  1. I don't match the hatch unless it is an accident. I make most of my stuff and go for things no one else has in colors that the fish have never seen.
  2. I used to make jigs for a boat dock. They only took delivery (100 dozen) once an year and could never remember my name so when I walked it invariably someone would say, "There's the jig man."

    Same as Bluebasser except I don't drink whiskey.

    Myself I'd get #3 heavy for the baits. I have no idea for the ovals.
  6. My Lowrances do this in shallow water. I think it is so much sound being reflected back in the shallow water. That shallow all they are good for is keeping you from running aground.
  7. I splurge her bud. Like stated you can use it when she isn't fishing. My wife has "accumulated" several setups over the years. She would rather do puzzles than fish, so guess who gets to use them most often.
  8. I make bladed jigs so I have sizes from 1/4 to 1 oz. The one I use most of the time is 1/2 oz.
  9. Never had them be better. Some about the same most worse than before.

    Guess I got in too much of a hurry. I sent mine to Blue already.
  11. Call 417-887-7334 Ask for the rod and reel repair in the outlet store. If it can be had Bob will know.
  12. You can let them down by increments. In 3 fow I doubt you can go very much. I have 8' poles on a 20' boat. The brackets are in the water when the boat is stopped.
  13. For those who downloaded and tried it what do you think? I messed around with it a bit yesterday. I was not impressed. I'll try some different color pallets next time out.
  14. You should always do a hard reset after updates. BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR WAYPOINTS ROUTES AND TRAILS BEFORE DOING THE HARD RESET. I don't know the keystrokes for sure but you can find them out at the Lowrance website. I don't seem to have lost anything on my Gen 3 units.
  15. Did you do a hard reset after the update?
  16. I did the download this am. Anxious to get on the water and check the improvements.

    Unless someone else signed up and I missed it then there are 9 of us so I guess 8.

    I plan to sort my baits into units for each person. I will package them in zip lock bags with my screen name inside so Blue won't have to sort them and people will know who sent them.

    I have shipped a thing or two to Canada. I'm thinking we need to send you at least $10 with our baits to cover shipping. I am working on finalizing my stuff. Since plastics go for less money I will be sending more of them. Blue if you will pm me you shipping info I will get mine in the mail sometime next week.
  20. If I had kids 5 and 3 I would be considering a deep V instead of a bass boat. It would be a lot safer with that age kids.
  21. Jig Man replied to Munkin's topic in Tacklemaking
    OK I have been looking at what I want to do. I will make an assortment for 15. I need to start now because it will take me some time. I am recovering from 3 fractured ribs and a ruptured lung so I can't stand and work except for short periods.
  22. Jig Man replied to Munkin's topic in Tacklemaking
    That is kind of what I had figured. So is the list complete? Am I making for 9 guys? How do we decide how many items to make for each person?
  23. Jig Man replied to Munkin's topic in Tacklemaking
    Since no one else has signed up for soft plastics, I'll make some. I am still not sure how this is going to work. Are we making some for everyone on the list of what?
  24. That is structure scan.
  25. If you are going to use it for Ned very often, I recommend that you use 6# fluorocarbon line in order to get the most bites. Your extra fast rod may cause you to set the hook too quickly if you aren't really attentive.
