Table Rock Magic Bait?

[Seth]

For anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to the Biffle Hard Head, one of OAF's sponsors Swing Oil Baits sells their verson for about half as much:

Tons of powder paint colors to choose from too...

I was about to post the same info.

For those who want to be able to change hooks on the swivel jigheads, Punisher Lures makes one called the Hail Mary with a ring.

For all of our efforts, do we know what Davis was throwing it on? Obviously it was a casting rod, but what line?

I've been throwing it on 15# just like a football jig, but that has been dragging it, not swimming it. Might make a big difference.

Read somewhere it was 17# floro

Pretty much the best post event written coverage I have seen.

Guess my 15# will be just fine. Goofy lake.

You don't need as much light line as one would think on our clearwater lakes. The A-rig has blown that of the water. Although at times sensitivity goes a long ways. It is whatever one feels comfortable throwing.

I agree, I get asked all the time about fishing line but the A-rig changes your whole aspect of line size

Since the out come of the rig I have changed lines to different sizes just to do my own studys and I haven't notice

me catching any less fish. But there is a time and a place for different line sizes and kinds but thats a whole

another consevation

I use 20lb florocarbon 100% of the time.

Swimming, dragging, hopping doesnt matter.

also 7' heavy action rod is a good idea

I used to never throw anything under 12. Now all I use is about 10lb invisix and 15 on jigs and topwaters. I really like the longer cast you can get with the 10lb plus just the over all feel you have with your lure.

Yep, standard FB jig rod is what I have used, and it seems to work. Use the same for bigger jika rigs. Was just one of those information gaps that was going to bug me. No pun intended.
