Jig Man

I throw them every trip. We caught 33 bass on them yesterday at Table Rock. It isn’t unusual to lose a half dozen each trip because of where I fish and the fact that I don’t go after a hung up bait. Any time I get a good deal I stock up. When our Lew’s store closed I bought their entire stock.

I started getting it about 10 years ago. It was really bad for a while. I was told to drink at least 1/2 gallon of extra water daily. I have a prescribed med, Meclizine, which I am to take if it lasts over 10 minutes. Lately it comes an goes. When it hits it happens every day for several days in a row, then it’s gone for a while.

Who was able to get me a deal on ZinkerZs. So I stocked up.

There is a gasoline sub station a few miles from my house. I pass it on the way to the lake. There are always lots of tankers lined up to fill. The trucks are labeled with all kinds of brands.

I like musicals. If you are ever near Amarillo TX in the summer you should see the musical that’s put on in the Palo Dura Canyon.

For me Mustad has become the low end since they outsource to China now. Eagle Claw has made some major improvements in the last few years.

If you are looking for a long range solution check out Milky Spore disease. I have it all over my yard and only get moles around the edges, that’s where I usr the Motomco.

I’ve seen that more on Mustad than EC lately.

I use Motomco poison worms. https://www.google.com/search?q=motomco+mole+killer&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS855US855&oq=motomco&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j46i199i465i512j0i512l4.6195j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=EdXErZFOfeU40M

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. That is why I carry several Ned setups and have a variety of baits tied on to see which works best today.

I don’t have a kayak but I spent $3500 on power poles when I bought a new boat. About the only time I used them was to anchor for lunch in the back of a cove as I am seldom shallow enough for them to work. They now live in Houston Texas.

Old Indian saying, “Keepum bait in water”.

When I go deep (over 30’) it is with a jig or spoon. I’m normally fishing points, bluffs or bluff ends. Spoons I vertical jig at what ever depth I want. With jigs I like to have the boat in 50’ of water casting to more shallow and working it back. The under 30’ depths get jigs, shaky, tubes or Trigs.

My boat came with one and a storage slot by the live wells. Before that I had one that I made from a 1x6. I used a dado blade and cut a slot for a section of a yard stick (18”). Then I put an end stop on it. It lived under my console by my feet.

I’d be looking at a permanent solution like boxing in the ceiling and be done with it. That’s what I had to do to keep robins from nesting in the curve of my down spouts.

I recently sold a rod to a guy in Alabama. I had a pvc tube to put it in. I packed it up and went to the UPS store expecting to pay around $40 for shipping. They measured it and weighed it then told me that shipping would be $248.00. I ran screaming from the store. I drove to the USPS office where I got it shipped, including extra insurance, for $32.00. Is this a normal thing with UPS being so expensive?

Agree totally. Sometimes I have to cut mine off with a knife. I did have a guest who was having that trouble. It turned out that he was putting too much Super Glue Gel on the TRD. A Very tiny drop spread around then pressed to the head is all that I use even with ZinkerZs.

Is the white grease lithium?

I only am concerned with whether or not there is salt on a trailer or near. Otherwise I just put them away.

I don’t know your unit so I can’t comment on the clarity. I have had a lot of experience with modern electronics and how much juice they use. You probably need a much bigger cranking battery or a house battery strictly for electronics in order to stop the low voltage shut down.

Only way I remember is one of my customers was big on them back when I sold boats and that was 20.

I have no personal experience but I read on a Texas forum a few years ago where a guy did a personal study on it with his vehicles. His conclusion was a loss of power and mileage that didn’t compensate for the lower price.

It was over 20 years ago around here.

Have you tried down sizing them. I cut mine to 640x640 so they load fast.

I fish the north central part of Table Rock lake up in the river where the water is dingy and the bass don’t go deep. The southern end is over 50 miles by water so I don’t go there.
