Jig Man

I buy mine in bulk and don't even know the brand. All I know is that with pumpkin seed, melon pepper, black neon, and smoke with a red flake and all of them fat and 4" long I don't need any other tubes. We caught 34 bass today and 33 of them were on m/p and p/s tubes. I get them from BPS and Ztackle.

Get your schematics and take down the part number. Call Shimano America on Monday am with that info, your reel model and size number. Have your credit card handy and they will speed one to you. 1-877-577-0600

I like a beaver as a trailer on my jigs.

I swim twitch, slow roll, burn, hop, pop, and drag them depending on water temp and depth.

I for one am always trying to give them something that they have never seen before that is why I have 96 possible color combinations for jigs.

For your $600 you can pick up a good gps/sonar combo. You won't be sorry for the gps after learning to use it. I hate to go on the water in a boat that doesn't have one.

A pocket? Swag, cut, nitch, nootch, notch depending on colloquiality

I have about 20 or so boxes categorized and labeled.

I've fished a lot of tubes 50' deep. I use a 3/8 oz head because that is as large as my mold will make. If you can't find any, shoot me a pm and we will talk.

As far as I know Eagles do not have the networking option. That has been left out to keep the prices lower than their Lowrance cousins.

You need a cover that is specifically designed for your boat then you won't have that problem.

I use good locking snaps but not snap swivels. I've seen too many of them fail. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_7816____SearchResults

Mostly they are a waste of time. You will paddle yourself crazy trying to stay in the shade which will only happen at noon on a few summer days. My wife bought herself a deck boat a few years ago. That thing was 8' wide and had a bimini top. She like to have driven me crazy when I was trying to fish from it because she kept saying, "Fish the other way so the shade will be better."

You can check the specific gravity with a cheap hydrometer. If you don't own one then you should buy one. When the battery is fully charged it will show 12.7 volts. The load test is usually done free at auto parts stores. You probably should have both done.

My B-I-L was so long legged that he had to put 2 of them together. Then it was too tall so he cut one down and moved the teflon to the new shorter made to fit one and it worked just fine.

I wouldn't buy anything smaller than a charger with 10 amp banks. I had one for several years and was happy with it. I now have a 3 bank 15 am and like it even more.

You can use any of those settings but with the 2 am and heavy use it may take more than a full day to recharge the battery. If you don't own a hydrometer, get one with volt showings not ball floatings. Charge the battery to 12.7 volts.

I have found that stacking too much on the back causes a lot of trouble with too much line coming off and making a nasty bird's nest.

For me it is the side of the boat that makes the choice which is determined by the wind since I fish into the wind. I use spinning on the starboard side and bc on the port when fishing plastics and jigs under 1/2 oz. I get a much better hookset on the starboard with spinning than bc.

Fishing and doing a good job of it takes all the concentration that one can muster without being impaired by alcohol. I'll drink a beer with you but not in the boat.

You probably need to add a little worm die to the melt.

Our lakes have literally thousands of brush piles in them. Some were put in by the COE, some by the MO Conservation Dept and many many illegally put in by individuals. I find 'um I fish 'um.
