I am really liking those Flambue boxes. For those of you that have them how do they hold up? I may have to pick up a few for next season.
how about the jig boxes with the clips to hold the jigs... pros and cons anyone??? im thinking i want some but i dont want to be mad about something everyone but me knows is wrong with them
how many jigs can they hold do you know? when you close the sides do they rub together?
Nice looking jigs Ryno.. Where do you do most of your fishing? Dan Siegfried St.Francis,Ks.
Ryno, I believe your "the Man" with the most jigs! Very Impressive!!!
everyone has a nice selection of jigs and im sure they all work with the right presentation but personally i feel there is only a need for a select few jigs. 1. would have to be the frostie glow on overcast days. i have caught everything on them, from panfish to trout. 2. would have to be very small teardrop in the same glow color or gold on bird blue skies or during a cold front. 3. would be a jigging rapala or puppet minnow which most people have, this is an awesome jig for deepwater jigging for perch and eyes. Once in a while when im feeling saucie ill throw on a swedish pimple in a darker color. i just feel it is unpractical to use 100 plus jigs in a seasonbut then again in new jersey our season is at best 2 months, only allowing me to get out about 15 to 20 times a year.
i smell jealousy haha j/k but we all know we like so see whats out there.. and i have been fishing right next to my buddy in the shack and both deadsticking a tear drop, mine was lime green and his was red and he was catching more then me, switched to a red and started nailing em, and we were deadsticking so i know it wasn't presentation or depth.. proof that i was glad to have a wide variety of colors of the same jig and many diff jig styles
thats all im trying to say...variety is a good thing...im not knocking having a couple of a bunch of different jigs or pimples or whatever but i saw a few boxes here that had a whole box of nothing but pimples 20? 30? maybe more? and like 100 marmooskas all in green glow? both work and can work well tried and true to the core....but cmon how many do you need? i lose maybe 3-4 jigs all season and thats even pushin it...a good truck will get you to the lake will 20 get you there better?
All my jigs are much dirtier and beat up than anyone else's on here.
