another site carries them in bubblegum.

I'm cribbing this for my answer to the question posed in your OP. lol

I respect that. All I can taste with ER is wood.

Honestly, it doesn't mean much to me either, aside from the fact that I really love harassing @TnRiver46 about it, and "ned rig", or "kinda like a ned rig" is less of a mouthful for me to stutter through than "plastic on a small hook that I try not to get caught in chunk rock."

Bobby's a good lad.

He's gonna keep making posts like that until I camp out on his front porch like a Shaolin initiate waiting for admission to the temple. Teach me, sifu.

@Texas Flood I've been meaning to try that Xzone plastic. I love their stick worms. If I have to have a weedless presentation, I'm generally not gonna be throwing a ned rig, for which I want the smallest hook I can get away with. I want as much of that plastic swinging free as I can get. My jighead of choice for a garden-variety 2.75" - 3" ned rig plastic is a 1/16oz mushroom head with a #4 hook. Specifically this one from Mule Fishing. Even though it's an open hook, it's surprising what you can work it through if you're careful. And what you can bring into the boat with it.

Tomato, tomahto.

By a long shot, but fishing a bullet-weighted anything in the rivers where I generally catch smallmouth makes for a very frustrating day.

Yo that looks so good.

That…did not go well.

Somebody isn't happy with how much attention she's getting today.

If it makes you feel any better, I can't even stand and fish on land!

Pack it into a sabot and cast it out of a potato gun.

There are days, when I'm really on my game, that I'm able to hit the water with a near 100% success rate.

Do you know how video editing works?

That's my guess.

Those lids are kinda neat.

I couldn't decide between that one and Eagle Rare, but I think I dislike ER more.

@TnRiver46

FWIW, that is my favorite line of rods. I have a TP1B69MLFS with a NASCI 2500 on it that's my problem solver finesse rig. I had a TP1B72MH that I used for jigs and weighted plastics. The tip broke in a weird accident that was 100% my fault, and Lew's still warrantied it for me. I wish I had picked a different rod for the replacement, but that's on me.

This was fun. Can we fight about hook size on the jig heads for this presentation next?

I didn't catch that many last year. Lort.

My favorite soft plastic for veggies is a weightless t-rig.

Provoke 106X in chartreuse pearl, just like it comes out of the package.
