If you tie, it opens up all kind of possibilities. I came up with these, I wanted a streamer type jig:

Another option is plastic crappie tubes, I use em alot in 1/16 and 1/32. Ebay is a good source, lots of custom pours.

I'm sure those are good jigs....but keep in mind Zig Jigs have an offset head that gives them the Zig Zag feature when popping it up. They are not a normal jig head.

That's a good feature of the Zig Jig, I've seen other jigheads with that offset head too. Phil from Lily's Landing offers an offset jighead too:

One tactic I learned a few years ago for more jig action is to simply extend my index finger to bump the line as I reel. It causes the jig to wiggle a bit more. Better explained here:

Had a chance to fish with Yamaga Blanks Blue Current 77 TZ/ Nano Stream Special. So far I've taken it only to the bay, no freshwater experience yet. At 74 g this rod is incredibly powerful yet sensitive, and no bites go unnoticed. Just today a sizable spotted bay bass was tasting my Keitech for 10–20 second before I felt confident to set the hook. There is plenty of power to stop fish from digging into the bottom (which otherwise invariably leads to a cut line). I quickly worked up enough courage to lift about 1.5 lbs spotted and white bass up to the rocks, so boat flipping won't be a problem. I'll spare any more details (no panfish encounters, unfortunately), but I'm very impressed with the rod. With a light reel, it'll also make my morning sessions much less taxing on my arms.

Anybody use buyee to get rods from Yahoo auctions? If so how did it go?
Thanks

Nope but I’m looking into it. They have a rod I want and they take PayPal so it should be OK.

Can I buy just the butt section for a Triple Cross? Mine is the 7'3" tubular model and I need a new butt section. Plat has the various sections available in the Crostage series only.

Yes you can buy the butt. Just send them an email requesting the butt for that model number. They will charge you shipping and you might find the cost too much and just decide to put that money to another rod. The tip section for a Fine Tail Banshee was around 140 bucks. Of course the Triple Cross is a less expensive rod but I’m thinking it might be half the cost of a new rod if not more.
