Jermination

queen tackle ls tungsten head. 2/0 fits them perfect.

beast coast blade runner is tough to beat. really shines on both ends of the spectrum--really cold/really hot. Zman Chattershad is also really solid. Biggest thing about a bladed jig in cold water for me is how you fish it. slow pumping, yoyo, fishing it with your rod are all ways ive described how i fish it with success. bottom contact is always key for me in the winter, despite how much of a nervous wreck it can make you slow rolling a 18 dollar bait lol

trade them in to the electronic shop on your new upgrade, will at least cover install + some of the new stuff. i had a busted lower unit on my old ghost, traded that in along with the rite hite and took off around 1600 bucks on the new garmin

3.5 inch zman jerkshad does really well on these & the baby jack

did you ever find anyone to go with or get on them? douglas is the best lake around for numbers of fish. you really do not need anything other than a jerkbait, shaky head, keitech, lipless, or bladed jig from february-december. go somewhere else in january, it aint good lol couple pics from up there, im sure you recognize the guy on the far right

sir melton hill is full of dinks that smother out the big ones. I think the size of fish in that lake is due more to TVA constantly running 50 degree water out of norris, but some harvesting would do that place a lot of good

paraphrasing here but i remember hearing something along the lines of "not much better than a 15 inch brownie" 🤣

Absolute magician! Many thanks

ive been around since 2018, my old account was tied to an email that no longer exists hence the 2.0 lol i certainly enjoy reading their posts--i was really picking on @TnRiver46 more than trying to get in a big brown fish contest with @A-Jay

as do the 6 1/2s northern smallies are almost like a completely different species compared to the ones here in the south

hard to beat a green pumpkin hula stick on a 3/16 berkley fusion shakey head, year round lol

how do you keep the turds from melting together? ive wasted a fair amount of money trying to store those things in ANYTHING other than the regular bag lol

LOL i'm talking about when you're standing on the front of the boat and get the feet tingles!

I'm sure most of you have seen the Rams little trick to keep their feet warm at soldier field sprinkling some cayenne pepper in their socks. Rumor is that it certainly helps, this one was new to me and going to give it a shot really soon. What are some other things you guys have tried? Personally i've covered my feet in vaseline then wrapped with a grocery bag, seemed to work pretty well and my feet never got that cold wet clammy feeling.

Same. requires both hands and all your toes! just stick with the good ole trusty double uni knot that takes about 20 seconds to tie. i think it's been pretty well proven over the last 2-3 years length of leader is overrated. only time i ever need a leader longer than 3-4 feet is if i'm fishing a moving river and want my light ned rig to actually make it to bottom. i do have a buddy, maybe 2 that throw braid on everything and tie big long FG leaders. if i throw braid on treble hooks there are going to be some lipless fish running around
