Jig Man

Pitzen for all lines.

I have a pair of Costas and a pair of $3.49 from Wally World. There isn't much difference in what I can see on the water.

That is good wet cell battery maintenance.

This isn't about a set up for fishing. It is about carpal tunnel syndrome. I had it in both wrists so bad I had to wear braces to fish and alternate right and left hand casting every few minutes in order to fish at all. My doctor put me on NSAIDS which helped. I finally had to have surgery to fix my right wrist. My left was getting worse and I was thinking about surgery on it but then I had a blood clot in my brain which caused me time in the hospital and considerable rehab time. The first thing they did in the hospital is take away my NSAIDS and told me to quit taking them due to kidney or liver damage down the road. They also said I needed to give up alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and wheat in order to help prevent another stroke. I thought the wheat thing was insane but I don't want to go through this again so I quit all of them. After about a month I noticed I was having less symptoms in my left wrist. It has now been 2 years since I have had any wheat products and I still do not have carpal tunnel in my left wrist. It might be worth 30 days of your time to get off wheat and see if it helps your situation.

I have 2 6.5' Avids. One has a Shimano Stradic 2500 and the other has a Shimano Symmetry 2500. The balance seems good to me.

I have found AGM batteries to be the best for my purposes. They are sealed and can be installed just about any where and any way you want them to be. I sold my boat year before last. It had Optimas in it that had been going strong for over 4 years (trouble) free. When I bought my new boat I had 4 Blue top Optimas put in it. I might buy something besides Optimas some day but then again maybe not.

I bought a new boat in the summer of 2016. It came with a NOCO 4 bank charger. In less than a year one of the banks went bad. It was replaced and the new one has been going strong since.

I hope that the Celtics shut Cleveland down in 4.

I'm guessing you got water in it thus the interference. If it were mine I'd try to dry it out and epoxy then test. If it works you are good. If it doesn't you are out a little time and a bit of epoxy.

I always spend more time at the bow than at the helm. I want the best I have to be where I spend my time.

I got the package at the post office when I got home yesterday. I've been on a 2 week fishing vacation. Thanks Blue for all of your work and thanks guys for the baits. They are definitely baits that I don't have in my arsenal. Blue you should have kept the "overstock" as commission for your work on this project.

Allen, do you have an account at Shorty's? His other store Captain Hooks has them for $419/1000

I can't tell you the number of times I have seen this happen. Some people have had complete "come aparts" over this.

This guy usually gives a pretty good report.

I have noticed very little difference in the performance of Lowrance units no matter what the water color is.

I booked it out and the average retail value is $5460 so the guy is in the ball park with pricing. I'd offer $4500 if I wanted it and everything checked out.

No not in general it won't make you a better fisherman, however, I take my wife's friend's husband from time to time. His idea of equipment is Wally world close outs. At least half of the day he is busy picking out back lashes while I am casting. Decent equipment may not make him better at catching fish but at least it would give him more opportunity to do so. He is already skilled enough at picking out the birds' nests.

A popsnagger is very handy pliers, braid cutter, hook threader, eye cleaner, and hook sharpener. It never leaves my boat.

12# on bait casters for worms and tubes.

I'd carry 1/2 a broom handle if I went where yard carp are hanging out. They only charge at me 1 time.

I use fluorocarbon line for everything except spinning reels.

I'm sending you a pm.

I change baits way before I change patterns. When I am by myself I often have 10 setups rigged and ready. I keep some on the deck and some at the passenger's console. I make a predetermined # of casts then pick up a different setup. If I make it through all of them and have nothing, I move the boat and try something else. When all else fails out comes the little guy. If they won't hit him they won't hit anything.
