Thread: Big Cypress 12/21

You're right about the big shiners Bruce, but they're hard to find sometimes.

You can always put split shot on the line above the jig.

and it does seem to be broke....needs fixin.........

When you look at the size compared to the hand, they are 1/32 or 1/64 --- about a half inch long. I have to put on split shot for deep fishing a couple of inches above the Bait, they help to dislodge Jigs that get hung up. That extremely light Jig would drop closer to a natural rate below the weights

Thanks for the information, theygotaeat. I had no idea where Big Cypress is. Of course, I never fish Texas either.
