Jig Man

I take advantage of the Bass Pro Service Center 34 point inspection each fall when I get the oil and lower unit serviced on my Verado.

The weedguard shpold be the last thing that goes on the jig.

So are you talking casting or vertical jigging. Guys are already spooning bass over 40’ deep on Table Rock.

Check with Cadman, smalljaw and Mike at Seiberts one of them or maybe even munkin might have them.

I am with RW go over the top. If he isn’t wowed then he doesn’t deserve the stuff so she can return it.

I’m sure that it will be a good selection for you. There is no need to use a large reel for an application that needs only 6# test line. You go with bigger stuff then you are not Ned fishing.

Stradics and Symmetys have been my mainstay though the Sahara is also a good work horse. I don’t even know how many of each I have.

I have 4 designated spinning setups for Ned rig fishing. I use my Shimano 1000s and 2000s with 6# fluorocarbon line. I don’t like braid and leaders. I don’t have any spooling issues with the straight fluorocarbon line. I keep my 2500s for other techniques like shaky and tubes with heavier line.

There is no end to what you can get and use. I have everything that has been listed. I use vice, wire, pliers, side cutters and scissors. If I am thread tying then I don’t need the wire side cutters and pliers.

I use floral wire from Lowes. You also need side cutters and scissors.

I’ve had both. I think Lowrance has the best 2d but Humminbird has the best down and side.

Depends on the bait, spinnerbait and crankbait, give me the front, Ned and shaky I’ll take the back.

We have a Lews Store that is closing. They have a 40% off sale. You might get a deal from them. Sportsmans Factory Outlet is the name. The phone number is 417-881-1635.

The V will give you a better ride and handle rough water better. The semi will give you a more stabile fishing platform.

Google Ned Rig and watch Ned’s video. You will learn stuff.

I assume you have Lowrance electronics since you are talking Power Poles instead of Talons. Color wise black for me.

I tend to split evenly quite often. If I were to go higher it would be the rod.

I fish in lots of rocks. For me the football doesn’t get hung up as often or as bad as the arky.

Fishing with my grandson I hooked a smallie. It jumped and threw the bait. I reeled in the jig with the trailer missing. A short time later my grandson boated a smallie. It spit my trailer out onto the boat deck.

When I used that slow to tie rascal 7 wraps were commonly accepted. I haven’t used it since I discovered the Pitzen a long time ago.

Those can be good times. When we lived in the country and had a 24x40 out building I used to have guys from neighboring towns come out to pour and tie. There was always something to learn.

I have caught a lot of crappie on them. My favorite is the spring cricket.

It was foggy and I only got to fish 3 hours but managed 14 on various baits. Most of them on Zeros.

We are skipping the traditional gathering so tomorrow my wife and I are going to pack a turkey lunch and head to Table Rock Lake for the day.
