Super User Fishing Rhino Posted January 19, 2012 Super User Posted January 19, 2012 We are gonna change that this year. Jiggy that won't be a problem flipping but might be if you plan to swim the jig. I do have braid on some of my spinning reels, and all of my baitcasters. But, I use a fluoro leader because the braid and rocks do not play nice together. My four and six pound test InvisX stand up to the rocks in Devol better than fifteen pound braid. Quote

We'll get you flippin' into some trees on the Merrimack and you'll get rid of that 6lb mono quick enough. This jig will be perfect. Quote

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Super User Posted January 19, 2012 I was hoping to try it out before the spring, but our waters finally iced over...Oh well It's built like an inline spinner with a t-rigged trailer, I can't see anything that would torque it over, but you may be right, I can always tie in a solid brass bead up at the offset of the hook to give it a keel affect. It won't be the greatest in rocks, that's for sure. Thanks for noticing that gramps. Quote
grampa1114 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Jiggy, I just reread your design and really like it. I think that the use of the jig will dictate the trailer type and control the rolling. If you are flipping with a craw or pork trailer then spinning is irrelevant. If you are swimming the jig then the use of a frog type trailer will stabilize spinning. In either case though, I would use a screw lock with a slightly opened wide gap hook. Great job sir,,,you've done well. Grampa Quote
