im leaving for the boundry waters tomarrow. hope to catch some smallmouth and pike. this is gonna be different from the Loomis's and Stradics; now its ugly sticks and Diawa 1600 SS, theres nothing wrong with that reel AT ALL(except the anti-reverse squeaks). ttyl Willie525

i think gamakatsu makes one of those hooks.GAMAKATSU EWG HEAVY WIRE JIG HOOKS i dont know id youd thinks its heavy enough though
-
ive got the shakey head mold. i want to put a hook like Zappu uses in it, i wonder if that Vanfook hook thing sells jig hooks?
-
anyone tried to make a regular roundhead jig mold into a flick shake mold that uses a hook similar to the ones used by Zappu? i know theyre made out of tungsten but i dont think i could get the lead pot to 3000 degrese. thanks Willie525

use power pro. ive never had any trouble out of it. but if youre fsihing high pressure id use a 3 foot leader of 15 pound invisx. but if you could go without the braid id got to flourocarbon(Seagaur, Trilene 100% dont get vanish it sucks) or a GOOD mono or co-polymer(most p-lines, sunline stuff like that, premium). i can tell someone gonna not agree with me, but you dont really need braid around here except one lake where you might lose a buzzbait via muskie. there really isnt a reason for braided lines here so ive just messed around with 30 PP and 65 PP

why dont they spam a hippie forum where the people there care

they should make a canal in those big salt flats in Utah and see how fast it will really go. or take it to the great lakes

the only problem with Shimano is when they redesigned the curado they dont carry replacement parts. ive got one that a friend gave to me that has a little plastic part that holds in the gear that turns the spool is worn out and i need a new one...

the whole hull is the gas tank

my favorite reel hands down are the old curado SF 200. the older the better. ive got one on a Powell 763 ML and i can throw a Luhr Jensen 3/4 Hot Lips 150 feet easy with 10 pound evolution. im sure you could find some pretty cheap ones one Ebay

Who makes the best Jig head you ever used and why.
willie525 replied to IGETBIT2's topic in Wire Baits
mine, i dont make many so theyre all custom and hand crafted. Mustad hooks, Stan Sloan powder paint, Fluid bed painted, and made with a custom skirt. -
vibration, flash, wire diameter, hook, head design, and the ability to catch fish without breaking
-
ok you will probably laugh but if you set the hook like me and people think youre going to break your arm when you do it, thats a good way to fish a football head. people will hop and "rip" a jig but i do so violently that for the first few minutes my dad asked me if i had one every hop.

dont lucky crafts come with daiichis on them?
-
ive never done anything with daiichi so i dont know. theyre pretty good hooks about as sharp as an ultra point
-
no its kamasan, theyre some hooks my dads friend gave to him that were custom made. they have a website, but i think they just sell fly hooks now.
-
found some and molded some tube heads with them, poured well. has anyone else tried them? the work in the do-it shakey head mold (imo) than the mustads 3/0 in the 1/16. it seems you can bend them farther than the mustads because they break. feedback please Willie 525
-
mustad ultra points, imo lazer sharps are pretty good too.
-
do-its are alluminum so i wouldnt try it
-
i fish for whatever bites:P ussually bass or walleye(and catch two and like 50 bass seriously) in tennessee and make my own jigs and stuff like that.

we bought the strait eye but are gonna cut a groove to make it a flat eye

if the elevation is above 990 flip the willows and buckbrush for spawning and prespawn. if its low fish secondary points in creeks with a carolina rig with a lizard or crawdad. start shallow and work out to ten to fifteen feet of water you can got tva.com to find lake info
