  1. We are having some of that stuff here.
  2. I use both depending on what I want. I try to carry 10-12 of each. I can throw as light as 3/32 oz on one bc setup and do part of the time. There are techniques that make a bait caster inadequate, one example, in late winter bass sometimes can be on the first or second ledge on a bluff. Bait casters tend to swing the bait away from the bank and many times miss that first ledge. With spinning the bail can be left open and the bait will fall almost vertical.

    We only used last names for friends, not nick names which probably came from sports. My mom called me Buzzard but never explained why. Maybe I should have bathed more often.?
  4. I bought a John Deere 4 wheel drive diesel tractor which I only use maybe once a year. That must have been the day that I awoke to find myself mad at my money.
  5. I had power poles. They were nearly worthless to me. Most of the time my boat is over deeper water than the length of the poles. I now have a trolling motor with spot lock. It is lots better. Spot lock jog is the best thing that I have ever seen on a trolling motor.
  6. Only an anvil would hold up in those conditions and it would rust.
  7. Google Bow to Stern. I have used it for years and never waxed the boat.
  8. I could but it would be counter productive. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spots frequent the same water on Table Rock and Stockton where I mostly fish. It is common to see all three on a point or cove.
  9. Never had any. I’ll try some when it gets hot cause I hate straight water.
  10. I say no. I catch fish on brush hogs, stick bait, TRDs, etc that look nothing like what I have seen in the water. However, I have made this bait in many colors and varieties and never had a bite on it.
  11. You might find something at Russell Marine Products in El Dorado, Kansas. I got a good deal on a 360 there.
  12. Devcon 2 ton epoxy is what many bait makers use.
  13. Thanks for the info.
  14. So no one knows.
  15. I put some heads in the mail for you so you can try and see if you want to get that mold.
  16. I didn’t pay enough attention to the link. The regular mold has several cavities from 1/16 to 1/4 oz. Sorry about the link.
  17. I want the 2.5” swing impact, not fat or skinny.
  18. That size is working. I’m wanting to order some but can’t find out how many are in a pack. Do any of you guys know?
  19. I am partial to the Midwest finesse mold. If toy don’t like the keepers a bit of super glue gel and it sticks to anything. I’ve used from #2 to #1/0 in mine. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Do-it_Jig_Mold_Midwest_Finesse_Jigs/descpage-DMMFJ.html
  20. When I bought my Z20 I had been to the Ranger dealer 3 miles down the road. I thought I had a deal made on the Ranger. It didn’t turn out the way I hoped. They held fast on their msrp and offered me 25% below trade value on my Champion. The Nitro dealer was below msrp and gave me $6,000 more for my boat. The Nitro was $21,000 lower than the Ranger.
  21. I don’t normally carry rods in the truck, however, yesterday I met a friend to go fishing in his boat. I had a 6’, 6 1/2’, 7’, and a 7 1/2’ riding shotgun and it was fine.
  22. Thank you. My wife saw it and insisted that I buy it. Then she said it didn’t look good behind my white truck. I was told to go find a red one.
