I just added a chatterbait finally. As with all other new baits I will probably throw it 3-4 times and say "this sucks" and throw something else that doesnt catch them either.
Hey Cooper , I find out I'm the same way with something new,but I'll give it 7-8 casts. LOL ???
Don't put the chatter bait away, guys in the teardrop won a tourney last year with that bait. It works, the first time I threw it I caught one, the first cast. :D

Chatter type bait.(swim jig) I never just go out and buy stuff because it's a fad, so I know I'm a couple of seasons late on this one, but I guess I'll give 'em a try.
Slim Jim snack box. Best fishin' snack there is. ;D

Send 'em my way, I've always got room in my boat. I kinda have an affinity fer froggies.
this year i got a curado d with a 7' heavy rod for froggin in the thick stuff, a citica for with a 7' medium heavy action.
for lures i got a bunch of gulp, a double buzz and i restocked on all the others like soft plastics and a few new cranks and jerk baits. o yea and i bought a big dog-x form Mikes Rx
Yup - Chatter bait is new,
McCarter hooked (no pun intended) me on jigging,
Jack helped me with Tube and drop shot, and Brian makes the absolute best drop shot goby .... bar none ......
Im trying Bob Brunners red eye to finish out holes this year
and..... Wayne's tube put a ton of fish in my locker so I have to build that up too.
Lastly I put some Luckycraft shad and perch slash baits
I probably almost spended 1G this winter alone,between filling up an entire box with plastic worms,tubes,lizards,frogs,grubs and beavers.Got 2 citica reels,shimano clarus rod(getting another one in a week or 2) and countless spinnerbaits,crankbaits,rat-l-traps and floating minnows i try to pick up on sale.
I still wanna get some more rooster tails and a lure box specifically for them.They are my go to lures.A fly box was suggested by somebody on storing the rooster tails,any other suggestions are welcome.
I got quite a few new things....now i gotta figure out how to use them all.
... and you need The Angler's Genie to keep track of it all ... ;D
$261.79 at BPS last weekend...........now another $187.55 in baits at D & R Sports plus one 7' Loomis GLX Spinning rod :o
Still need tires for the trailer..............just another year. ;)
Rooster tails !! How and when do you use ? It looks like a perfect openign cat - no spook - in front of a weed line type lure ? How else are they fished ?
HAPPY EASTER ALL!!
i'll tell you what's new if u can help me out. tried doing a search on a couple key words here but to no avail. while waiting here for family to show, i was going thru my jig assortments and only to find out that those pesky rubber bands that hold the skirts together broke and now have strings of all over the place. i'm sure this has been brought up before, but like i said not finding or looking "deep" enuff. can u good people freshen the forum bank here and pass along your remedies. thanks & much appreciated.
Shakey head stuff. Back to the finesse worms I use to use 10 years ago!
2x Diawa Exceler Reels
2x 6'6" Airrus Spinning Rods
1 Diawa Zillion for pitiching
Not sure if your looking to re-attach your skirts or how too keep them from breaking again. I usually tie my own jigs and used a copper wire I got from d and r's fly dept. wrap it 3-4 times then twist it until it broke. Help forever!
2 or three Luckycraft moonsalts in the 200 and 350 series in the Mat Tiger, Hot Tiger, American Shad, and Ghost minnow Some Berkley worms and Kinami worms, (4 in) for drop shotting, a few Lucky craft Sammys in Ghost minnow, a few bite me rattlin jig heads with offset 60 degree eyes and last but not least, three baitcasters- The President, a Trion and a Purist
Bosshawg- Orthodontists give out rubber bands to people with braces that are basically the exact same thing. I have a ton, if you have kids or nieces and nephews who have braces ask them.
-Kid
Another thing to do with skirts for jigs is to keep the rubber bands soft. Apply something to them to keep them from drying out if that's the problem. Try some MegaStrike, it's a good lubricant. The only downside is that sometime the skirts will slide around too easily. I like the copper wire idea. I've gotta try that one. I've also heard of guys using 0-rings from the hardware store. Maybe they are more durable...don't know.
Last year I switched out most of my skirts to the quick change ones. They don't have the color combos that you can get if you tie your own, but they don't have the rubber band problems either. But I stink with a jig anyway...still something I need to get a better feel for. When I improve, I guess I'll go to tying my own. We'll see.
Let's see:
2 Kistler rods, 1 airrus, 1 quantum pt
3 tour edition pt casters, 1 energy pt spin
p line halo and evolution
too much new tackle in new tackle boxes
only thing old is the boat, which needs new tires: suggestions??
too much money, and may have a new divorce soon!!! Just kidding, my wife is okay with what I do as long as I keep the bills paid
Here are some of my new toys... some are new some are used...

Actually... now that you mention it...
i likes them fishin poles abov ;) ;) ;)
muss be fun wheen line changin time cumes round ;D ;D ;D
:-* :-* :-* CHAMPIONS BOAT RULE :-* :-* :-*
for those that replied on the skirt issue, thanks... kinda like the copper wire idea. will spend a little time doing my jig heads this weekend. i do use the terminator skirts on spinnerbaits, but just don't look right on a jig.
for what's new:
6'-6 medium berkley lighting rod
Quantum's accurist 500 reel
seaguard fluoro line 8 & 10lb test
3 x-rap jerk baits
booh-ya chatterbait
bunch of provider jig heads
red dragon tubes
and a partridge in a pear tree....... ::) ::)

There is a compny in Arizona I think that uses stainless steel to fasten the skirts to their jigs. Check it out at
www.conquistadortackle.com
that would work to. now where would you find it? did not wrap jigs today - brought boat home, got the deck to fit in today...
Nice looking deck extension, I plan on doing a small one to fill in the opening in the front, I have a fish/ski so the front deck isnt very big.
