Completely understand, fellow Minnesotan...

This is serial killer behavior, and I mean that in the nicest way possible...

I'm having trouble following this. Who said you shouldn't drag a texas rig in the winter? Who said ned rigs or flukes wouldn't work in the winter? No soft jerkbaits? It's -10 here today but if it was like 40 and I was going fishing, I'd be taking 4 poles and 3 of them would probably be a T-Rig, Ned, and soft jerkbait....

It's constant man...I swear I do 2-3 loads a day and keep falling farther behind. Towels, OMG so many of them!!

My wife is currently staying home with our daughter and working a sales gig from there, she's doing pretty well too. Myself? I'm working two full time jobs and do the majority of the cooking, dishes, laundry, etc. She deserves any down time she can get. We have two boys as well. Do you guys have any idea how much laundry a family of 5 with three kids goes through? Unbelievable...

So what's the theory behind the incredibly slow reel for fishing jerkbaits? Not a technique I use but figured you'd want something fast?

Display items or have you used them?

Yes….fishing in current I need fast reels

I trust you

Now we’re getting somewhere yeehaw

There's no way I'm letting a nutbag like that take me on the ocean...

But.... neither of those are smallies?

Lost a fish? No but I’ve had some swipes that may have resulted in hookups if my hooks were better. Not enough to motivate me to change them, but if I was fishing tourneys I’d probably be doing it on select baits.

I think anything xzone in their standard size does. I picked up some standard adrenaline craws and they do the same. I don’t know if it will produce more fish, but it makes me more confident.

Seconded....

Do you throw it on spinning or casting tackle?

What finesse worms do you use and how do you like to rig them?

I'm glad I came across this thread- this looks like a bait I need to try!

Sounds about right based on the 3 packs I've tested.... Outkast perfect ned is the head to use, provided you've got one of the TRD's that floats!

Is a 4.3" Keitech a finesse swimbait?

I always just anticipate getting skunked... that way every fish feels like a bonus..

Why no braid?

If I ever have enough time to myself to find out, I'll let you know!

Do you throw this on casting or spinning gear? The rage craw has been a game changer for me
