Jig Man

I’ve always been partial to breasts instead of wings myself.?

5 minutes in ketchup wipe with paper towel

I use a vmc 2/0 ewg. My partner uses a 1/0. I use it on a head instead of Trigged.

I don’t like water. My neurologist says 64 oz daily. I probably do 16. I’ll drink about anything else.

I’m not sure that I like these enough to tie one on.

Now they are brown green and orange. That is more what I have been making. I’ve been catching a few on purples. I just haven’t added any brown because they won’t touch my brown jigs right now.

Thanks. It is only 75° in the garage and the lead furnace is on so I’m going to pour up heads and can make some extra for pb&j.

I have everything I need to make them, even can make laminated twin tail grubs. I haven’t tried them yet because I rarely have much success with PJ and J shaky worms or Neds. I don’t want to waste time making and fishing something that doesn’t work. Do any of you guys have good luck with them?

The local trolling motor shop has several good used ones that the have taken in on trade. You might give them a call and see if they have any that interest you. These guys are good and are in the second generation of ownership. If you call them you can tell them that Dayne recommended them. 417-833-9191 ask for Scott or Brad. You could sell yours to defray your expenses.

If you know anything about golf and club head speed you can apply the same principal on the rod handle with your off hand. Speeding up the butt by pulling the handle toward you can really speed up the tip thus generating casting energy.

So do you big eaters have any idea of the number of casts you miss while eating?

I do not take food in the boat. Since my wife is diabetic we have those diabetic protein drinks around so I keep one in the boat and one in the truck incase I need something.

Fishing skirts.com, Barlows, Janns Netcraft, Lure Parts on Line, just to name a few. There are guys on here who pour jigs. What type of heads, what weights and how many are you wanting? Are you wanting them painted or not?

I’ve never used one. I made my own worms until I discovered Elaztech. That is the only worm I use.

I made a bunch of them for night fishing. They work great.

I doubt that many here can tell much difference in the design, construction and performance of today’s bass boats. Lots of people have opinions about different brands. FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Which dealerships are in a reasonable driving distance of you? Does the dealership take service appointments or do you have to drop it off and wait until they get to it. Your boat will have to be going back for service and possibly repairs.

Spend some time reading the manuals of the Ulterra and Helix. They can do lots of things. In the winter I use follow the contour a lot and most every trip spot lock jog comes into play.

Congratulations. You have the best overall aluminum boat on the market. I assume that you have the Ulterra with Ipilot link. What Humminbirds do you have? Are they linked up via Ethernet?

I’ve been going through my stuff and have decided to take jigs, Neds, hula grubs, beavers, baby brush hogs, swim baits, jigging spoons, a few top waters and a couple of glide baits. Now I have to decide how many and which setups to take. Thanks you all of the suggestions.

Black blue is great in crepuscular periods. Junebug not so much.

When I use worms for smallmouth I use Elaztech. I fish them on a vmc 2/0 hook in various weights depending on how deep I need to go.

I’ve never used live worms for smallmouth and don’t know anyone who does. However, many guides on our area lakes use live worms with their clients in the summer fishing for spotted bass. Their worm of choice is night crawlers.

We do that a lot in the winter and early spring. I hadn’t even considered it. Thanks

I’m being invited so I don’t have the wait option. I don’t drop shot so I will be looking for other suggestions.

So is the 20-30’ dropshot the way to go?
