| I have been using the plastic tubed jimmy. Six strikes one hook up... in one day!! they have been hitting it side ways coming out of the water... bite marks but they aren't getting hooked. Common? |

Location: new berlin | Try putting a split ring on the front of lure where you connect it to your leader attached with another hook, maybe there hitting just the head/ upper section of bait |

| Here's a slightly different take: I take the Jimmy and cut off the whole back-end (tail) and use it that way also adding the split-ring in the front. Now, you might be thinking, "why do that, why not just use a tube altogether?" Well, it's a completely different thing this way with the leader connecting directly "in-line" not at all like a regular jig set-up where the leader connects on top and slightly to the rear. So, what you get instead of a jigging bait that lifts and sinks, is a glide bait that is going to work remarkably like a Phantom, Twisted Sucker, Hellhound etc. but not with all that weight that becomes a crowbar for prying away your musky. You just have to do this to see what happens. The added plus is that you will often find a complete bargain bin full of these from time to time for like five bucks apiece. Honestly, this might be the best "free" tip I've shared and you heard it here for the very first time! |

| Junkman look into Water Wolf's casting rig 13" Gator Tube. They come stock doing exactly what you are describing. Unfortunately I've yet to find them in a bargain bin... |
