is too much may add a small split shot to the leader. There are other rigs you can use but this is mine for power bait.

Check out doitmolds.com for tube molds. @PourMyOwn said anglingai.com has tube molds plus the tube cutter
