Jig Man

You want a project then you will have it. I'd say you could part it out and make money. The trailer alone with some used tires would bring a couple of hundred. Find the right wrench and you can get some cash for the motor.

I tried a few heads that I bought but did not like the hooks on any of them so I bought some Gammy 1/0 hooks and some Surflon 45# coated wire. It is plenty stiff for weed guard.

My wife had a bimini top on her boat. It was near worthless. In order to keep anyone in the shade I couldn't fish where I wanted to. It really was only good around noon in the summer. She takes an umbrella when she goes with me and wants shade.

It may just need to be cleaned. Often the prongs that are in the boats recessed part get corroded and need to be cleaned. If try cleaning the connections on the boat and the light. I've had to do that more times than I can count.

I use a lot of bubble gum in pre spawn.

Not every one on YouTube has a full sack of marbles. I turn mine on in the parking lot and turn it off in the parking lot.

The ones I have are made by Flambeau and not made of PVC.

I used to fish the Devil's Horse until I got a Boy Howdy. I missed a lot of strikes on the DH as it sets flat on the water. The BH is rear heavy and I caught a lot more on them because the hook up rate was higher.

I go up to my H rods for my 1/2 oz plus spinnerbaits. I'll use a MH for lighter weight ones. I use the same rods for them as I do my A rigs with the reels changed.

Elaztech and PVC are not friends. I learned the hard way.

Oldham makes something similar.

I only know about the HMG. I have 7 of them. Some of them date back to the mid 90s and keep on going.

Get yourself a "fish tape". Start it at one end along the inside of the gunnel and run it to the other end. Then tape the cable to it and pull it back.

I don't use braid with leaders any more. I never found a knot that I liked. I can tell you that I was getting my butt kicked with me in the front of my boat when I was using 10# mono and the guy in the back was using 12# fluoro. It took 2 trips before I was smart enough to switch. I say use fluoro if you are going to go braid with a leader.

Ned, shaky and Arig are my go to baits in the winter. A rig and shaky have been most productive lately.

I watch my line where it goes into the water. When I lift or twitch a bait off the bottom, I let it fall back to the bottom before I take up the slack.

I use scissors from the sewing department at Wal-Mart.

Anyone running 2 of them? I have one paired with my MK ulterra and thinking about another one in the console? Does this combination present any issues?

I used to sell extended warranties as part of my job. We loved to sell them and they were seldom ever used.

I mostly use 1/16 and 3/32. Once in a while I use 1/8 because it is easier to throw on a bait caster.

A google search of motorguide and minn kota can answer all of your questions.

I only sharpen my hooks on A rigs because the are always getting hung up.

Lots of tournament guys around here catch the males off the beds and are proud to do it. I personally think that it should be illegal. Once that male is gone those eggs are exposed to all the little predators lurking nearby and can no longer be kept away. I don't know how this can happen but I'd still like to see it.

If it were mine I'd put another coat of epoxy on it.

I recently saw a craw that was taken from a bass's mouth. It was green with orange splotches on it. I came up with something similar but could not get a bite on it. With that said my main colors have been root beer, black and plumb. I don't think match the hatch most of the time. I think change colors till I get a bite.
