Thanks again Jiggin

JVGondal

bulk jig heads with quality heads ready to tie?

I really like the fine grade regular grade they have some good colors even the printed pattern living rubber there all easy to tie. The old flat square rubber well never be duplicated im sure again.

What is your source for said material?

JVGondal

Most are made with silicone
I prefer rubber. Silicone does not breath like rubber
I have no confidence in slow fishing or dead sticking silicone

Kelly what's your point. If you think CA. is that bad you can sell everything and always move. But you wont because its easier to bitch about what somebody else is doing its a democratic state it well always be one so just move on. And WRB is right bass fisherman dont have a seat at the Table. You ...

Why do you say that?

You have to be joking

I took the test few weeks ago. It forces you to take3 hours . Seems to me it was similar to the written test for Ca drivers license. I agree it could be better but at least it makes new boaters know what navigation lights are and some of the basics Most of us read the ABC’s of boating book at some p...

Boat insurance companies have asked for it. Probably increases the rate if you don’t have it

When I bought new insurance they asked if I had the card but at the time I was not required to have it

It’s not perfect but it is a good thing
Once you put 100 HP on a boat the operator should have some kind of knowledge
Is it really any different than a car or truck?
Less traffic but not always

This is what happens when the handcuffs are taken off the criminals and put on the police Time to go back to the days when the police could rough up a thief now and again I guess you've never been "roughed up" by the police. The day I’m running from the police for walking out with stolen ...

It maybe the restriction has been lifted. Didn’t want false information posted. For a long time Camanche did not allow boats from south because of the quagga muscle
In my opinion that is complete horse s h ! T
It’s basically a hoax
That just one man’s opinion

JVGondal

Catch a big one

JVGondal

I think closing deck lids, stomping around , dropping stuff on the deck transfers sound into the water more than any people talking and carrying on With that a loud troll motor that’s in the water is going to let MR. Bass know you are there Wasn’t there a study long ago showing that the majority lak...

JVGondal

Sound travels underwater much more than not Dive under water in a pool or lake and tap to stones together. We use to do this as kids. It’s amazing how far the sound travels More than that the noise from the TM drives me nuts It goes full tilt to put your boat in position rather than easing into it H...

I have an ultrex In my opinion it’s too noisy and as blueranger mentioned Harder to steer. I recently removed the ultrex for repairs and installed good ole cable steer in the meantime I m happy with the cable steer It’s quieter and steers smoother. The head does not turn either with a curly phone co...

JVGondal

Pretty sure I ordered the rattles from either Lure Parts or Barlows. Dee made a comment in his old flipping video that when bass are feeding on sight he likes to gives them a definite target right in the center of his jigs. Weapon jigs had that same target. I forget what you call it but it is red p...

Jigginbass it’s all love

In my case the springs wore out and sagged enough that the trailer tires rubbed the fender
Set of new springs resolved the fender rub

JVGondal

I disagree
I use Andy’s flat and notice little to no difference from the old rubber from the early 90s
Spend a few bucks and sample it
Or PM me and I will send you a couple flipping jigs I built
Free
I catch em on the delta with them all the time

JVGondal

What are you fishing for? Guppy?

JVGondal

Agree with blue Ranger and whoop bass

I fish 6 to 12 days a month sometimes more
I burn about 100 hours a year
I think I run more than I need too

JVGondal

A new bass boat & trailer will cost $100+/mo for reg and tax. That is $6K+ for a 5 year period. That seems a little excessive. Anyone who can justify the CA tax is off their rocker. At what point is too much? How much do we have to pay in taxes and deductions before we lose our citizenship titl...

JVGondal

Test in a swimming pool if one is available
Let jiggim4bass jump in a lake

It’s a good thing to educate. But take a look at the way people drive on the highway around here licensed and insured.
Stiffer penalties and more enforcement to go along with education is needed

JVGondal

Recreating jigs from the past for me not a problem. One of my favorites were Mop Jigs I built back in the late 70s early 80s 1/2 oz & 3/4 Arkie head & Football head jigs with 7" to 8" skirts and using Uncle Josh big daddy pork aka rabbit ears. Amazing. I bet your autograph will be...

JVGondal

It will educate some. Those who take it seriously. In my opinion to license boaters online is by in large a waste of time. In person training would be much better. If insurance companies required a boaters license to get your boat insured, or to operate one, like the do cars, people would get educa...

No way will you catch me out there on a holiday.

They are not available to the delta to begin with
The jigs look really nice but we will never know

JVGondal

If we are still here on earth. They have been building those tunnels since 2001

Even if they do it will take 100 years to complete with all the government regulations
Hell they are regulating ceiling fans

JVGondal

Never had a problem with jiginforbasa

Just funnen now and again

JVGondal

I have always tied with weed guard up for no particular reason except it’s easier to move out of the way
Recently I tied the skirts before putting in the weed guards

JVGondal

I been pouring painting and tying my own for 25 years or more. I’m not As good as you however. I just don’t make enough time. My jigs are rubber highlighted with silicone. I’m just now learning about filter beds. I am pretty good at tying as I also tie trout flies witch are tiny so bass jigs not so ...

JVGondal

I know you won’t sell any to me
So How about the recipe so I can make my own?
And honestly how do you feel about silicone skirts particularly for a dead stick jig?

JVGondal

I meant to say that does not look like a LIGHT wire hook to me
I can’t type
I can use the glasses for sure
But I need somthing to help my brain put what it thinks in text correctly and not backwards
That explains a lot don’t it?

I like 3/4.
1 1/2 i assume Is for punching. I never had a punching jig that didn’t get all fouled with the weeds we punch
If that jig you picture fished clean that would really be somthing

JVGondal

I tried that paw pork. It spoiled and turned rotten moldy before I could use it all
I hope I just had a bad batch
Anyone else have a comment ?

JVGondal

Love that jig I would fish that all day long

What are guys doing for pork these days,?
I know some is coming back but I didn’t like the quality

JVGondal

It’s not a mental thing. It’s called adjusting to the conditions Have and use a variety of lures lines and rods from ultra light to flippin First you need to get the bite then worry about landing. With that said I will use the heaviest gear the conditions allow. I suppose you would use your light wi...

JVGondal

It could. Be different for different people For a tournament angler a fish in the teens during a professional tournament How many shots does a guy get at that? For the rest of us you might say the biggest fish in the water you fish A lake record Certainly for all of us it’s the biggest fish we hook ...

JVGondal

I use that same hook with a Hulu grub on the delta when the bite is tough
I would be sweating bullets if a fish of a life time ate it

JVGondal

Gann’s makes a good jig Jiggin makes a good one too I’m sure He has somthing against the delta so it seems I’m just saying dirty water heavy cover I prefer a heavy wire hook. Shorter Shank to get the point farther up the weed guard where the fiber guard is a bit stiffer This way I’m not bending hook...

That quite impressive When did you go into the freshwater hall of fame ?
