If Ron got 10% of all the 893's sold in this state he'd be a rich man!
What time does the liquor store open Dan? Now I see why you wanted to spend more time on your golf game! I didn't realize bass fishing could screw with a man's head like that....
keep making good baits,

i use an AR-15 then dive for the lead. after i retrieve all the lead i make my own footballs. i know this is a little eccentric but i think it adds a little character to my unpainted jigs heads. i use a 3/0 gamagatsu jig hook and put nothing else on the jig other than a Yamamoto 176 super grub. i know that is about as boring as this stuff can get but i had to tone it down a bit after my 50 cal bushmaster knocked my sh*t right off the G-damn boat.
Rod : Dobyns DX744 champion extreme series (my favorite Rod) :-)
Reel : Quantum PT Tour (burner series) 7.0:1 ratio
Line : 12lb FC Sniper
JigHead : 3/4 ~ 1oz hand pour Leadhead 3/0 heavywire hook
Bait : twintail grubs mostly
I'm guessing Ryan is using either the BCR893 or BCR864, I use both as well, I really like the extra length I get with the 7'5" senko rod but I like the stouter side of the 7'2" 864 also a senko rod. Both these rods put the nuts to the fish, when using skirted jigs like skinny bear jigs or any football head with a weed guard I opt for the 864 unless the jig head is lighter than 1/2 oz than I will stay with the 894.
Rods:GLX BCR893,BCR864, BSR842(3/8oz and smaller)
Reels: Abu Revo Premier, Daiwa Zillion 7.3:1, Daiwa Sol 2500
Line: As of right now it goes 12# Abrz-x, 15# abrz X and 10# power pro to 8 # abraz x.
Jigheads: standard jig heads with a good hook, I try to keep away from any hook with a round bend for smallies the 111 series from gamkatsu is great, and the style of hook that skinny bear uses is awesome as well.
Baits: anything that will stay on the jig, I experiment with all kinds of stuff, put hula skirts on any bait imaginable but I really like to make my own hula grubs, I like to shorten big double tails down than add a double skirt, seemed to work well for me this year, this gives the fish something way different to look at.
Just a thought......I don't like a skirt around my beaver. I prefer just strait up beaver! It's easier to penetrate when there is less in the way.
