Hit the nail on the head. Those are the dimensions that are working for me lately. Nice work.

Cast, count to 3 or 4 for depth and start a slow retrieve, wait for the thump.

Thanks Skeetbum. Now I just need to get to the water. I went today thinking OK not to bad when I left the house. Got to the water, fishing from a cement bridge, and had whit caps on the water. couldn't cast, and dropping straight down had a three foot bow in the line. I tried for an hour and a half and not even a nibble. Gave up and came home. Wrelcome march winds....

I’m hoping you get some water time. I get to look at it every day, but the boss would get a little sideways I went to carrying a rod and some junk. No sense of adventure.

Closest water to me is where I went today, about 6 miles each way,and another lake about 10 more miles from that. Then Stockton lake is about 35-50 miles each way...Momma's big adventure is on the road. She changed companies two weeks ago, and now gone 3-6 weeks at a time. But it's what she wants soooo! But if she gets the kinda miles her boy does it will be worth it in the long run...

God bless her. I wanted no more than 2 weeks, less in later years. You don't want to be around me after 3 weeks.

She is special for sure. Coming up on 31yrs driving over the road...

Jigs looking good on that last try and really the amount of hair is probably the biggest thing, even more than length IMHO! Too much hair hurts the action some as well as the look.

My #2 son drives and has for a really long time now. Is out there now delivering Medical Oxygen to hospitals. He has been running LPG until the recent cut backs where he was running. Now over in the FL, Ga. Ala. areas. Just praying he doesn't catch that dang Virus.

Thank you Skip. Some times trying to make a bait look fuller does hurt it's action. One reason we ask for advice from fellow fisherman.
Yes, our loved ones out on the road is always a concern. After being out there continuously for 31 yrs. I have all the faith in my sweethearts ability, however it's the OTHER folks I worry about. Just because you have the experience doesn't mean everyone does. And that is always a concern. I was out there for some 16+ years myself till my back and knees said NO MORE!!! And I had to give it up. So now she does it and I stay home and care for our little fur babies...

A friend who was also a driver called and asked if we wanted another one. Seem's someone abandoned a little Chihuahua puppy at an Alabama fuel stop and drove off. This driver watched it happen. So now we have three CHI.'s. All females and all rescues. This is Sugar, Miss Leila, And the baby Ms Bama, or little bit as I call her most of the time. Her size and stature don't stop her one bit...We love all of them. And when Momma comes home....Back ends try to over take the fronts. And with these three can't no one sneak around the house as they let me know when ANYTHING moves outside...the courus is music to my ears...

Thats my sweet Sugar and Bama, and then Rosie who we lost last year!!!
