Limp-Legged and Gut Shot

Not much to report. I’ve missed several wade fishing and whiskey buying opportunities in Baxter County. Not as terrible as it sounds, I’m saving my nickels for a couple of rods for M and I’s Mexican honeymoon.

So I’ve spent the last few weekends assembling a new bass box. More ridiculous, and much larger than the ‘09 collection.  

Here is the “gig jig.” Neutrally buoyant at 6 inches under, and a bear to tie. I had intended for them to float high with a little sink on the ass end, but dem legs are too heaavvy. So I settled with a sub-surface frog and added some # 6 steel shot in its lacquered guts for a bit of noise. 

I figure it can be fished with short jigs on a sink tip, or on floating line with medium length strips, and I don’t think the gig jig would mind chasing a fat, brown chenille worm in a two fly rig.

Love,
