Don't know who will all read this, but the bassers definately helped out my situation as I landed well over 20 bass this weekend in some farm ponds and only lost 3 total....0 due to jumping...I've developed the rod tip in the water realing this way and that like a mad man technique and it worked out well....big fish was about 16 1/2"...had to downsize bigtime as I was using a black/metallic blue speckled white tube...1 1/2 inches on a 1/16 jig...fish were hitting very very light...light action rod with either 6 or 8 lb test and still could barely feel it....Thanks all and to Mr.Postman(catking) you picked the right place!!!
