Drill a 1/16 hole in the top of a spent 22 shell. Take a piece of spinnerbait wire about 2 inches long and put a 90 degree bend on both ends about 1/4” long. Stick the shell casing down over the...

Currently using a medium power Rainshadow Eternity ETEC68M-SS, so looks like I am in the ballpark on rod.

What are you guys throwing these on as far as rod/reel/ line? Talking about the original bitsy bug, not the flipping. Seem to have an issue with a lot of fish coming unbuttoned. Best thing I have...

For sure!

Yep, southeast TN is way overcrowded and “Chic” is overrated. But on the bright side all you guys are running real estate prices through the roof so it will be great when I leave.

Hey guys, looking for a blank recommendation. This is what I am needing: around 7’3” it will be used for 3/8-1/2 soft plastics, braid to leader with a 15lb leader. Looking for something sensitive...

I am not so sure he would make it qualifying through the Opens…..I think it might take him several years if he did.

I had the exact same experience with break offs no matter what I tried. Went back to straight fluoro. It is fun jacking them when you get a bite….

I use a small texas rig with a 3/16 weight for fishing around just a about anything. I know that many use a shakey in the same situations. Tell me why I should use a shakey vs the Texas rig? Do you...

Yes it does seem crazy to go 9 hours. Surely you can find a team a little closer to beat you. Just head up to Atlanta, they have plenty of good teams.

Am I the only person on this site that tows at 65? Sheesh, at 75 no wonder your gas mileage sucks……

Considering a Liberty MB794. Any other suggestions for a good rig blank in the $100 range? What do you guys usually look for in a rig blank? TIA :bows:

You ask for a hidden gem on a public forum with 150k members? Good luck….. The best way to find a hidden gem is to get out on your own and see what fits your personal style.

Are you referring to the YouTubers or the scammers?

I just built a FS764. I hadn’t considered for football jigs but I will give it a shot.

So, it sounds like most would go with a 4-power rod versus a 5-power? Also, I forgot to mention this will be for jigs with a lighter casting hook versus a flipping style hook.

Next build will be a football jig dedicated rod, majority 1/2 and 3/4 with 12lb fluoro. I am considering two blanks, Liberty MB734 or Hydra OSMB703MH. Any other blanks in the $75-$100 price range I...

No, pretty much said what I meant.

Welcome to the South……
please don’t be a male Karen, most in N Al don’t like being told what they should and shouldn’t do.
Don’t tell anyone your fishing spots!

Do D3 schools give scholarships?

First off I will say I have been a fluoro user for about 10 years. But, I will say it is more fickle than mono and you do have the random break off from not checking line. With that being said, would...

Ended up going with the Liberty 764. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Spoon, thanks for the info. Looking into the Thrasher blanks, if the actions are as listed they may be exactly what I am looking for.

Also, I had someone suggest a Liberty FS764. I am told it may be more of a moderate action. Can anyone confirm this?

Needing suggestions on selecting a blank. The rod will be used for 9/16" arky style head jig with a medium wire 0.050" hook (similar to Eakins type), Zoom big salty chunk, and 15-20lb. fluoro. So, I...
