Jig Man

White bass fight harder than smallmouth around here.

There are already too many to choose from Zman and Keitech. It drives me nuts trying to figure out what to order.

Yes but lately a Keitech swim bait has been better than Ned.

Check a small area with acetone. If it doesn’t damage the paint, it will get things squeaky clean.

Custom 7.6’ m rod with a Shimano Curado X70 with 12# fluorocarbon line and a Zman ZinkerZ on a 2/0 vmc ewg hook poured on a modified Midwest finesse mold. Today the heads varied from 1/8 to 1/4 and green pumpkin was the best color.

The sky is the limit for skirts and what you can do. There are lots of places to look for skirts, Janns Netcraft, Lure Parts on Line, Fishing skirts.com, Barlows and many more. I recommend wire tying instead of thread. Floral wire is what I use.

There are a lot of factors to consider in the time you can fish on a single charge. The longer you go without recharging the more damage you will do to your batteries which will shorten their lifetime.

Not enough information!

I have a 2016 Verado on a Nitro Z20. It is a good motor but too heavy for that boat which I didn’t know at the time. I never try to plane any motor until it warms up to at least 120°.

I’ve tried them in place of a spinnerbait without much luck.

Personally I want it on my custom rods. That way there is never a question about where it came from.

I fish it once to be sure that I want it. Then I take it off and put shrink tubing on.

On the cranking battery, be sure it has enough Cold Cranking amps for your motor. On the deep cycle, reserve capacity reflects how long it will provide power to the trolling motor the larger the number the longer it will last.

Fastest one I have personally seen is the one that my old boss had. It was an 18 footer with a 300 hp motor. It ran 105 when properly tuned. He ran it on Table Rock but could only go out right after dawn when the lake was quite and other boats weren’t out yet.

Some batteries don’t last but most do. How you take care of it is very important.

No idea on the truck. I don’t detail mine but have it washed, waxed and hand dried a couple of times a week.

Looks like some sort of eel to me.

That would have been helpful in your original post.

Senkos would not be my first choice. Trigged craws or jigs would go before them. What ever you use a good quality rod kept in the 10-12 O’clock position for maximum feel will help. If you feel anything, drop the rod tip, reel up some slack and set the hook. After all most hook sets are free. You might make some casts, close your eyes and fish. That can simulate night fishing.

I don’t use anything but 12# fluorocarbon on shaky.

I have a butcher block that is 5x6. It sete on top of 2 bathroom vanities. There are 6 drawers and 2 doors on each side. It is close to the boat and close to my bait making station and bait closet.

Yours maybe mine not so much, especially if on a bait with treble hooks.

I never considered them, however my current boat came with them. I’d really hate to have to do without them.

Unless you have heavy line an angle is your best bet, but you don’t need much.
