Thanks Mike. Let me check a few other things and I'll get back to you if I want that one.

Would the Loomis or the Lamis throw bombers (5501 abu and 14# fireline), or is that a stretch? I know the...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out. Jig size depends on the depth and current when I am throwing them. The areas that I would fish with 3/8 oz are shallow (less than 4 feet), so anything...

Should work fine as pencils even with the added weight. You might consider a lighter wood so they'll be a little more bouyant. You can still load them with lead to get your target weight. I do some...

Both ways mentioned (tail loop on front section, or Rockfish's way of threading the loop through the plug). What method works best will depend on the plug. For example, RM's jointed use the first...

Been a while since I've made a danny like that one. Did not try other lips in it, though I would think the small danny lip that CC Tackle makes would work for that plug. I use that lip in another...
