Super User Fishing Rhino Posted March 25, 2013 Super User Posted March 25, 2013 Rhino,Try the Buckeye Flick-It jig alot less $$$$$$ about half the cost and they fish the same! I used them in place of the Jackall. The football head seems to work better in the rocks. The problem is the weed guard. In my opinion it's the main problem. It bends easily, and after a few fish, and straightening it, it breaks off. The eye arrangement is definitely better than the Jackall, but because the eye is totally exposed, fine grasses can get hung. It's all a moot point for me. Since they have banned lead in Mass, I'm back to the Jackall. One of my buddies has some jig heads that aren't lead, look good, and are priced right. I'll give them a shot when my Jackall supply is about gone. The Jackalls are about the same price as the Gamakatsu. I've fished all three quite a bit, and though the Gamakatsu is lead, and comparatively expensive, and the Gamakatsu wins hands down. Spring for a three pack of the Gamakatsu Wacky Jig Heads. I think you'll find they are better in any vegetation than the Buckeye Flick It. As an aside, I've used the Flick It in three colors, pumpkin, june bug, and black. I ended up using just black. They are a nice hook, with a nice footall, but the twisted weed guard leaves much to be desired. Quote

Yes the weed guard on the Flik-It are not too good. But what I did to help it was to put super glue on the weed guard and get it good and wet and where the weed guard goes into the head and the wire also and get it good and wet with the super glue and just let it dry and the weed guard is alot more stiff.

basshole8190 Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks! I was thinking about getting a few 10 inch rage tail anaconda, anybody have any experience with them and any tips you are willing to share? try them rage rigged on a swimbait 1/8 oz hook or a luckestrike perfect worm hook 5/0 hook an slow roll it just off the grass or weeds or hop it back and don't be surprised to catch a lot of bass i had tons of luck on them last summer from 9" bass to 6+ lbers Quote
Trailer Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Texas or Carolina rig for me but I'm learning some good stuff on here. Quote
J.Bass Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Thanks! I was thinking about getting a few 10 inch rage tail anaconda, anybody have any experience with them and any tips you are willing to share? I rigged them t-rigged. I caught a 3 1/2 lb Largemouth bass on one in 10 feet of water in the middle summer. They do catch bass. Quote
Blues19 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I throw a T Rig using a bobber stopper to peg the weight. I like the 10" Anaconda because most bites you get are big, however I have caught a fish no longer than the 10" Anaconda on it. I have also caught a fish and found that it had managed to tie the tail in an overhand knot. Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 When I look at bobber stoppers and things to peg the weight online I can't see how they work... If I purchase them are they easy to figure out, from the pictures on BPS and what not I have no idea how to use them or what they are supposed to look like... Quote

You stick your line through the little wire loop then slide the rubber bobber stop on to your line then continue to slide the bobber stop onto your line till the tag end comes out. There is a hole in the center of the bobber stop and without the wire loop you would never be able to get the bobber stop onto the line. Here is a video the good stuff starts a 1:25 1 Quote
