I use the fireline too huck. In-fisherman guys sold me on the fireline for jig fishin. This summer I bought a crapload of hair jigs on sale, intending on using them for sauger and crappie. I have stocked up cuz they were half price all summer, they better work, bet I bought $150 worth. Mister twister makes em. Ill put some pics up. Anyways, I have caught em on spoons and silver buddys too, but I stick with ballhead jigs. How come there is so much water down there Huck, cuz of Tenn riv and Cumberland riv??.
A lot of times I can catch em downcurrent of barge tie-up things, and catch a lot around trib mouths and bridge pilings. Power plant discharges can be good too. You cant beat the tailwaters for numbers of fish though, and usually some stripers and cats mixed in when you below the dams.
Here are those mister twisters, I have a huge box full of these jigs but havent used em much yet, hoping to when it gets colder, I also put up shinee hinee thrown in cuz I remember a post a long time ago where someone was wantint to know what they are, hope those bigger jigs got plenty of weight as long as ur not right below a turbine at the dam, may have to tie heavier ones for sauger, but I hope these still catch some crappie, cuz if not I got wayy too many.... Here are some of the diff colors, I liked the colors they had, the bigger ones are 1/4 oz
Ezgo, I might try meldahl this weekend, when are you goin Bassky?
BTW: I need to start using stinger hooks, what do the ones yall use look like??
