Ring Worms

You can get Ringworms at Hooked On Fishing in Rochester, at Gander Mountain, and at Cabela's. Most places that sell them have Electric Blue and Purple which are my favorite colors. I like the ones with a white tail best.
I do not carry Ringworms at Catch-N Tackle. I do have Super-Do's which are another "niche" river plastic.
I like Super Do's much better on the river. I catch many more fish on them. I think this is because I fish them more vertical and they remain in the "strike zone" longer. Super Do's are a "do nothing" method of walleye fishing. I use a bit heavier than normal jig and fish them right under the boat. I use conventional round heads or a Fintech Nuckle Ball. You only need to "hover" them slightly above the bottom... and bump the bottom once in a while. Walleye and Sauger reeeaaaalllllly smack Super Do's hard!

Ringworms are a different deal all together... they are a "you gotta work 'em" bait. I use as light a jig as I can by with, and cast them up curent... working them back till they are behind the boat. When they loose contact with the bottom, I cast them out front again, bumping the bottom, all the way. I throw them into the shallows too. So... I tend to loose LOTS of jigs. Or else, I use them on a Weedless Super Do Jig head.
I think I catch more Eyes on Super Do's because I am not hung-up as much!

Anyways, Northlander... I will send you a handfull of my favorite colors of Ringworms if you want to try some. But I do suggest you "Do the Do" and try those on the river also. Catch-N Tackle has the longer / bigger Super Do's in stock and in great colors. I like the bigger Do's much better!
Let me know if I can be of more help.

Northlander,
Go ahead and let me know what colors of Super Do's you want to try... OR... you can mix & match colors in a 25 pack.
And you can just send me a check for the order.
If you do not make a $25.00 or over total order (gives you free shipping on catch-n.com), include $4.00 to cover the shipping.
Include your shipping address with your check.

I'll send YOUR order TO YOU with a 50 pack of assorted color ringies!

Northlander, for stained water I recommend Charteruse Sparkle & Emerald Sparkle... but NEVER pass up Brown and Orange Pepper! It is a "natural" color.
Heck, "the boss" says you can mix your order... why not try 5 each of 5 different colors! Then come back to the one that works the best for you in your water.

Yep, that is "my place"... not a store front, I sell out of my home. No overhead smile.gif 'cept for MOM... she is way over my head!

Northlander....A hint here. These plastics are wild after the water gets to about 50 degrees. Regardless of the amount of "color" or stain in the water, start with the brighter colors like white/red tail or chartreuse and as the water temps drop into the 40 degree water make a shift into the blues browns and dark greens (junebug is a good one). That will hold true for about any plastic. The warmer the water, the more aggressive they will be and they'll not take a good look at what they are hitting, but as the water cools your become more pinpoint in thier hits and will study the bait longer. Another key...chartreuse or white heads for the bright colors and black,purple,or dark blue for the cold water colors. Try a long line drag on the ringworms on a light jighead.

Sure life happens- why wait....The Crapster....good fishing guys!

Northlander,
They will work on the St. Louis. I have yet to get skunked on them, fishing a variety of rivers across the state.

SOmething with white in it will work great. The most universal color I have used is the Purple with white tail!!!!!!

I know of another supplier if interested e-mail!

Keep the rods bendin'!!!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
