I fish a lot of jigs as well. Have you ever thought of buying jigheads and adding skirts? I just broke down and bought the JDM Metanium MGL HG. the JDM spool is more shallow than the US version. Going to put braid on that and buy a deeper spool from Shimano USA. I also received some used topwater lures from an Ebay seller in Japan. Megabass Anthrax and Pop-x 4 Quote

Got all the stuff to make my own but could never find a jig head that I liked. Now that TW jacked up the price on my ATs I may have to start looking at that option again! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 14, 2017 Global Moderator Posted January 14, 2017 Stopped at a DSG checking on their Pitboss supply. Struck out on those but they had a bunch of stuff on clearance. Bought my first Pop Max ever in White Python, a Spro Rat 30, a Megabass Flap Slap, and a KVD 300 jerkbait, all on clearance. 5 Quote

I have never seen the Spro Rat on sale before. I'll have to check at my DSG. Quote

Super User MassYak85 Posted January 14, 2017 Super User Posted January 14, 2017 Got some 65lb 832 for topwater swimbaits at Bass Pro and a berkley line counter (should help cut spools evenly and eliminate wasted line) since I had a BPS gift card. Now I just need a spare Cardiff spool to put the braid on. Quote

I would love something like that, but we used to have a line counter at work for aircraft cable and never found one that worked well or for long and I guess I assumed a counter for smaller line has to be fussier.

I used it to spool up some 40lb braid and while I can't verify how accurate it is, I had roughly half a 150yd (450 feet) spool left and it measured out about 240 feet of line. I did have to tighten it down pretty good in order for the mechanism to clamp onto the braid, but from what I can tell it did pretty well. Quote

I even use them on Horny Toads, although they are a bit finicky & it takes a bit more effort to get em to fit on the body. But they work & fit perfectly on the Ribbit Frog. 2 Quote
