Jig Man

If you can only have one then 1/16 oz if two then 1/32 also.

I use 3 or 4 brands and I paint using a fluid bed. If you want a good deal on some pm cadman. He was selling a bunch a while back. He may have some left.

Molds are running around $40 right now. I think I am down to 14 as I just sold some I no longer use. You are going to need a mold, way to melt lead, lead supply, hooks, weedguard, skirts and paint. $40 $50 $2/lb $.25 each, $.10 each $25 $6 for 2 oz Figuring for your first 100 jigs you would have about $165 plus what ever shipping would cost. After that the cost goes down as volume goes up.

Me too. I don't want to go there any more.

It depends on when, where and how I am going to fish it. If I am just swimming it I'll use a Zoom swim chunk in white. If I am bumping bottom with it at night during the light of the moon I'll use a twin tail in white or blue. If I am using it around submerged brush I want a big old white chunk so I can stop it and let it drop slowly for a foot or so.

Look the boat up in the nadaguides and it will give you a good ball park for the value.

What effect will this have on marine battery warranties?

If you are going to use 4-6 # line the 1000 will be just fine. If you are going larger like 10-12# then the 1000 won't hold enough line.

I never trickle charge anything. I use a 3 bank 15 amp onboard and charge as soon as I get home. When they are charged I unplug them like the mfg (Dual Pro) told me to do. I top them off before I head to the lake or if not fishing because of weather, every 2 weeks.

I always try something different. One of my best nights last summer was using a red jig with a white trailer. You never know what will trigger fish on any given trip.

All I am going by is what I read on the Texas Fishing Forum. Those guys were all about Wally World until a month or so ago and now they are howling that there is no warranty. Personally, I have never owned one. I called all around here and no store had any deep cycles in stock.

I use a leader in clear water with slow baits because I got a good butt waxin' one day by people I normally beat. They were using mono and I was using braid with no leader.

That is a pretty good rod. I have several of them myself. I have Curados on mine. I'd put the Citica on it.

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.
