Jig Man

I believe mind refers to a conscious process that can make decisions. A bass is either a predator or prey depending on the situation. Predators attack and prey flees. It doesn’t think or reason.

I don’t know where you live but around here you can not insure another person’s property.

I can’t advise you on the Arig itself as I make my own. On the bait my best days have come using white pearl flukes.

I keep several spinning reel spools in in the boat filled with different kinds and sizes of line so if the situation calls for a change I can quickly do it. I also carry some extra fluorocarbon for bait casters. That’s why boats have storage boxes.

That will work. I have a store bought one with a suction cup that I have used for years.

I have 7 Fenwick HMGs. None better for the price and warranty imo.

I’ve used the lifetime warranty on Fenwick HMG rods 3 times. Hastle free quick replacement service is what I found.

My truck gets washed every few days, but not by me. One of our local car washes has a $30/month unlimited wash. It includes washing, waxing, tire treatment and hand drying. All I have to do is vacuum the inside.

My daughter had rotator cuff surgery. She was in a sling and doing therapy for weeks on end. Now she has recovered and back to work.

I prefer my 843s to my 844s for spinnerbaits and I only fish 1/2 oz.

I wouldn’t use the 843 unless I was mad at it. I fish them a lot and would never tie one on my 843s.

You might call Clear Cast Marine in Springfield MO and see it the might have the part.

Could be any number of reasons for the wetness. Take it to an auto parts store and get it checked.

I buy my hooks by the 1000 count from Shorty’s. Mustad quality control = mfg in China.

I don’t remember ordering from them but they did get my email addy. I got so many annoying emails from them that I finally blocked them.

I’ve been waiting for you or Ted to respond because you two know your stuff about hooks.

Mustad quality went down as Eagle Claw quality came up. I switched a few years ago an am happy.

Line to bait no matter what line….Pitzen. It is fast, strong, and easy and I can tie it with gloves on.

Thinner wouldn’t hurt. I was fishing with a guy who was whacking fish. His jig looked like it had nothing on it I went back took his jig and counted. There were 7 hairs left on the thing. BTW the painting looks good.

I’d try what is on hand before I bought something else.

It’s more all of the fat from the gravy, dressing, buttered rolls the other greasy stuff than just the bird. That is why I request guajolote a mole poblano instead of the traditional. However, the chef says we are having 6 boy curry instead.

I only do shaky on 2 custom 7.5’ rods with Curado X70 reels. I use 12# fluorocarbon line on both. My neighbor uses lighter line and has a lot more break offs than I do.

When you hurt so bad you can’t fish 2 days in a row. (True)

I have never experienced anything like that, but I have never owned a Pfluger reel. I have 20 some Shimano spinning reels. Some of them are real high mileage and over 20 years old. You might want to switch brands.

You might spray some silicone or wd40 on the pole and let it soak down into the pcs to help loosen it.
