Jig Man

Word is out that BS is hotter than a pistol right now (jerks and cranks).

You better check out Wally World before you buy batteries from them. In lots of places they are selling their deep cycles with NO WARRANTYbecause so many people were bringing them back it became a losing proposition.

More than brand look for reserve amps. Get 27 series with 200 reserve amps any where but Wally World.

I make my tandems in 3/8 oz. varying the size and type of blades because I want them in the upper part of the water column. I make my single spins in 1/2 oz so I can get them down near the bottom.

I tried to use a 1000 Shimano like you are thinking. I could cast off all most all of the line and that made me nervous. So now I don't go bigger than 6# on them.

Low. HDS 10 with the LSS1

The Alberto's knot is the only line to leader knot that I use any more.

A friend of mine owns a tackle shop and guides. It is in the Kimberling City shopping center. Buy some baits and pick his brain. Jerry is a good guy and may tell you some stuff.

Is your friend a local so he will have current info? How big is his boat?

Some 6 gauge wire would be sufficient.

The bigger the better: better ride, more room, more storage.

I use them both by themselves and together. I really can't tell much difference and I fish jigs all year long.

I don't know what color the pkg is but BPS catalog outlet has about 1000 20# spools for $1.50 @.

Lots of times the early spawning females move out to trees off spawning banks. I've caught some beauties on spooks around cedar tops in 40-50 fow where they suspend and lol away the day. Now if our current weather holds on much longer the spook might not be an option this spring, but I'd still have to try one myself. That would be like fishing in March without a jerk bait.

I'd want something for: spinnerbaits zara spooks crankbaits jigs trigged plastics

I don't sleep well before any fishing tournament or not. I once fished 34 days straight while on an extended vacation. I thought I was gonna die before I got home and had a good night's sleep.

Take out what ever you have to in order to be able to get a good look at your hoses and pumps. But before you do that check the fittings where the hoses go out of the boat. It could be a silicone failure and water coming in around the hose fitting at the transom or side.

G you better add some heat stabilizer in your order.

Champion 206 Opti 225@ 4000 rps gives me the best gallon per hour according to my smart craft gauge.

Is it a one piece, 2 piece, pour, or injection?

I used to run a 16' semi V with a 9.9. I'm thinking no trolling motor I have ever seen would push as fast as the 9.9 did.

I have the IMX MBR in 844C and 843C. I use the 843C for jigs up to 1/8 to 3/8 oz and 844C for 1/2 to 1 oz. The 844C is way too stiff for my liking on anything under 1/2.

G if possible get the rods in your hand and decide. I had a 7' MH for one of my plastic applications. It was like a pool cue. I finally found a guy in San Fransisco who had the next down 6.5" M and we did a trade. I love the one I now have.

G, Matt is correct with his rod statement. I have 2 name brand spinning rods both of which are MF 6.5' and they aren't even close to being the same. So the brand can make a big difference.
