    Default Fish bitin funny


    Went to Conway today to try out some new jigs i picked up the other day. I should've just left my boat at home cause you can walk across the stumps! Anyway i had plenty of bites but they were either short-strikes or super soft and i didnt realize it until they had already spit it.banghead I had a couple nice ones on but didnt get a good hook set. I ended up with six keepers but missed enough for an easy limit. I know part of the problem is the small hooks on the cheap jigs i've been buying. Anybody have any suggestions? I'm all ears.

    Don't buy cheap tackle, it can cost you fish. Make sure most of all use a quality hook!

    A dull hook is worse than a small hook. And after I miss two or three like that, its time to get a sharper hook! I like a #4 or #6 sickle hook myself.

    It's ok to buy cheap beer, but never ok to buy cheap tackle. Good quality tackle and equipment is a must have, it is one of the main links between you and your prey. Always buy the best that you can afford.
