Wobble Head Jig

April 22, 2020 by jim Leave a Comment

I’m late to the game, but I’m sure you have heard about the wobble head jig also referred to as a swing head jig. My first encounter with these swing head jigs was during my recent trip to Mexico. I caught my biggest bass and personal best bass on a wobble head jig. The Bass weighed in at 8 pounds and 13 ounces. If you have not read about my trip to Mexico, you… ...Read More

Boing Lures Topwater Baits

April 18, 2020 by jim Leave a Comment

I did it, I picked a couple of Boing Lures topwater baits. My sick obsession with fishing topwater baits has me on the search for perfection. Normally I am a topwater popper kind of guy. My go-to lure is a Lobina Rio Rico. This time I was in search of a walk-the-dog style bait, and I came across Boing Lures on the Tackle Warehouse website. Boing Topwater Lures A quick… ...Read More

The Ultimate Jig fishing combo

September 7, 2019 by jim Leave a Comment

I think I have put together the ultimate jig fishing combo. This is my combo. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my combo is useless. Without my combo, I am useless. If you know where I got that from, we can be friends. One thing I must confess is that I’m not really a good jig fisherman, as… ...Read More

Well, well, well, what do we got going on over here? Nothing really, just my first look at the DOOMSDAY D-Hop 75 frog from Doomsday Tackle.

Tungsten Price Comparison: Cheap Tungsten Weights

February 26, 2019 by jim Leave a Comment

Late one night I was online searching for cheap tungsten weights for purchase. I quickly realized that this was not going to be an easy task. What was I looking for? I wanted worm weights, as that’s what I fish 75% of my time on the water. I also mostly fish with my family, which means plenty of lost hooks and weights. The search for cheap Tungsten weights was… ...Read More

I think I have finally found the perfect worm organizer. I ran across the Flambeau Super Half Satchel Soft Bait Organizer on a quest one night. Quest you ask?

Did I want a tackle… ...Read More

Oh man, LunkerHunt is coming out with a new soft body bait called the LunkerHunt Prop Frog and I feel as though it will be my go to bait when the topwater bite is on. I am a big fan of the LunkerHunt frog. This new prop frog will have rotating feet that remind me of propellers.

SPRO BBZ-1 Rat

July 28, 2017 by jim 3 Comments

I’m going to start out by saying I hate the SPRO BBZ-1 Rat. When I say hate, it’s a love/hate kind of thing. For some reason, I can’t catch a fish on it. I’ve had hits on it, but every single time I hook one on, the fish jumps and spits the lure. A couple of things I have noticed is the bait tends to roll to one side if you reel it in too fast. Also on… ...Read More
