We all know how fast a TW wish list adds up- have you ever tried to shop on a musky site for baits? Sheesh.

Eh- I've been throwing my bass lures since early April...

I like the Zako but if I have to pick one I'm going with the rage menace. I'm not falling for the vertical rigging mumbo jumbo either... rig it like you would a normal double tail.

Thicker braid will help reduce backlashes and digging. I was not all that enthralled with the Tatula CT reel, but it should perform substantially better than the CC80 (I did use the CR80 reel and was pretty impressed with that one for the price though). Go to the big auction site for your reels, I got a Tatula SV brand new for just a few dollars more than you paid for the CT- casting ease and distance between those two is night and day...

So that’s your opinion but it’s definitely correct?

The backwaters of the Mississippi are currently filled with HUGE trees that are half eaten at the stump by beavers. It's unnerving at times....

Kind of like you're doing now? I know some respectable members here that subscribe to the red hook theory. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but I don't see how this would be any different? Is @A-Jay wasting his time putting on some red hooks? Niggemeyer had an article about it in his forum too, didn't he? You're sounding a little high and mighty here imo....

That’s cool- I tend to stick mostly to SJF myself

If you pair it with the right trailer, the "Alabama Shake" isn't a necessary action for successful swim jig fishing. I probably catch 75% of my fish swimming a jig and I really never do much besides cast and reel....

Been throwing a small jig on a baitcaster for years.... no need for new fancy acronyms...

No bashing, just really specific questions...

This thread screams bassfisher0517

Absolutely do not boil your jigs....

A Berkley flat worm on a drop shot rig? That's a new one, I'll have to give it a shot!

Thank you that is helpful

I have a 6'9" abu garcia vendetta casting rod that I need to replace the top guide on. I found a comparable tip to order but how do i know what size eye to get or what the tube size is?

A jig is a jig- you can fish them 10 different ways but it's the same lure!

Soooo... you use a jig then?

Is that you 517!? I see pro's all the time rig swimbaits that have eyes on them to a swimbait head that also has eyes on it. I won't do it, but it must work okay..

Daiwa Power Pro Strike King I've moved to Siebert Jigs but New-Tech makes some awesome jigs as well...

Tatula Elite is an incredible reel..... I had my hands on the Tatula SV (Slightly less expansive) and a Chronarch MGL (slightly more expensive) over the winter, but they don't compare...

Easily... fish it at any speed, anywhere in the water column, any season. You wanna cast and reel- pick up a jig. You wanna drag something slowly along the bottom- yup, Jig...

Nothing wrong with the same lures, unless you prefer to mix it up a bit. I've seen people on here say, some days they just won't want a jig..... Are you sure? Every week I wait for Bassmaster to publish the article of "top baits" for the previous weeks tournament- maybe it wasn't the winning bait, but there's always someone who did pretty good on a jig- ALWAYS.

Siebert Dredge Brush 1/4 oz is my do-everything jig

Not necessarily opposed, but if they can make it work today why not every day
