**Fish on Line** · 03-10-2013, 03:51 PM

went fishing with my brother yesterday. we were fishing in a sharp turn in the channel, with a bass chasers in high gear . fighting the wind kept pushing us out of the channel. Bro was trying to get one line unhung when he found one of his poles missing from the rod holder. There FLOATING on top was his Salters . the only pole in the boat that would have been recovered. we caught 42

Yea......actually, I was going there to have the eyes redone on the tip end section of one of my poles and Didi said for me to buy 2 more poles while I was there......I didn't argue.....and by the way....they did the eyes for free....JB was not there so I managed to get out of there pretty quick....LOL...

I agree JB Salters are great poles...if fished the way they are designed to be fished. When I got mine my wife and I went to see JB at his shop...and spent a fun and enlightening 3 hours there (JB talks...a lot). He showed us how to fish his style and why he designed the pols that way...then gave us a bunch of copies of fishing spots, ways to tie setups, etc. Kind of a shortened version of the class he teaches a couple of times a year at LSU. I have a Wally Marshal, B&M, and a Salter for long crappie poles...and I grab the Salter first every time. I too wondered about the looks the first time...but I had a 22" Choupique (sp?) hit one of the bk/ch jigs I tie once and the fight was on! Eventually the Salter pole got it into the boat...what a blast!

I have never used a jig pole of any kind. Not sure what I wold do with one if I had one.

Jig fish for sacs. Once you try it your hooked. IMO You'll catch more too.

When the fish are behind the buttonwoods use the jig pole to get at them. Use it to jig deeper when the spawn is over. Can't see myself without a half dozen. Spiderrig with them.

And you can't fish with and reel 16 casting rods at a time,like some people who fish 16 jig poles at once. A sight to behold.
