Jig Man

I always keep mine in the bag they came in. They have been there for years.

I contacted our Missouri Conservation Department about stocking fish in some of our ponds. They said if they did then I would have to let the public fish them. But it wasn’t just one day per year it was whenever someone wanted to.

Stopping is probably more of a concern than towing. My wife towed my 20 Champion all over even to south Texas and back with a Ford Windstar minivan. She had no problem and the trailer had brakes so stopping was not an issue.

Bands rot. Copper floral wire doesn’t and is easy to use.

I no particular order green pumpkin red, watermelon red, watermelon candy, pb&j, coppertruse, the deal, Alabama craw, California craw, purple haze, june bug, dirt, easy money, and new money go where I go.

Mo I had all of the ones you mentioned and as the new generations came along I found improvements and sold off the old ones. I did the same with bait casters. I have done the same with rods. I guess I am not nostalgic.

I used it until I tried some Power Pro.

That’s a heck of a deal.

I feel that live view is just another step in the technology of the sport. I am a Humminbird guy so I have been wanting the Mega Live and waiting for over a year. I now have one and it will be installed later this month. I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can get from it. I probably don’t have as much time left in a boat as you do and so I am trying to make as much as possible with the time I have left.

I’ve read about it on a well known tackle building site that is owned by Lure Parts Online that I can not post on here. You can go to their site to the bottom of the page forth column to the right second line down.

It might behove you yo watch a bunch of videos on all three and see how much difference you see.

Does the Skeeter have power poles or talons? It makes a difference functionally. What gps/sonar units do each have. What trolling motors are on each? What batteries are in each and how many?

Why are you wanting a Garmin live scope instead of the Humminbird Mega live which can be Ethernet linked to other Humminbird units?

I have 3 Solix units 10, 10, and 12. I had a 360 but sold it. My Ulterra didn’t function well with the weight. I have a Mega live and a mount which arrived this afternoon. I have been waiting on Mega live for over a year. I watched a guy last week going down a bluff and not casting until he saw a bass. It looked efficient to me. I don’t want anything smaller than a 10 and would prefer 12 and 15 if I had the room.

My boxes are the Flambeau that a Zman tech recommended to me. The boxes aren’t my problem. I have bought out two different stores when they were closing them out and I have accumulated too many colors for my containers so it looks like some of them are going to be left at home.

So they will bleed. Thanks for your answer.

I used to be but maybe not now as my Elaztech collection is under 200 pks. That’s basically all I buy and make the rest.

They aren’t Plano (pvc) boxes just that type for an example that most can relate to.

I’ve been doing it for several years. I track at least 20 things. I used to use filters and develop year end reports.

I have tried many ways to store them in the boat. I haven’t been satisfied with any of them so I am going back to the Plano type box. If they are stored together opened and more than one color in the same compartment, will the colors bleed? I have 12 compartments and 15 colors.

You will get many answers to those questions. I have been making soft baits foe a very long time. I prefer Calhoun’s medium plastisol but others will probably recommend different stuff. When you buy colorant be sure that it is a non bleed so your colors won’t corrupt. Get glitter the same place so you won’t be buying cheap stuff that will melt.

Gonna take a boat or plane?

Collision deductible should cover everything.

It doesn’t have any effect on the boat but is a big pita for anyone in it. Sunscreen and a seat umbrella for you would be a lot less cumbersome. My wife had one on her boat. It was pretty near worthless.
