I'm able to feel bites with a lot of slack thanks to Nanofil and good gear. 2) overworking the bait is a very valid point and something to watch out for. I fish a variety of retreives and try to repeat what works. I really doubt I would catch 4 times more fish going "no touchy" full time. I use a lot of controlled slack and dead sticking. I don't feel a lot of my bites, but I enjoy the ones I feel. 3) it is impossible to overstate the impact of being in front of the boat. Two equally skilled fisherman using the same bait and similar techniques , the guy in front is going to out catch the guy in the back 2:1 Full props to Dave for nudging me into trying the Ned rig again and for lots and lots of great advice along the way. You won't go wrong following his advice to the letter. IMO, he has worked out the best jig head in existence. Any contrarian comments by me while honest and heartfelt shouldn't be taken as anything more than nitpicking or the ramblings of a misguided heretic. Do not surrender to the dark side. Easier, more seductive it is. mixermarkb and Ham 2
Ham Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 SuperDave you can Watch all three Yoga with Yoda DVD's if you want to. I want to feel that thump (at least some of the time). Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

rps Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Dave, the Crazy Alberto is really the best slick braid to co-poly knot. Use a 12 to 15 foot leader so you can break off/retie several times before you need to tie on a new leader. For myself, I just say no. The whole spool is full of 5# Maxima. Ham and mixermarkb 2
dtrs5kprs Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 Yep. I'm only in on braid for specific applications. Albright works fine for as little as I use it. Lot better than the uni to uni was. mixermarkb and DChance 2
