Jig Man

I live at 100 S. Main, Obsessed, MO. I hunt 1/2 day per year. I don't bowl. I don't golf. I fish 100 days per year most years.

Yes it can. The price around here varies from about $300 to over $1000 depending on the shop that does the work.

I'd quit, sell the boat and camper and go back to golf.

I'll be doing the same old same old. Fishing when the weather allows and the water is not hard. This past year was the worst I have had in many a year. The fish were hard to find after the spawn and the smallies just disappeared. Even the best white bass lake had a die off and fall fishing for them was nonexistent. I'm looking forward to a better year in 2011.

I don't run Birds but do run side imaging. I just sold my regualr gps units and have a new side imaging unit coming for the bow. I hate to sit up there and have the guy in the back using side or down scan and I have only 2d sonar. I think in a few years we may see 2d sonar go the way of the horse and buggy.

I fished there on Tuesday. I had a short spinnerbait bite just as the line quit freezing. Then it stopped. I cound not get bit on a jig and wound up catching the rest of my fish on rocky banks without trees. Tubes were all I could get them to hit and that was not often.

I only use the swim jig chunk from zoom. It looks like a swimmer with flippers.

The last few years I have caught twice as many bass on tubes as on jigs. Jigs produce bigger fish for me but not as many.

It sounds like it is a really good deal. That makes me wonder why they are willing to sell it that low and throw in new carpet. If I were buying it with winter coming on, I keep a deal braker until almost done with the trading then I spring a longer warranty on them. Them giving you longer warranty won't cost them anything if the motor is in good shape.

I have lots of molds. I only have 2 store bought molds (tube and stick). The rest I have made myself. There are lots of ways to make molds. Pick some types of baits and research ways to build molds for them or buy one of the cheaper molds and some plastisol, dye, and glitter. Then make a few. You need to do this out of the house. I work in the garage with hot plates and a cheap microwave. My first ones were made in the kitchen with one of my wife's pans. That didn't last very long.

The hi vis yellow is what I am using now. Sometimes the fish won't take a bait in clear water with it. I have never had that problem with the white. BTW: I just got a call from a friend and he got a local mom and pop shop to order us 600 yds of the white 8/1 so problem solved. Thanks for the ideas guys.

Thanks I'll check it out.

I am looking for the 8/1 or maybe the 10/2. I use it for walleye vertically jigging in the winter. It really translates a bite from 50+ feet down and is easy to see.

I am wanting some of it and can't find it at any local dealers. I can't find the size I want online. Shimano won't sell it to an individual. Have any of you guys noticed it in stores where you buy fishing supplies?

Alberto's knot is the only one that has never failed for me. I got the tip from Avid here on this forum.

If it will hook up then it should be compatible. Tell us more about what is going on so we may have an idea of your problem. What unit was there before the 17?

I use Power Pro 5/1, 8/1 and 10/2 on my Shimano 1000 series reels a lot. I too tried Fireline and wound up throwing it away.

ME TOO

I use a switch to change my ducers because I want the guest to see the same as I be it front or back.

Is this for a lake rating or a motor on the boat rating? If it is the boat then your insurance would probably be no good. And yes if they know anything they should be able to tell.

Where I buy my tires the give me a free rotation and inspection twice a year. My trailer is 9 years old and has worn out 2 sets of tires as I fish close to 100 days per year. The last time I had the tires rotated the guy said by the December rotation I should plan on replacing the brakes. This is a 20' tandem axle trailer with brakes on the back axle carrying over about 3000 #s of boat, motor, gasoline and gear.
