Jigs I am pouring now

Power Pro Super Slick braid

Can't wait try out my christmas present, Dig-n-anchor..if it doesn't meet my expectation, it will be posted for sale and go w/pp or kota. (If budget dept allows it)

- New custom rod currently being built. 7'2" loomis blank w/full grip, medium, moderate-fast action & fuji alconite guides. I requested this in spinning for small to med size cranks. Companies these days are making everything in casting. I am all casting except dropshot and small-to-med cranks. I won't have to worry about wind & birdnest this coming summer (I hope)

- ZPI flat knobs for the Shimano Ci4's. Feels better then the foam stock.

I'm itching to try some sort of a MN legal modified Alabama rig.

[Deitz Dittrich]

I really have not given it a ton of thought.. I know I am going to pick up a Chronarch 51 for my new drop shot rod.. I want to pick up some of the new Rapala rattle baits, they look pretty cool.

[Juan Grande]

Anybody tried that new Nanofil line?

[JP Z]

I'm looking forward to some of the new Rapala Rattle baits................and that's as far as I've gotten. Once we get closer to opener I'm sure the list will grow.

Hiya -

A few things I want to try this season...

- Strike King Series 3XD crankbaits

- Northland Impulse plastics. If the success the ice guys are having is any indication, they should be good.

- Hybrid Shad from ABT lures. I like the Strike King King Shad, which ABT originally built, and this looks similar but a deeper diver...

- Powell Rod's 7'2" Mod-Fast Medium composite crankbait rod. I have a Powell composite crankbait rods for big deep divers, and I love the thing. Far and away the best cranking rod I've owned. Can't wait to try this one for smaller cranks and jerkbaits, and probably topwaters like poppers too.

Other than that not thinking about too much new stuff - mainly just restocking stuff that got depleted or destroyed.

I am kind of on the fence about the umbrealla rig. I bet it'd kick on open water smallies at times, but don't see how you'd adapt it for MN regs without defeating the purpose. Kind of funny though - look on Tackle Warehouse, and there are 25 different rigs available now. "Me too! Me too!" - the battle cry of the tackle industry...

Cheers,

Anybody tried that new Nanofil line?

I used them on 4 of my ice rods and love b/c they don't leave any memory. Planning on spooling up a line for the new custom cranking rod this spring.

[Basschaser]

I put 10# test on a spinning reel and used it for maybe 5 minutes. I am not sure what to use it for. It blows around in the wind way too much for any type of finesse presentation. It's extremely visible - looks like a laser beam in the water. It might be fine for swim jigs, spinnerbaits, and cranks but I use a casting reel with fluorocarbon for those situations. Casts really nice though!

Larson have you seen the Nose Jobs in person? or anyone? I just ordered some this past weekend and can't wait to get my hands on them to try them out.

My list is pretty short so far,

Paycheck Nose Job

PP Super Slick

Phenix Recon 766- pretty excited about this one

[Larson15]

I haven't seen one in person but will be ordering some to try out.

Got my power pro slick braid in 65lb in the mail yesterday. Hope it works good for froggin and flipping. Using a St Croix Mojo Froggin and flipping 7ft rod and one of my Abu 6500 or 6600
