Straight shank hooks with baitholders have increased my hook-up percentage greatly over EWG's, which were not designed for a DS in the 1st place. The hook point becomes exposed much easier when a fish bites which is rule #1 with any hook or rig. Gotta use the right and best tool for the job.
The Hack is such a smooth operator at this technique. I've been on a crazy Jig bite here in central Alabama. It's September. One thing I wanted him to discuss was which way to swing when the fish has the Jig in his mouth. I noticed if you oppose the fish's direction the jig is less likely to hook the fish. I wanted to hear about his experience on this. Awesome video. Gleans confidence.
I used these with the Team Catfish weight slides to make a ru-vid.comUgkxdmsDj7fQXe77DC0l7P7ua8B3PiESUubM Carolina rig and they were perfect for the ponds I fish. I have also used them to make 3 way rigs and these work perfectly. Haven't had any issues with them snagging in rocks or in weeds yet.
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ru-vid.comUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well ru-vid.comUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
Those weed killers have destroyed the eco system in many lakes in RI, MA and CT. Year after year the treatments have caused bacteria’s. The lakes are dead.
I do a combined slack line and pick up the line hookset, I feel the weight drop down take 2 or 3 cranks and snap on him and any fish that's put my jig in their mouth I've hooked some come off because that's the sport but for example, I hooked a double digit bass on a bitsy jig and the jig was stuck in the roof of the mouth remember it's a big fish so it can and did throw the hook bc it straightened had I tied on a ballin out or a archy style head with a 4/0 hook he would be blistered to this day
I run the Fury 4 blade on my Ranger Z520.....love it! Just as you said, great hole shot when heavy loaded and rough water handling is much better than the same pitch 3 blade Fury.....top end only slower by 1 mph in a calm wind. thanks!
I have a rod 10-40g rod 7f baitcaster and i use 10g lure and i can trow it around 20-30m is it good or its can trow more further cuz im begginer and i set my knob tension that when my lure hit the ground its stops spnining and i have breaks set at 3 my rod is savage gear sg2 medium game trigger and reel is mitchell mx3lp pls i rilly need help i dont know if im doing something wrong or its just equipment did i make mistake buying a baitcaster for 10-20g lure sometimes havier not more than 40g or cuz i cant trow it at all i manage to trow it like 20m when i use 7g lure with that rod i cant trow even 3m does its cant trow more than that saying a 10 g lure or i just need to get better if so how to get better at baitcaster im using 0.20mm braid its around 10 kg
*Used this today for first time **enjoyable.fishing** recommend caught four bass with it, it seems to be a solid reel so far. Very smooth and cast like a dream. I think its a good value.*
Yeah, that's not a Ned Rig. We all know the Ned rig is the "new" hot bait but come on. Spend some time learning about Midwest finesse fishing and you will see how this is not it.
The rod swing is also important keeping the line tight threw out the hole motion/swing also there's a lot to it really, sure to him not much cause he's done it for 40 years oh yeah and great form Kevin
Hackney is the best, thanks a million. I never fish jigs because no confidence, despite I know Denny Braur and Hackney smash good ones. I'm gonna give this a try.
