Jig Man

I throw 1/2 oz spinner baits, either home made or War Eagle.

I would love to but all of my corn fields have gone away. I use to have 8 nice fields that I could hunt. I hunted every day of the week. One by one the crops changed or the farmers sold out or switched to beef instead of dairy cattle. Now there is only one and so many guys hit it that it is shot out by the second day. So good luck to you. Get a limit.

If you actually have trigger you can get cortisone/lidocaine injections. They sometimes do the trick for a few months then you need a repeat. When they stop working then the knife is the solution. I am rehabbing trigger surgery on three fingers on my right hand. I did the injections for 3 years before they quit working.

Could you firm up the connection by wrapping it with teflon tape?

Adjust it a little tighter on the spool knob. They aren’t all the same. I have 2 Curado DCs, one is by the book while the other needs more adjustment using the same line, same casting plug and matching rods.

That is a Pitzen just doubling the line. I don't double the line. I do 5 wraps no matter the line type or size. The difference between the SD Jam and Pitzen is the loop at the bait, Jam go through Pitzen don’t go through.

Around here bucktail jigs seem to work better than maribou. Some guys prefer craft hair jigs but I only like them for float n fly.

If it were 1 and not one type, I’d want a hard floater so Zara Spook for me. If you mean one type then plastic worms.

What do you mean selling without the pink slip? If you are talking selling without a title, don’t. You will open a big old can of worms.

Seibert, Cadman, Smalljaw or Munkin can probably fix you up.

I Trig them as well as use them as jig trailers.

I don’t, but I have reused old plastic. You have to have bunch so you don’t mix colors. Mixing colors will end up brown.

I use a knot that is similar to the San Diego Jam. It is the Pitzen. It is easy and quick. I use it with all lines. I even tie it with gloves on in the winter.

E7 Curado and 7.4 Curado DC

X2 bend the blade.

Bite the bullet. Take it to a repair shop.

So what’s it called?

I haven’t even considered doing that. I take my boat in every fall have the fluids changed and the motor, boat and trailer inspected. I can’t even remember the last time I had a motor that wouldn’t start.

I just bought a 150 dc from Midway USA. They are in Columbia MO.

I doubt you could cast a 1/8 oz bait with a mh rod and 12# line, no matter what reel you have. I use mh, 12# line, Curado dc for 3/8 oz and 1/2 oz jigs, as well as 3/8 and 1/2 oz buzz and spinner baits.

That speed is perfect for Arigs with 50 to 65# braid.

Me too, Gloomis imx 843c mh wIth a Curado 150 DC and 15# fluorocarbon line.

I bought a spare pin at Bass Pro Service Center when the little ball came out of mine. I back my trailer into parking spots with a tire firmly pressing against one of the concrete parking blocks. I don’t think anyone will be able to get it.

I have a new truck with cameras all over it. There is not a camera view that helps with backing the boat. The side mirrors are the only things that help with this job. However, it is absolutely great for hooking the trailer to the ball.

I have a bunch of vinyl from an old tonneau cover. I cut out 10 bait wraps, took them to a local upholstery shop and they sewed velcro on them. They even provided the velcro and charged me $3 each. I keep them on treble hook baits and all of my rods are in sleeves.
