...wEE Wee....
...he tied on a bucktail jig...but when I noticed, I explained to him ..that the direction of the hook wouldn't help as much as a treble hook. I told him to tie on an old treble setup...in case he got caught, it wouldn't be a great loss. So he tied on a diamond jig....(a large one)...and replaced the treble on it with a larger one...and dragged it along the bottom.
....One part I left out was this:
..He was using Power Pro (50#) test, he was constantly breaking the line.....we started talking and came to the conclusion that he must have gotten a bad spool. The line was busting on his casts!!!...I asked him if maybe the top guide had a crack in it...and maybe the line was sneaking into the crack and was being cut there...he claimed the line wasn't breaking at the tip...but we couldn't determine that for sure ....cuz the tip was gone!!!....
...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
