How to fish it where to fish it and techniques any help from those Japanese tackle lovers .Raul, T ring micro a.k.a . roland.

Man, I just have a couple Jrs and haven't fished them yet.  

Where would you throw them have any 'idea'.?

here you go man.  just watch the video and you'll get some ideas about this and other jackall baits as well.  basically though, you can fish this bait in a variety of places and ways.  don't listen to us.  experiment and let the fish tell you how they want it.  that's what matters.

Watched it and what i have gathered a slow retrieve would be optimal.

Hold it my friend, just because you see somebody reeling in steadily at X speed doesn 't mean it 's the one and only way to fish the bait.

You know how to fish jerkbaits don 't you ?

You know how to fish cranks don 't you ?,

You know how to fish topwaters don 't you ?

You have to experiment different types of retrieval alone or in combination until you find the one who makes the fish bite the bait, that 's it, no "secrets" . I get more bites with that bait just by letting sit there and twitching it ocassionaly than by reeling it in steadily.

Does the Mikey sink or float?

It floats.

Its a wake bait.  Fish it over shallow emerging grass, points, humps etc.

Same place you would fish all the techniques Raul mentioned.

Thats the nice thing about the floating baits.  Just a bit easier to retrieve when they break off...

You can also get a 160 version of the Mikey.

daniel you are the man!  is there any bait you don't know about? ;D

Don 't get carried away too much with what Daniel says, the only version you can find in the States is the floating version ( reason why I didn 't mention the other versions ) cuz you guys apperently aren 't much into ordering stuff outside the US market.

My friend Daniel and meself belong to another kind of victims, ooops, sorry I meant "customers"   , we belong to the kind of customers who had blown their last funcional brain cell a long time ago when we purchased our first JDM bait and don 't give a rat 's arse if the product has to travel thousands of miles and pay exhorbitant shipping charges.

Now, you seem like a good guy Paul, I can feel that you are just about ripe to follow me and Daniel down that road, since you are a good guy we 'll be happy to welcome you into the group.  

thanks for the welcome buddy.  i'm pretty sure i went off the deep end myself when i bought that tru tungsten bluegill.  never dreamed i'd be buying baits for what i used to spend on a rod or reel.  there's probably no turning back now.  at least i'm among friends. ;D

How will it be in September time it is getting into the low 20's celcuis.

Don 't worry about the air temps, take a look at the water temp, those are more important than the air temp.

You do mean a thermometer, a barometer measure atmospheric pressure I believe. Both may do some good though.
