jack1 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 If it was me, in my situation I would spend it on good terminal tackle and plastics. I bought tons of hard bait lures and I hardy ever use them. I go through tons of plastics. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted December 25, 2008 Super User Posted December 25, 2008 On that list Iwould hold off on the tungsten weights and evolution jigs? Until you are real good with either of these baits you will see no benefit from them other than high dollar bragging rights. Buy some cheap jigs in solid black and whatever soft plastic color you feel confident in with matching trailers. You are going to lose a lot of jigs in the learning process so it is better to have 6 $1 jigs than 1 $6 jig. Allen Quote

I with out a doubt better at Texas rigs, but still not good enough for tungsten, don't wanna lose 'em! And I have yet to get my first fish on a jig. That will also save be about $15 over all!! Plenty for some jig trailers or what ever! Quote
