Jig Man

I don't like to fish with people who talk a lot. It is distracting and I want to put all my concentration into knowing when I get a pickup. I also don't look more than a few feet above the waterline so I never see the eagles, etc.

When she wants to go. When she doesn't I call around for a guy.

Try swimming a black bucktail jig with a real #11 pork frog on it.

Check your pm.

What ratio are you using to get all that smoke and plug fowling?

Learn the 16/20 and you won't need any other knot.

There are several ways to do what you want but you have not provided enough info for a good answer. Where are your "bulk" waypoints? What map datum are they? Are they in the Lowrance format or some other brand? Once that info is provided maybe we can give you some help.

If I could buy ethanol free gasoline I would by all means do it. I only know of one place around me to get it and that is a 50 mile drive. If you don't do ethanol free you should install a water seperating fuel filter if you don't have one already.

Check around with some techs. They can be lubed. If you want to build a gizmo to do it yourself send me a pm and I can give you a link.

Check out some of the sites I listed. You can find starter kits that are mostly all inclusive.

I need: a M 6.5' spinning rod for plastics a MH 6.5' bc for spinnerbaits and light jigs a MH 7' for 1/2 oz spinnerbaits and medium jigs a H 7' for 3.4 and 1 oz jigs.

If you can heat them just to the point where the paint goes on and has a dull finish it will be a thin coat and not tend to run when you are baking them. I heat mine either with a propane torch or several at a time in a toaster oven if I am doing a bunch.

Places to look are Barlow's, Jann's Netcraft, Lure Craft and Bears's just to name a few. Also you can go to tackleunderground and read all kinds of tips in the soft plastic forum. There are a few things you will need no matter where you buy: plastisol coloring glitter molds melting method holding containers gloves for hot items

Just going to 24v won't double your speed. You can get 24v at about 67 # of thrust and that won't be enough. I seriously doubt if the biggest one can get you 6 mph. However, you will get better performance, more staying power, and more speed when you go larger. If your budget allows, go for the most thrust you can get and add some length to the shaft of the new one. If your tmotor battery has age on it then get 2 new ones. Get at least 27 series and as many reserve amps as possible (200 is ideal).

I'd get a cheap pair of muffs hook them to a water hose, put stabilizer in the fuel and run it for a while. Write it down on a piece of paper and tape it to the motor. Then you'll know.

Power Pro works for me.

Bigfoot has a 30 # mushroom that he uses in the Bass Cat when he night fishes for crappie. I have been with him and it works pretty well.

No that is not too shallow for drop shot, though you might not be able to do it vertically.

I got them in my camper once and got rid of them with the ant traps. Once they got into the house and I sprayed with Home Defense from Lowe's I think.

None of the above is my favorite. I like to use a jig with what ever as a trailer. Second is Trig, then wacky.

The first thing I do is mark a wpt because the lake I fish mostly doesn't have houses or boat docks and lots of places look alike. Then I either use my memory or a map and look for more spots like JF.

I suppose it would be Jack Rudnay when he was the center for the Kansas City Chiefs. We used to meet on Tuesdays which was his day off.

I use it for visability so white and hi vis yellow are my colors with or without a leader.

Two things I always have tied on: tubes (they find fish for me) and jigs (they catch bigger fish).

I did not know gate shears were available at a place like Home Depot. You can dip them in the powderpaint jars. I did it for years. You can use any heat source to warm up the lead. I use a small propane torch when only doing a few. Some guys use a heat gun. I have used a candle. Be sure to paint them and put the skirts on before attaching the weedguard. I'm sure Cadman has some instructions that he might email you. Ted seems to have a file for most everything. Also you might contact him for paint. He had some cheap a while back. If you have a Harbor Freight Sales near you they have a few colors of powder.
