Jig Man

I keep my line in the box that came with it. I don’t need to tape it.

I think it would count as a half.

If that ever happened to me there would be a scene at the weigh-in. Along with a call to the DNR.

Our tournaments have to register and get a permit. The state has a site where you can pick a year, month, and lake. It shows launch site, date and time. I check that then plan as far away from them as I can get so they won’t be in my way. I’ve never been on a spot and had tournament anglers want it or cut me off. The lakes that I fish are between 26,000 acres with hundreds of miles of shoreline and 50,000 acres with close to 1000 miles of shoreline.

I have at least 30 Shimano reels. Some are over 20 years old. A little bearing oil and gear grease when needed keeps them going just fine. They aren’t as smooth as the ones I bought a couple of weeks ago but they cast and wind the way they are supposed to. Maybe you should just use them. If you need a second opinion then send them to me and I will test them for you.

I never take food with me. It’s 03:00 now. I’ll be leaving at 04:00 to go to Beaver Lake in NW AR smallmouth fishing. I will eat a big breakfast before I leave and take a cup of coffee with me for the hour and a half drive as well as a bottle of water. After all I am going fishing not to a picnic.

I use auto pilot a lot. I think I have used about all of the features that my MK has. In some instances follow the contour is very useful.

I drive an hour and a half each week to fish for smallmouth in NW AR.

These work well for me. https://mudhole.com/products/fuji-ez-keeper-ii?_pos=4&_sid=8532ea26f&_ss=r

Strong storms blew down limbs. I cleaned up my 90 year old neighbor’s yard. I have a trailer load of limbs to haul off tomorrow. Then watch the neighborhood kids shoot fireworks tomorrow night.

I make my own out of lead alloys.

It is cut around the hole.

I use the same rods for cranks that I do for shaky, 7’6”m square bills, RK and warts.

Mine is under the carpet. If you pad your deck you could probably have flush mount without the router.

I fish highland reservoirs with lots of rocks and wood. I fish Ned and shaky a lot. I carry several different weights of heads and use the lightest one possible for the situation which lessens hangups. I also rig them as weedless as possible.

I use only one knot for all lines it is called a Pitzen.

I didn’t start until my mid thirties. I lived 2 miles from the club and practiced or played every day from the time I got off work until dark. I was totally obsessed with it until I had to have knee surgery which put an end to it. I never got real good before I had to give it up but I was lucky enough to make a hole in one three times. It sure was a lot cheaper than fishing.

My trolling motor just stopped the other day crossing a cove. It turned out to be the circuit breaker. I put in a heavier one and have had no more trouble.

I make my own and use a variety of hooks, Gamakatsu, Mustad, VMC, Victory, and Eagle Claw. All of them work for me. I have noted that Mustad has gone down some in quality and Eagle Claw has greatly improved lately.

I use my H rods for A rigs and heavy C rigs. MH for lots of stuff.

Too many ways to enumerate here. I will give you one example: Set the unit on side scan and record. Drive slowly down an area recording. Move out to a good location and play the recording. As good looking cover shows up mark with waypoints. Then pull up the mapping and go fish the waypoints.

Jig trailer, Trig and Crig are how I use them.

The little hole in the wall C store where I get boat gas has 4 isles, 1 for snacks and 3 for booze as well a coolers at the end of the isles and a wall of cold alcholic drinks. The whole wall behind the cash register is devoted to tobacco. Right smack dab in red neck country.

A respitator is not a bad idea for your age but that is not all you need. Do you have the necessary stuff to make plastics?

I don’t know of anything like you want. Why do you want to pull the seat and drop it to the deck?
