15 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:highfive
Thats a long time to wait
ANTICIPATION :fish
Somebody, give that man a valium, before he strokes out. See y'all soon. I will be bringing some C.c 2016 calendars. And a door prize.
i need more jig rig holders ive run out of room and i still got morreeeeee time to go !!!!! iiiimmmmmm readdddyyyyyy
i'll just stick to my nehi peach and hammer down.
i'm kinda glad we got 15 days. i got so much left to do. just bought my pork shoulder tonight for my butt bites. gotta whittle it off the bone and let it soak in some rib rub (wish i had some of green shiners stuff) and tie up some 4 jig rigs, and stirng some more rods, and get my boat ready. it rained all weekend last weekend so i got behind. LOL
but i'm ready too!!
Tell me more about the 4 jig rig. I got to install my new pole holders and I ordered 4 14ft poles today.
its quite simple. and easy to tie up some in advance in case you break one off. here is how it goes. cut a leader about 6 foot long, give or take. tie a barrel swivel on one end. then, from the other end, thread on a jig head (i would recommend pink) and run it up towards the barrel swivel. about a foot under the barrel swivel, pinch the line and make a loop, with the jig head in the center of the loop and tie a double knot dropper loop around the jig head. then repeat two more times, with the jig heads being about 14-18" apart. then at the end of the line just tie on the last jig with whatever knot you like. did that make sense about the dropper loops?? i have several little spools that have divided sections and are made of rubber. they have a little prong that you can hook the barrel swivel into and then wrap the set up around the spool, and each time you get to a hook, you just stick the tip of the hook into the rubber. it is very handy and quick when you need to re-tie. the biggest advantage of the 4 jig rig is that you can fish 8 different body colors 9all on a pink jig head of course) and see what they are wanting to bite. then start switching more of them over to that body color.
hope this helps.
doc :)
T-minus 14 days!!!
Hey Doc, what do you mean by a "double knot dropper loop around the jig head?" And, why only 8 different color jigs. Is there a limit of poles you can use on D'Arbonne?
Pastor. I was meaning if a fella only held a rod in each hand, he would have 4 jigs on each rod. Therefore he would have 8 different options until he found out what they wanted. But there is not a pole limit on Louisiana lakes.Quote:

When you do a plain double knot dropper loop, you just pin point where you want the loop and pinch the line right there. Then you make a circle with the pinched loop and poke the pinched end through the circle twice. This is the double part. What I have found is if you only poke it thru once, and you get a big fish, he will pull so hard on the loop that he pulls ur loop out and your jig is directly on the line. Loop is gone. I'll be happy to show ya at Darbonne. When I do my jigs I thread the jig on before I do my loops, so when you poke the loop thru the circle you poke the jig thru too. When I put an Aberdeen hook on a loop, I tie the loop first, then pinch the line and poke it thru the eye of the hook and then around the hook and pull tight.
See ya soon. I'm gonna text you a video of how to do this.
Doc.
I think I understand what you are talking about Doc, but a video just might clarify things. Thanks.
I do mine a little different and would be glad to show you up there. Slab Hunter showed me a way years ago and avoids the problem with the loop being pulled out if you catch a big fish.
I do the same Doc. Thread all my jigs on and tie the bottom jig first and work your way up. I go back through the loop 3 times instead of 2, won't pull out with 3Quote:
