Ham Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I have 4 lb P Line CX Premium on one wimpy rod to throw 1/32 oz jigs. It MIGHT catch less wind and it MIGHT throw better than 6 lb Nano, but I don't know that. Some of the time I get to thinking that mono or copoly might give the trout a little more time to flly get the jig in their mouth. With the no stretch lines, I get a hint the trout is there and jerk as hard as I can and take it away from them. My Bad. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

Clay Goforth Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Add BLACK to that color mix, Dan. Black is a staple. That is all I have to add. Ham covered it perfectly.

JamiePatterson Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I once new a guy who threw a "pinkie tuscadero", but I'm pretty sure he had some sort of mental deficiency -you ever here of a guy like that Clay it JD? Seriously though, what Ham and Clay have said sounds good. Get a few white jigs for the winter or I'd you want to chase browns exclusively. I can't get away from 2lb test. I think the lighter line casts better and doesn't affect the jig in the water as much. It can be tougher to fight the fish, but you gotta hook 'em first lol. See what works for you and what you develope faith in. A fisherman who trusts his gear/method will be more successful than someone who doubts it.
Clay Goforth Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 oh yea, the ol' pinkie tuscadero... who was that dude? Clay Goforth=4px> Trophy Anglers Guild www.TrophyAnglersGuild.com "Happiness resides not in possessions and not in gold; the feeling of happiness dwells in the soul." - Democritus
Members JD Dudley Posted August 11, 2014 Members Posted August 11, 2014 James, that would be Turpin... remember? The guy who ran like a little girl up the stairs in fear for his life when he tried to mess with you while you were sleeping!
Members JD Dudley Posted August 11, 2014 Members Posted August 11, 2014 Oh, and by the way... even though he swears by it, I never actually saw him catch one on pinky
JamiePatterson Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah, I'll never forget THAT Turpin lol!!! His bro is a trout carchin' sucka though! Talking abou those cats makes me think we need to get Tracy up from Tejas for our "not really FATIGUE" weekend. Sorry for totally hijacking this thread... And potentially causing folks to waste time listening to drivel about pinkie tuscaderos, FATIUGE weekends, and some new age-ish "have faith and catch fish" mumbo-jumbo. But seriously, just say no to pink jigs lol...
