Wow, if I had 2000 jigs to tie I would just quit and throw in the towel. I hope you can bust those things out in 30 seconds each!! :lol:

Are you seriously that sensitive? I was just trying to joke around. It really would help if I could read your posts better though. I don't even take offense to what your wrote back because I couldn't understand half of what you typed. I'm no bully. I just thought a subtle hint would help out. There are spell checkers you can get. They help me out a lot. I really don't think I'd act like that if someone joked with me about my typing skills. Geese, let's act our own age.

Firefox has a built in spell check if you need it. Its a good browser.

Getting back to jig fishing, I'd like to ask Mike123, or anyone else, how frequently, if ever, he uses a shotting pattern. Also, how long is the line that the shotting pattern is set on, say 18 in. maybe. This all seems like a good deal of fiddle faddle, but it looks good and makes sense. Just seems like a lot of time rigging and less time fishing, though you could make these up before hand. Another issue is that often when I use shot on a line below a float I tend to get a lot of tangles.
Also, Thanks for all the tips

I only use it if I'm fishing bait for steelhead and I'm not fishing realy deep fast water. I often use one large shot under my float, then a medium one a bit further down, then a small one just above my leader then the jig. I don't think you need to use so many shot. Doens't take much time to put on 3 or 4 split shot. Only time I ever use those big banana or in-line weights is when Im salmon fishing. Honestly if your jig fishing, the shot pattern isn't that important because your jig is the main weight and it cuts through the water. Also those shotting patterns are desinged for center pin basically.. since your holding back on the float like mentioned in the article.

Yeah, I would not spend to much time on shotting patterns, a couple splits work great and what Mike said is a good option.

heres my 2 cents . i never , and i mean never , head to the river with only one tool . i always take my bobber rod , (a 9.6 lammy fly blank made into a spinning rod ) , and my drift rod . some times they hit jigs , some times they dont . some times the water calls for a drift , some times a float . i have always said it , and i will say it again , the more tools you learn how to use , will make you that much better of a fisherman . lots of fish come to me using a bobber -jig/bait . even so , lots of fish come while drifting a cork/yarn . water conditions / location , tells me which tool to use . my fave is drifting though . those winter steel just SLAM a cork and yarn ! ! and i really mean SLAM ! ! !

Hey what are the specs on that fly blank? I've been asking around this forum for awhile if anyone has a float rod made from a fly blank. I'd like to get one tied up! Thanks

FISHHEADMAFIA
not really all that sure . this i know , discontinued blank from lammy , rick in sandy got a hell of a deal on a entire lot of mixed blanks , spinnners , drifters , trouters , fly . all kinds of stuff . mine is 9.6ft , 7/8 weight , its a smokin rod . action all the way to the butt . model # ? not sure , but it si discountinued anyway. guides are kind of heavy , but it offsets the light weight blank , with the weight of a spinning reel . if that makes sense . you would have to hit a fish on it to get the feel of action all the way down . it is a way different rod than anything i have ever fished with , in a awsome way . pick a blank , and build a spinner out of it . or a drifter . gary loomis got his start that way .Mike123 said:

That is rite on the gary loomis thing. He started with a fly rod blank built a sping rod. People where willing to pay 250 to 300 for one back then that was over 20 years ago. but i will say a 9'6" sing hand rod make a grate float or siddrifting rod i am looking at a 10'6" spay blank for my new float rod.FISHHEADMAFIA said:
mike 123 i have a good freind that owns a rod building company he only does custom work and does an awsome job he can take clay molds of your grip and for arm and mold the cork to fit your grip and arm with a 2 piace butt and titanum eyes it helps make a liter and funer to fish rod
