Jim Rig...Secrets Revealed
Okay...perfect timing to offer my 3rd of a series...Jim Rig secret #3...the Jim Rig, Money Saving Tip:
Most of you know "the sound"...you know, the dreaded ploop ploop. You hear it, look right at the sound's origin and you see your rod sinking out...a real bummer. For most of us yakkers, it's not a matter of if it happens, it's more like when it happens. Well, I'll man up and admit I'm at about four or five rods and reels to date. And yes...it happened again today at 70 feet. The old hip adjustment during a two rod tangle and...ploop ploop. Dammit! But I'm a veteran at this game!!! BAM...man overboard button gets hit immediately on the fish finder...position saved!!! I then pull out some parts and go to work... (1) rod and reel (1) Squid Rig (3) 8-10 oz torpedo sinkers (1) Megabait (1) 2/0 treble hook (3) Swivels Improvise these up into a snag rigging machine... Peddle 100 yards back to my gps location and go to work...trawling for my rig! BAM! 2nd attempt and the heavy reeling up confirms my hope and gives my combo back. $300 saved! I've added a photo of my catch to make this a true fishing report. Until next time! Jim Last edited by Deamon; 06-15-2015 at 05:31 AM. |
