Jig Man

I have given up on wild game. Other than quail, I don’t like it any more and believe me I have tried. Just give me a corn fed Kansas City strip or a fillet and I am good.

I carry at least 20 setups in my boat. Not one of them is as specific as your list. Except for my Arig setups all of them see at least double duty. Even my Neds double for sliders and bucktail jigs.

I don’t think it is out yet. I only live 9 miles from them and don’t have one.

Yes

Commercials were better than this halftime show.

I’d be looking for a screw extractor.

I really don’t have any old baits or setups. I generally sell mine off and replace them every few years.

Have you ever had to use it in the boat? I have a switch in the boat that allows me to change batteries in an emergency though with the X2 battery I have never needed it.

If you try it, I highly recommend that you get some Zeros.

It may no longer be stocked. You might find a reel service that has one.

You hit them with a judo and they aren’t going anywhere.

You don’t need much for rabbits. When I used to hunt tree rats with my bow I wanted to be able to find my arrows so I used judo points. https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/1023162964?pid=568014&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Archery+-+Broadheads+and+Points&utm_content=568014&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjJOQBhCkARIsAEKMtO1DdqtAJ-hSn6X8zFne4N94b2SGkk4mk-6l72xNFASDr25QW9M6LRoaAjWFEALw_wcB

I wore my Makitas out and have replaced them with Porter.

When would I choose Shaky over Texas Rig, almost all of the time. I get way more bites and catch more on Shaky than TR. However I don’t fish the same kind of baits on shaky that I do on TR. For example, I would never fish a craw on a shaky jig.

There are definitely differences. I own 3 different kinds. I don’t sell so I may not be as particular as some guys. What I use most comes from Harbor Freight.

My Ulterra trolling motor is the best thing on the boat for me With Ipilot link it has more features than I will ever use. I can control it from anywhere in the boat using 6 different devices and the self stow and deploy are what is keeping me being able to continue fishing.

There is a lot of it out there. Try Google.

You might check Dale Hollow Tackle.

I have one of my 70s set up as a dedicated Ned rig. I used 6# fluorocarbon until last fall when I switched to Yozuri hybrid 6#. I have different setups for those other baits you mentioned.

I use 8/1 for vertical jigging because of the feel over other lines. Vegetation is not a concern for me as we don’t have any.

I know some motor cycle guys who swear by them.

If I’m making a fluffy collar finesse jig I spend some time trimming it, otherwise it’s snip snip done.

I remember a song we sang as a kid. It goes something like this, beans beans delicious fruit the more you eat the more you toot, the more you toot the better you feel, so eat some beans with every meal.

Are you talking in the act of spawning or during spawning season? I have caught many female white bass at night during the spawn which were laying their eggs. I released them immediately. I release all largemouth and smallmouth immediately after I catch them.
