Okay, so let's make this thread a productive thread.....why doesn't someone teach this wire-line jigging novice how it is done?
Then I can make up my mind wether I like it or not.....  |

I agree, please teach us the way Sbass1! You seem to be a plethora of wire line knowledge. But you remind so much of a guy once called Biscuit.

to me, it's not the method used to catch striped bass, but the angler/captain that can adapt to what is working and produce - consistently. i dont care if it's wire, chunking, drifting, livelining, casting eels, plugging, fly fishing, soft plastics, whatever.
it's also easy to make fun of boaters/charters that do pull wire as many believe it's easy fishing. come aboard, snap some jigs for a few hours, reel in some fish, dont whine and i'll be impressed. also, dont: snag bottom and lose the gear, snag one of the maze of lobster pots, be rude to another boater trolling, and watch out for the sailboats and traffic. learn how to troll the area with the structure on the flood and on the ebb. this has nothing to do w/ boat vs surf anglers, but fishing in general.
sbass1, shouldn't you be on the shoal right now and not surfing the internet!? and, while you're at it, get me a beer, mate!

I was weaned on wire back in the 60's by my dad and have put 1,000's of fish in the boat with wire and a "smiling bill no alibi" jig & pork over the years. It is probably one of the most effective controlled depth, strong current methods of lure presentation. You can try Bob S's aka got stripers (hey Bob rmember the old MA BASS Fed. days?) vertical jigging, or yo yoing like the RI guys but wire will produce when other methods won't. Sissy fishing?..try 300 ft. of wire jigging all day; for novices?...ever try undoing a backlash of wire; sporting?...I'm with Ron on this..the hit of a big fish will rip your arms off. Too each his own but my guess is that those who don't like wire haven't given it as chance!
Homerun - You need a quality rod w/ carboly or silicone nitrate guides-I like an aftco roller tip ; the preferred reel is a Penn 113 but I like the Jigmaster; mark your wire in 50 ft. sections with dacron secured with albright knots or try spro swivels or buy the premarked wire and hit the rips.

To tell the truth I usually do not like to pull wire or snap jigs, but it is highly effective means to put bass in the boat. I have a friend who does it religiosly and is into fish regularly. To each his own.
Sbass1, if you could give some hints- I will love ya forever!

I will also agree with Sbass and Bigfish in saying that I'd rather catch bass another way, but you have to do what you have to do from time to time and wire racks em up.

What ever Ron...you know Ron I am not in a competition with others so I really don't care how many fish "they" catch in 6 months time.....and if they do well I am happy for them. I like the kind of fishing I like and thats that! No high tech fish finding thingamajigs, wire line, electra-mates and all that crap....give me the good old fashioned method of working the shoreline and trying to find them just mano-a-fisho! Getting them to hit artificials (especially ones you made) is all the game I want Ron.....you like what you like and I like what I like. I respect that but obviosly you don't and you need to stoop to making cracks at those who dis-agree with you!  Oh well....happy wire line jigging y'all! |

homerun, you go buy a penn 113hsp and a 5'6" jigging rod made for wire. You spool 1/3 dacron,300' of wire, and 30' of flouro leader. go into the current at 2 - 2.5 knots, attatch a 3oz bucktail,let out all wire and 50' of dacron, stuff rod in holder, grab dacron , and jerk!!!!!!!!!!( IN ABOUT 30' - 40' OF WATER ) Fish on , reel in , bleed , ice , fillet , cook , eat. repeat. bon apetite!!!!!!
