Hopefully I'm not hijacking here... For those who have a lot of experience, how would you set one up if you were limited to two hooks? Try to get them to go for the 2 on the bottom, or one bottom...

I'll look to see if I have any photos! My boat and tackle are an absolute disaster right now as I kind of dumped stuff when I got back from Mexico and haven't had the chance to straighten things up...
Yes. As I mentioned, not on the website, but Paul will make them. I've had him make several batches for me. I told him the weight, blades (type, size, and finish), head color, and skirt colors I...
Board sponsor ACT Lures makes incredible, fully custom spinnerbaits. They're not on the website, but Paul will make you whatever you want. His BBC username is paulpus. A quick PM and you'll have...
The Baby Squadron was going to be my suggestion. I've used the regular Squadron with great success on full-sized A-rigs (and swimbaits in general), and that new Baby Squadron should be the ticket...
Congrats on the giant!!!
I really appreciate the kind words. I don't think they're deserved--I am a professor and I happen to enjoy bass fishing--but I think most of the rest is that I spend way...
Just going down the mono or fluoro list on Tackle Warehouse, it doesn't take long to refute that CXX shares a "standard" diameter with other lines. Looking in detail, it seems only Trilene XT is on...
I almost always put my console graph in standby when I'm fishing up front anyhow unless there's someone on the back deck, but I also turn the sonar off on mine when I'm up shallow and not using it. ...
I quit messing around with different braids after trying a bunch and basically reaching the conclusion that there are very few differences, at least once you compare apples to apples. By that, I...
That's going to be a big knot to be casting through guides on an A-rig. I think it's doable, but I also think you'll want to commit to the FG with a leader that heavy. I'm also not sure you'll get...
For jigheads, I started experimenting with small (like 2x3”), heavy duty (4 mil), plastic zip bags I found on eBay when I had to pack stuff differently than usual for my trip to Baccarac due to...
Are the knots catching on the guides and fraying, or just fraying? If the latter, that kind of sounds like a problem with the braid, though I've never really had that happen unless a guide was...
If I had to guess, I'd say it's a combo of extra durability and making the jig "float" through the water (i.e., stay at a more consistent depth) due to the increased resistance of the thicker...
I'm far from even a little knowledgeable on the technique aside from some basic physics of how the jigs behave in the water (and that part is mostly just from tangential experience like ice fishing...
One more reason I like throwing them on braid to a leader! I throw a lot of 3/8 oz chatterbaits and they definitely want to helicopter at times. Agree that the heavier ones definitely do it a lot...
I don't think there's a rule against it...I've seen lots of things like that posted and never seen negative reactions. I think the only way we'd run into a situation that raises eyebrows would be if...
If the jig head has its weight distributed so it naturally hangs horizontally in the water column (which is the goal with all these new jig head designs made for these techniques), the loop knot...
Agree with Amazon. It's really the only place I've routinely seen them less than retail. I was able to snag a 2 bank version for like $175 compared to its retail of $225.
I'm not a huge 110 thrower, so take this for what it's worth: In my opinion, the giant swatch of colors out there is entirely unnecessary, even for some of the most picky fish. You definitely need...
I agree that the BPS Swerve is a good one to check out. They just released a 6" version ($18) which looks a lot more manageable than the 7", especially for those just getting into bigger baits.
...
I've had luck throwing them on either 6/0 or 8/0 weighted Owner Beasts, and prefer the 6/0. You could probably throw it on an unweighted one, but it's going to want to rise too much and not stay...
One thing I've noticed is that the diameter of your leader has a big effect too, maybe even more than the diameter of the braid. I also agree with bassboat1 about the importance of a longer leader. ...
I'm a big fan of braid to a leader on jerkbaits. I use a long (15' or more) leader, and wouldn't ever do it with straight braid. I've caught literally thousands of fish on that set up, including...
Based on Bass Cat's suggestion above, it sounds like you'd benefit from a 4-5 degree wedge (3 degrees to undo the current angle, plus 1-2 more to angle it as they suggest).
Bass Boat Technologies has one. It's not necessarily a corner bracket, but you can get it pretty darn close! ...
