Jig Man

I’ve noticed the same thing with other brands. Last month I wanted a light weight St Croix rod. They didn’t have it but would order it and charge me $20 to ship it 12 miles. I ordered it from St. Croix for $10 less than bps and had it shipped several hundred miles for $10. It seems to me that they really only want to stock their own products.

I had the same issue. It was treated with NSAIDS for a few years then permanently fixed with carpal tunnel surgery.

Two questions: What pound test lines are you using? What is your drag setting?

Try Llebroc. I used to have them make mine.

Super bowl for sure as I don’t follow baseball.

A few years ago a friend of mine made this mold. He wasn’t trying to copy the Guido bug but wound up pretty close.

Been using it for a long time.

As soon as AGMs became available I switched and will never go back to lead acid. AGMs don’t have to be placed like lead acid as they don’t leak. You can get creative in the arrangement.

I’ll have to go with my KC Chiefs. Andy, Patrick, and Travis are a heck of a core.

What A-Jay said. That’s the only way to go.

I’ve used sawdust and glue but not for a place that bad. Go with DVT. His recommendation is good.

Anything Elaztech rigged shaky has been the best for me for the last several years.

I assume that the acetone remark was for Elaztech. I tried it. It didn’t work.

Was this below Bull Shoals Dam, below Table Rock or below Beaver?

Nice browns there bud. Looks like multiple days. Guided or not? What part of the White River?

Yes with the exception of Elaztech. I’m not sure what that stuff is. I’ve not found anything that will mend it.

Suspended bass are what we are catching right now. We had 40 last trip and 30 the trip before that. They have been from 20’ and deeper over 50-70’ of water. The most productive way for us has been using Keitech swim baits on 1/4 and 3/8 oz heads. There is no rhyme or reason to just what will work. Sometimes they want a 3.3 and sometimes a 3.8. Typically a count down then slow retrieve, stop, count down, repeat until something works. Early the other day a 1/4 and 3.3 down 10 seconds then retrieve worked with a white one. Later it took a 3.8 baby bass magic on 3/8 head and a 20 second countdown to get a bite. You just need several setups and be willing to change your retrieve.

I just bought some Graphene tire shine. I’ll see how it works.

Here you go. I never go to Springfield without dropping by. https://stores.basspro.com/us/mo/springfield/2011-s-campbell-avenue.html?y_source=1_NTk0Mjg5MS03MTUtbG9jYXRpb24ud2Vic2l0ZQ%3D%3D

I used to but now I have a cooler of ice water in the boat and an Endura cloth. I dunk it, squeeze out the excess and wrap it around my neck. That is all of the cooling off that I need.

I had one of those welders. It’s a glorified soldering iron just waiting to burn you or melt carpet if you use it in the boat. Mend-It is so much better for me. When my Mend-It runs low, I’ll just get a can of the pvc glue and refill the Mend-It bottle. I’m mending Keitech swim baits all the time.

I use the Troker swim jig mold. I use a 4/0 hook.

What I have looks good but like I said it doesn’t last. I don’t want to reapply every trip or every other trip. I keep Bow to Stern on the boat so usually a wipe down with a wet rag keeps it clean. Five minutes does the job. If I could just get the tires to stay shiny.

I didn’t even know that there was a fluorocarbon leader line. I just take mine off the spool of whatever size I want.

I use that on seats but haven’t on tires.
