I guess the coaches do not have a clue, maybe some of you football guys can give them a call and let them know how stupid they are, maybe give them a few pointers.

Re: Jig - Soft Plastic vs Hand Tie/Marabou style SenkoSam 1 hour ago
Quote
I just never liked when the plastic slid down or got kinked up and I was too lazy to superglue and didn’t like the way baits looked on screw lock heads. Never could get them straight enough to please me!


Glue is messy and ruins soft plastics for reuse. No one to my knowledge has ever used the following method to hold plastics on jigs no matter how many fish caught, though I've posted it many times on many forums over many years. Here goes:

1. 24g floral arrangement wire (sold everywhere)
2. line up the piece of cut wire as shown
3. wrap once around post under line tie
4. clip one side close
5. bend wire as shown into an L shape which swings into and out of the lure
6. rig the soft plastic and swing the wire into it. Zero damage when lure is removed. Plus the lure stays straight at all times.

Also works when using trailers on skirted bass jigs except differently.
Steps:

Grub Grip in use:

Note: For the least damage to plastics,I order collarless jigs on Ebay. When I can't get jigs without a collar, I squash the collar with pliers and use a box cutter to remove it.

When it comes to soft plastics, there are too many to count that catch fish of any species and size. The huge number of combinations of size, shape, action and color keep me from getting bored especially - after using hair and/or feathers.

Do a search on my user name for all the examples I've posted on TFF.com - most of which I've designed myself that anyone can copy using only a blade and a candle.

$175 each without mounts. The two that come with the weight retrievers are $185 each. I have one standard mount and 2 swivel mounts that I would sell for $20 each. I'll throw in some spare parts for free including a spare handle if you buy all 4. They are in good condition and work perfectly.

Most likely Bob was at work. We had an alert at the university and were told to shelter in place. I was not on campus today, but still got the email and text.


Yes. Corporate office at work.

Re: Z man TRD wont take weight avid_basser 1 hour ago
What I had to do was take my hook sharpening file and put a point on the screw end. This allowed me to thread it on.

But after doing this a time or two, I simply gave up, and moved to a head with a different style of keeper.

Nothing wrong with what you're doing. If the Cal/Mag is Nitrate be careful with it. It can be a little spicy as all nitrates can be. Tip. Add a pinch of citric acid to your hand cannon waterings.

Avoid any roofer that promises a BGE or a guided fishing trip along with a contract.
