Thanks Roger ! And I should add thanks to Capt Jerry C (Skippy) for the idea. It's great when we share knowledge and optimism And I'm glad teaser-less works for you, without the teaser I'd be fluke-less :-p

Haha Skippy was a big fan of my rubber band trick! I haven't fished with him since getting the kayak, but Jerry knows RB like the back of his hand and a riot to boot.

To the original topic, I go braid to floro to a small Kreh's loop knot to the jig. Haven't had to use heavier than 3/4 oz in RB yet.

I like the Pro-Tie skirts, once they get chewed up you can just pop on another. Change colors easily on the water.



This year I'm giving the biffle-head jigs a try on the larger grubs:

I mold a cable and hook into the jig head. Then attach the gulp grub down he cable and through the hook. It's a pain in the ass getting it on but once it's on it stays and gives the gulp a flexible backbone and some pretty bad ass action. I also use a UV Powder coat with silicone skirts which between the two seems to get more bites

Thanks man

I could get the pita part of threading the gulp, what about molding in a snap or clip at the butt end of the jig so the wire could come off, the a rigging needle would work out nicely

Some dead things as my wife calls them

Mike H, how do you like using the bucktails with the line loop at the front of the jig instead of the top like your typical spro? Does this help prevent snags? Do you catch as many fish using this style jig? Thanks.
