Re: Getting A Frog Ready To Fish
I tweak the hooks out a little on all my frogs. It doesn't really affect the weedless qualities and I think it increases hookup percentage. Learn from my mistake, have a good pair of pliers and make sure you have a good grip on the hook. I slipped and flattened the barb twice!

Re: Drop Shot Hook
So, does the line that holds the sinker merely clip into the clip portion of the swivel drop shot hook; or, does one tie a knot in the end to prevent it from slipping out of the clip. Same question for the end with the weight. If you are going to use the swivel shot with a lighter line for a droppe...

Re: Drop Shot Hook
X2 on that. Tying 2 knots took longer than with regular drop shot hooks. I bought 2 packs of them and finally just took a pair of wire cutters and cut the ties off and just used the hooks.Mothercanucker wrote:Didn't like the VMC spinshot hooks and now use only Gamakatsu hooks.

Re: Ned Rig
I know this is from another forum, but it has a pretty good explanation for why you should use the zman stuff instead of substitutes.

Re: Using a jig as a drop shot weight?
Not a problem in NY, We are allowed 15 hook points per line.Mattman wrote:Illegal in some areas. Only one lure is allowed in some areas. Using a jig and then another hook/bait up your line constitutes more than one lure.
Check your local regulations.
I know guys that do it, where legal.

Using a jig as a drop shot weight?
Does anybody out there ever try using a jig as a drop shot weight? I rigged one up last season but never got around to trying it. I'd hear about it somewhere but was just wondering if anyone had tried it, and did it work. In a way it sorta makes sense, giving you another opportunity for a bite.

Re: Going to experiment with some new spinnerbait brands
I've been using Li'l Hustler the last couple years and really like them. They also make jigs, bladed jigs and buzzbaits.

Thoughts on Strike King Tour Grade Rage Blade Swim Jig-
Does anyone have any experience with this bait? I have had a fair amount of success fishing bladed jigs in the past couple of years and am always trying something new. Just wondering if these live up to the claims of less hang ups, better hookups, and ability to bounce off cover better than regular ...

Re: Best Dirty Water Chatterbait Trailer
Last season I ran out of the split tail trailers that came with my chatterbait(don't really like them much anyway!) and was looking for something else to try. I happened to have a pack of Pearl Charlie Brewer 3" bass grubs in my bag. Dipped the tail in Chartreuse JJ's Magic and had real good luck wi...

Re: Trailer for Chatterbait?
Charlie Brewer 4" Bass Grub. Sorta found it by mistake. Lost the trailer on my chatterbait and didn't have anymore. Had one pack of these in the right color that had been knocking around in my tackle box and they worked great. Now all I gotta do is buy more.............
