Favorite Ned rig jig heads.
I’ve tried most of the styles out there. I have bought my own mold and use the Victory hooks for an ewg weedless Ned rig. No glue is needed and it comes through stuff that other styles just can’t. BRB check your pm.

Victory hook #10777
I didn’t even contact Shorty’s because I don’t need a 1000 of that hook.

Victory hook #10777
6317 BN is the hook number. I got mine from Zeiner’s in Wichita KS. You don’t have to have a Midwest finesse ewg mold. You can modify most any mold. It just has to be ground down to where the hook fits before the bend. I used my old Midwest finesse mold and had a guy at a machine shop grind it. I didn’t want the keepers and wasn’t sure how the hook eye would fit so I used high temp silicone to fill in some voids.

Are ceramic bearing in a reel an upgrade I wanna do?
I sent several reels to a guy to be cleaned, super tuned and install ceramic bearings. I didn’t see much difference. I’d just put good abec bearings in.

I hope none as I hope we don’t get iced over here in MO.

my kayak knives.
Those look like they would get the job done. I don’t have those kinds of knives but I keep a folding knife and a fillet knife in the boat and carry my Uncle Henry Rancher and a Swiss army knife all the time.

I watched it as soon as it came out on Paramount +. I’m not a big TC fan but the movie was good.

Oil Change
Well I’m doing great. Nitro took my boat into the factory and a bunch of glass work which they covered under warranty. It came back during the cold spell. It is warming and the wind is supposed to drop so I have everything ready for a trip to the lake tomorrow. I haven’t been in the boat since early October.

Table Rock guide suggestions
Eric Prey would be a good choice or Pete Wenners. They both put out frequent reports and you can look them up and maybe follow them. If you should decide to try Bull Shoals, I recommend Buster Loving. Have you ever been to this area before?

How to clean breaks on Casitas?
That sure looks like centrifugal brakes to me. The way I clean them is take a clean dry Qtip and wipe the drum. Then put a little Shimane oil on a Qtip and wipe the drum. How many of the brakes do you have set to engage the drum? You may want to experiment with that.

Q: Is it OK to leave flexible plastic baits out in the air for months +?
Once I rig them they stay on until I lose them no matter what season.

What technique should be your best rod
90% of my fishing time is spent fishing on or near the bottom. My 6 best setups are for bottom contact Some of them do double duty but each of them has a specific bottom contact job.
