Life expectancy continued ......

[Ketchn]

pretty jig
just what the doc ordered for muddy water
how long did it last ?
EXACTLY 3 casts ....first 2 were a nice crappie in hand
third cast something big wanted it more than me .....
and my line went ...
KABOOM
so in this case the life expectancy was exactly 2 fish !.....

Sometimes things like that going to happen. Yesterday a jig I only caught about 200 on so far, still looking good . Went to unhook a Crappie and it flopped. The hook snapped off. Almost glad Thunderstorms are in the forecast . I hammered them 4 out of last 5 days . This old timer needs a rest .

it is like that , a thousand or so in hand in a week will make an older fella pretty tired ....

look close at that jig , bought them years ago from a local , a wise fella might spot why it has a shorter life than some jigs ....
and yes lots of ammo is my thing , because a gun without ammo as my daddy used to say .....is just a pc. a pipe .....

The loop knot looks frayed. Could be water on it but can't see any other possible weakness.

keen eyed fella you is ,now a jig tying fool like you will spot WHY and or how ,said knot got frayed after I just tied it on there ....
I forgot to check it , my bad .....

The hook eye looks rusty or maybe sharp edge from paint job. Bronze hooks are the first to rust.

Darn darn darn. That was a prudy jig too. Better to have caught some then lose first drop. Probably a 10# crappie has it now.

Northern pike cut jigs off up here like a knife through butter, pike are everywhere.
