Jig Man

You bet there are so many price variations out there. My insurance company does a good job of tracking meds. If a cost skyrockets they notify me and recommend something else for my doctor and me to consider.

Elaztech worms Strike King and Zman in several colors.

They sure are expensive. I bought some from a guy in KS. They cost more than a dollar each. I found out about the Midwest Finesse jig mold. I bought it. Now I am only out the cost of the hooks.

They used to be made in Arkansas, but I was told they switched to China.

Direct from China?

I’d go for the Phoenix if it were me.

Just to be safe, you could install disconnect switches on one battery so you could just open them while charging.

Do you have a jack plate? What is your prop to pad height?

I use the light weight down to about 25' unless it is windy then I have to go deeper so I can feel it. You might get some 3/8 while you are at it.

A friend kept an aluminum going 20 years putting JBWeld on his rivets.

Have you checked your prop to pad height. 3 1/2” is the typical place to start.

A made in the USA company that produces quality is in Harrison AR. It is called Ark Rods.

I only know about the Stradics. I have 4 of them. None are new. All have been very satisfactory.

I hate bluffs. I love bluff ends.

My question is, are you missing fish when setting the hook? If not and you like it keep on keepin’ on.

15’ is not deep around here. We don’t worry unless they are 40’ or so.

I am betting you can mount a 10 at the bow and see it from the console. I’d get someone to position it while I sat at the console and made my decision.

I did the upgrade and could not tell much difference. I got more by super tuning my reels.

I have several and use them quite a bit but in December through March not now.

To get the most they need to match the depth finders. Power poles..... Lowrance. Talons.....Humminbird.

War Eagle 1/2 oz firecracker with home made trailer to match.

I had a bronco. That thing doesn’t even resemble a bronco.

I use 7s and 8s for everything except Arigs, then 5s.

I have used a lot of different hardnesses of lead. Printer’s lead is one of my favorites. I have never been able to tell any difference in feel. The difference is in durability. Most of my lead contains antimony and is a lot harder than plumbers lead. It is harder to pour than soft lead but Frankfort Arsenal Drop Out spray solved that issue.

3/8 and heavier or they don’t get close to the bottom.
