My buddy and I fished Sinclair's Beaverdam Creek last Friday and Saturday We spent about fifteen hours trolling longlines in water less than fifteen feet deep. We fished eight rods with Bass Pro Shop's 6# Hi-Viz line and Lightwirehooker's 3/32 oz. tri-head jigs with curly tail bodies.

In all that time I don't think we broke off more than ten times. Most times the hooks straightened out and we rebent them with our fingers and went back to fishing usually without even losing the curly tail.

Before switching over to Curtis' jigs we would break off thirty or forty a day especially when the crappie moved into the shallows. I'm sold on Curtis' jigs.

Curtis lives in Cochran. Arrange to meet him, ask him about trolling, and I'm confident you'll leave with some of his jigs.

If you need some bodies, Luremaker 358 has a big assortment, and has a lot of experience trolling. He lives in a little ways off I-16 near the Danville Exit.

A little driving saved me a lot of money and allowed me the opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge.

Good luck!
