cool color jig

[dashaver63]

I just have 1 question I was wondering about. Could I get some jigs without the trailer keeper? Or would a rattle band fit over it? It occurred to me today when I was getting ready to order. I only really use the bands when the water is really dirty so a few of both would be good for me.

The bands will fit around them with no problem

You can take a pen cap and cut the end of it off ( make sure you use a pointy pen cap) and then drill a hole in the end of it.  Then you can slip the cap onto the hook and push it up over the screw lock.  then you can slide the collar over the cap and onto the collar of the jig.  be careful when doing it tho, i put a few hooks points into my hands and fingers.

I can tie rattles onto the jig with the wire.  i did a couple last night.  takes a little longer but its no big deal really.

Order sent. I really like oranges and reds in my jigs, especially in the spring. That Monzo jig will really look nice with a green pumpkin Zoom superchunk with red spike-it on the claws.

Ok, now all I need are some soft plastic buzz baits, frogs, shad or whatever. Went through a bag of those mean pumpkin worms yesterday so I'll probably be ordering more of those pretty soon too.

It was great to see a wall full of Nemesis baits at KD's yesterday. Picked up some Nemesis Sickos

Heading to Dale Hollow on Thursday, I'll let you know how I do...

[McCarter]

You catch some Doug?

Sure did. Fished a body of water I've never been on before in a tournament yesterday. Took me a little bit, but I put together a decent pattern wacky rigging your stick baits on secondary points, and mean pumpkin was the only color they would bite. Water dropped only about 3 or 4 degrees from Saturday, but it was enough to push them back out to the deeper points and put off bedding for a while again. 15 inch limit on this lake, and I had to get through 20 or so short fish to get my 5. Finished second with 16.09. Not bad for never seeing that lake untill launch yesterday.

 Nice job.. I cant wait till i can go to a lake with Nothing but 1 rod and a Sicko tied on.. come on warm water.. it so close i can feel it i finally got some yesterday on them!

[McCarter]

Thats awesome.  There is nothing that makes us happier than you guys having success on our baits.  Keep it up!

 And we enjoy catching fish on a quality product. Thanks and u keep it chugging along. thanks again buddy

[dashaver63]

I second that. And those baits are durable. For all the fish I caught and to only go through one bag, especially wacky rigging them. I just took the stick off and turned it a little to get new plastic to stick it through.
The cool part of these tournaments are that it is my son's first experience tournament bass fishing. He actually put the first fish in the boat for us Sunday too. Now I just have to get him to pay attention to how he caught his fish so he can try to duplicate his catch. It's gonna be a fun summer.

Picked up my Nemesis Jigs and a couple bags of Gobies from McCarter (himself) yesterday. The jigs are great looking, hopefully the fish will thing so too. I'll have one tied on this weekend down in Tennessee. He wants me to catch a world record smallie for him - it's good to have a goal!

(Brian - thanks for the extra bag of samples - I'll spread them around to my fishing buddies! More chances for that world record)
