Roger on'nat, Mr. Andy.  I got it bad.

[Kasilofchrisn]

Kasil, how do You like to throw 'em?

I fish them for trout. No bass here in AK.
Sometimes trolled.
Usually thrown to the edge of weedbeds when we are casting mepps and fished the same way.

We've got plenty of fish and some good ones at that.
I'll take my salmon and Halibut over bass anyday!
The average Kenai river red salmon is 6#.
The silver salmon fight way better than bass do and average bigger than the reds.
Our Halibut are often thrown back if they are not 20# or bigger and. 50#-100# are not uncommon.
So I guess I just don't need bass(and yes I've caught bass before).
Alaska is considered a fisherman's paradise by many people!
To each his own but I feel bass are overrated anyway.

Oh Good...a fish feud.....and I'm not in it.

I'm with you Chris. Alaska is a magical place. If you haven't been, you owe it to yourself to visit. Plan at least a couple weeks in July or August starting July 15. Sorry for the thread creep, BKJ.

[Kasilofchrisn]

I'm sure some of BKJ's jigs would catch some Alaskan fish.
Lamar and ctom are also welcome here.
Nothing wrong with bass but not my cup of tea.
Especially since they don't reside in my state.

Funny you say this....Carole and I are looking at a cruise up that way for this summer. Lots of options and we're still studying. She's also got her eye on Reno/Lake Tahoe/Denny Welch destination.

Right now I'm getting the snowblower and shovels ready for tomorrows blizzard that's predicted. Maybe a foot of snow.

  I have fished the inside passage all the way to Alaska and the fishing was second to none. We caught so many salmon we lost count after the first day. Was just joking on the bass part. I'll have to say I would take fishing in a remote wilderness lake in Northern Canada over that most any day. Only because I love fishing walleye and big northerns over fishing for salmon and trout. But I also will say I can't wait to go back. It was an incredible journey and one worth doing again. Not sure I could live in Alaska but just south of you is Vancouver. That is the coolest city I have ever been to.

Carole didn't say anything about you being there.

[ctom]

Carole didn't say anything about you being there.

And your little lady said she thought you'd be gone.

[Muskygary]

And both of you to old to do anything! LOL (Dream On)

Even with the 1/8 oz. SSR, the 4" Finesse Worm on the Frame with the Hildebrandt 3.5 Willow, the Blade Torque from the 3.5 was a little much and the Rig ran slightly crooked too much of the time for me.  Same 1/8 oz. 'Head and 4" FW on the Frame with the #3 Hildebrandt Willow did a bit better in running more true.  Through a Slow-Medium Retrieve Speed Range the bait swayed very nice, side-to-side.

And the fact that these are Weedless is truly the Sauce on the Pasta.  If I'd had these through all my years, I would have saved enough money to buy myself a Calcutta Conquest 200, or 2, by not losing so many Spinners/Spinnerbaits to snags!
