Sure they work out of the package but so do most of the other baits we modify. Does that make any sense at all? Jigs, like most other baits, seem to work their best once they\u2019ve been chewed on a few times. Since I\u2019m not willing to spend the day pre-chewing my own jigs the next best bet is to make it look like I did.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/download.jpg\" alt=\"download\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-131897\"><\/p>\n<p>There is definitely something special about a jig that has the \u201cit\u201d factor. One of these days I\u2019ll get around to fully explaining this factor but for now its the magical \u201csomething\u201d that makes one bait work better than all of it\u2019s identical counterparts. Here is a shining example of a jig with \u201cit\u201d. This is a 3\/4 oz Dirty Jigs No-Jack jig in the color \u201cmolting craw\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Its been responsible for 4 fish over 9 lbs and a handful of others over the 7 lb mark. (Yes, all of those scratches are from bass teeth) Why does this one work so well? I don\u2019t know! The important part to understand is simply that it does. I know the day will come when I lose this jig. Instead of waiting for another one to get beat up enough to start developing \u201cit\u201d I\u2019m going to skip a major part of the curve. If you follow these simple steps to modify your jigs and give them more of a mottled look they will be much more appealing to big bass.<br \/>\nIf your goal is to catch any little fish that will bite its not all that hard to do and any old jig will do. In fact, don\u2019t bother modifying your baits at all. On the other hand, if your goal is to catch a GIANT, whatever that may be to you, then do everything you can to put the odds in your favor. Don\u2019t go down the bank throwing the same jig as everyone else. Make your bait look more real than any other jig that big bass has ever seen and then cross your fingers that today is her day.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pCfL2ZuhBrQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/.post-content <!-- --><\/p>\n<div class=\"social-share clearfix\">\t \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon facebook-k\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/simple-jig-modifications\/&amp;t=Simple Jig Modifications\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Share this on Facebook<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon twitter-k\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Simple Jig Modifications&amp;url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/simple-jig-modifications\/\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Tweet This<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon pinterest-k\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/simple-jig-modifications\/&amp;media=&amp;description=By%3A+Tactical+Bassin+We+custom+paint+crankbaits%2C+change+blades+on+spinnerbaits%2C+pour+our+own+worms%2C+why+on+earth+don%E2%80%99t+more+people+customize+their+jigs%3F+Sure+they+work+out+of+the+package+but+so+do+most+of+the+other+baits+we+modify.+Does+that+make+any+sense+at+all%3F+Jigs%2C+like+most+other+baits%2C+seem+to+%5B%26hellip%3B%5D\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Pin it<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- \/.post <!-- --><\/p>\n<article class=\"post-131894 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tips\">\n<header> \t\t\t<time datetime=\"2015-03-26\">March 26 2015<\/time><\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"\/top-5-baits-bed-fishing\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Top 5 Baits For Bed Fishing\">Top 5 Baits For Bed Fishing<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<section class=\"post-content\">\n<section class=\"entry\">By: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tacticalbassin.com\/blog\/top-5-baits-for-bed-fishing\" target=\"_BLANK\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tactical Bassin<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Love it or hate it, bed fishing is a great way to catch the biggest bass of the year. If you live in warmer parts of the country you\u2019re probably already seeing the beginning of the spawn. We sat down with the camera this week to bring you the Top 5 Baits that will help you fool those feisty spawning bass.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d30cGYl0TGs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The key to sight fishing is to treat every bed as a new opportunity to start fresh. The bait that caught the last fish might not work on the next. Each fish has its own preferences so don\u2019t be afraid to rotate through your arsenal of rods until you\u2019ve found the bait that works best.<\/p>\n<p>My top 5 choices:<\/p>\n<p>1) Jig w\/ Craw Trailer: 3\/8 to 1\/2 oz Dirty Jigs Pitchin\u2019 Jig coupled with a beaver-style or double tail grub trailer. This profile allows me to present a large bait but still have a compact enough profile that the fish can easily engulf it.<\/p>\n<p>2) Swim Jig: 3\/8 to 1\/2 oz California Swim Jig in Alabama Bream or Tactical Shad coupled with a matching Keitech or Sizmic Shad. With a swim jig I can hop or swim the jig, depending on the mood of the fish.<\/p>\n<p>3)Bluegill Imitator: My two favorite bluegill imitators are the Mattlures Bluegill (boot or flat tail) and the Basstrix in \u201cPerch\u201d color. The mattlures gives me that large swimbait profile whereas the basstrix is a very finesse, slow presentation that can really irritate those hard to catch bass.<\/p>\n<p>4) 3.5\u2033 Tube: The tube is a deadly bait on all bass but its especially deadly with spots and smallmouth. I find a 3.5\u2033 to be best but you can drop down to a 2.5 if the fish are picking the bait up by the tails.<\/p>\n<p>5) The Senko: Who can argue with the senko? 5\u2033 or 6\u2033 is your choice but if you use a bright color (White Or Chartreuse) and a natural color (Green Pumpkin Or Watermelon) you\u2019ll find a bait that the fish are willing to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Please remember that bed fishing is a great time to catch the fish of a lifetime but its also a critical time during a bass\u2019 life cycle. Treat the fish with care and always return them to the bed quickly so they can successfully finish the spawning process.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/.post-content <!-- --><\/p>\n<div class=\"social-share clearfix\">\t \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon facebook-k\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/top-5-baits-bed-fishing\/&amp;t=Top 5 Baits For Bed Fishing\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Share this on Facebook<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon twitter-k\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Top 5 Baits For Bed Fishing&amp;url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/top-5-baits-bed-fishing\/\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Tweet This<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon pinterest-k\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/top-5-baits-bed-fishing\/&amp;media=&amp;description=By%3A+Tactical+Bassin+Love+it+or+hate+it%2C+bed+fishing+is+a+great+way+to+catch+the+biggest+bass+of+the+year.+If+you+live+in+warmer+parts+of+the+country+you%26%238217%3Bre+probably+already+seeing+the+beginning+of+the+spawn.+We+sat+down+with+the+camera+this+week+to+bring+you+the+Top+5+Baits+%5B%26hellip%3B%5D\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Pin it<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- \/.post <!-- --><\/p>\n<article class=\"post-131892 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-tips\">\n<header> \t\t\t<time datetime=\"2015-03-25\">March 25 2015<\/time><\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"\/spybaiting-technique-silent-capture\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Spybaiting \u2013 The Technique of Silent Capture\">Spybaiting \u2013 The Technique of Silent Capture<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<section class=\"post-content\">\n<section class=\"entry\">By: <a href=\"http:\/\/rahfish.com\/spybaiting-the-technique-of-silent-capture\/\" target=\"_BLANK\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Anders<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Spybaiting-the-silent-capture-500x223.jpg\" alt=\"Spybaiting-the-silent-capture-500x223\" width=\"500\" height=\"223\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-131893\"><\/p>\n<p>Spybaiting is a technique that has made it\u2019s way to North America via Japan and really began to get noticed mid to late this past season. When I first saw the technique what I really saw was how the subtle nature and general versatility would give fish that live in pressured bodies of water a different look and it is no surprise it has garnered some attention from other anglers, including some top level pros. It struck me the same way the drop shot did when I first saw it, a way to present a bait to a fish in a way they haven\u2019t been hammered with over and over. Its not the erratic jerkbait, the pounding of a spinnerbait or the shake of a drop shot worm. Spybaiting is a horizontal, subtle, contour tracing technique that fish chew!<\/p>\n<p>To learn about the bait, gear and retrieve to effectively use the spybaiting technique see below:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CshNV5L7BYc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bait<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bait it\u2019s looks very mush like a smaller jerkbait with the front diving lip replaced with small props at both the nose and the tail. The bait tends to be a bit smaller than the average hardbait, most on the 80mm length. The body of the bait has a slight contour which allows the propulsion of the prop to send water along the body creating what is know as the \u201cplume\u201d effect. The bait has a slight side to side roll and shakes very similar to a senko as it falls. Some of the best baits on the market right now are made by Duo Realis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gear Used<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being a finesse technique the setup I use is for spybaiting is almost identical to my drop shot setup. Light line is an absolute key to the technique as the fish get a good look at the slow moving bait, however, even important thin line diameter is crucial to get the proper action. A braid mainline in the 10 pound test range with a 6 pound test fluorocarbon leader is a standard with spybaiting.<\/p>\n<p>Light line combined with small treble hooks requires a longer rod with a fast tip to absorb the fight of the big fish that tend to swallow the bait.  I use a 6\u201910\u201d Medium Light, Fast Action, Fenwick Elite Tech as my go to. The longer rod gives me the shock absorption I need as well as provides leverage for a good long cast in clear water.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to a reel I\u2019m looking for a spinning reel with smooth drag and high line capacity. The baits are typically in the 3\/8oz range and in making casts as long as possible I want to make sure I have a big spool to allow for the long casts and smooth drag to take care of the light line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spybaiting is a technique for the patient. The retrieve is a slow, steady retrieve and the goal is to trace the contour the fish are holding on. If the fish are suspended in the water column you can trace the contour they are sitting at, or count the bait down closer to the bottom and trace the depth or break line the fish are relating to. The biggest mistake an angler can make is trying to impart action into the bait with the rod or by varying retrieve speed. The draw to the bait is the smooth steady motion and the natural rocking action and gentle pulsation created by the props. Pack you patience and you\u2019ll get it right.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, many see spybaiting to hard bait fishing what the drop shot was to sof tbait fishing when it first appeared. It\u2019s a way to give a bass a different look and feel, which everyone knows puts more fish in the livewell. Pick up a few spybaits and next time you hit the water, tie that small hard bait with a couple of props to your drop shot setup, use some patience to slowly trace a contour and hold on tight!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/.post-content <!-- --><\/p>\n<div class=\"social-share clearfix\">\t \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon facebook-k\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/spybaiting-technique-silent-capture\/&amp;t=Spybaiting \u2013 The Technique of Silent Capture\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Share this on Facebook<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon twitter-k\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Spybaiting \u2013 The Technique of Silent Capture&amp;url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/spybaiting-technique-silent-capture\/\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Tweet This<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon pinterest-k\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/spybaiting-technique-silent-capture\/&amp;media=&amp;description=By%3A+Aaron+Anders+Spybaiting+is+a+technique+that+has+made+it%E2%80%99s+way+to+North+America+via+Japan+and+really+began+to+get+noticed+mid+to+late+this+past+season.+When+I+first+saw+the+technique+what+I+really+saw+was+how+the+subtle+nature+and+general+versatility+would+give+fish+that+live+in+pressured+bodies+%5B%26hellip%3B%5D\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Pin it<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- \/.post <!-- --><\/p>\n<article class=\"post-129475 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-videos\">\n<header> \t\t\t<time datetime=\"2015-03-21\">March 21 2015<\/time><\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"\/video-california-record-spotted-bass\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"Video of California Record Spotted Bass\">Video of California Record Spotted Bass<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<section class=\"post-content\">\n<section class=\"entry\">By: <a href=\"http:\/\/wired2fish.scout.com\/story\/1526566-video-of-california-record-spotted-bass?s=537\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wired2Fish<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qcpcFiFw8lE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This bass has been certified by the state of California as the state record.

Towards the end of last season I started to experiment with something called the MJ Rig, I knew after catching a chunk 3-pounder on the first cast I made with the rig that this could be something great! The rig is quite simple but gives the fish a slightly different look than what they are used to seeing. They can\u2019t help but chew on it if for no other reason than to figure out what it is.<\/p>\n<p>To see how to rig and fish the MJ Rig take a quick look at the video tip or read below to how to get setup.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BrPvqrPcCBg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rigging<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At it\u2019s core the MJ Rig is nothing more than a Texas Rigged Senko with typically a willow leaf blade attached to the back using a hitch-hiker. There are a number of companies that now manufacture an assembled version of the blade portion of the rig, however, if you would like to make your own all you need it a few hitch hikers, a high quality swivel with split rings and usually about a #3 willow leaf blade.  To assemble the blade portion of the rig yourself, attach the blade to the spilt ring on one end of the swivel and the hitch hiker to the other end of that same swivel. From there I snip off a small piece of the narrow end of the senko to give me a bit more surface area to screw the hitch hiker into. Once I have screwed the hitch hiker into the back end of the senko, I Texas Rig the senko just like any other soft plastic using a 4\/0 hook and a 1\/8oz or 1\/4oz tungsten weight. You don\u2019t need a big weight with the rig, you\u2019ll be surprised how much weight that blade on the back really adds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gear<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I fish the MJ Rig using the same gear I would fish a Texas Rig or a jig with on deeper grass lines as that is exactly where I have been using the rig the most. For me that is a 7\u20193\u201d Medium Heavy \u2013 Fast Action Abu Garcia Veritas rod paired with a Revo Rocket  spooled with 17 or 20 pound test fluorocarbon. For me I\u2019ve really moved to fluorocarbon when fishing grass unless there are other pieces of cover like wood around to cause problems. I feel like I have good feel with the fluoro and I believe it gives me the chance at an extra bite or two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technique<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When fishing the MJ Rig I really try to focus on areas that have a fair bit of grass, a relatively defined edge and with enough water depth above the grass to be able to swim the rig along. I\u2019m making a long cast, letting the rig fall until it reaches either  the bottom of settles into the top of the grass bed. If I\u2019ve made my cast along the edge of the grass-line and my bait is in more open water or sparse grass I\u2019m going to lift my rod tip and let the rig fall back to  the bottom and continue this retrieve at a consistent pace but while keeping some bottom contact. If my cast has been made to the middle of the grass bed I will have a more steady retrieve keeping my rod tip up and hopping the rig along the top of the grass.

These new products afford us the ability to fish existing baits and techniques in new ways, giving us better results on the water. That is exactly what Penetration Hooks has done with their variety of creative long-shank, offset hook designs. Pen Hooks has taken the offset shank worm hook and \u201cbuilt a better mouse trap\u201d out of it. Pen Hooks currently offers several different sizes and a few different styles of their new hooks, to cover techniques from finesse to flippin.<\/p>\n<p>Having covered Pen Hooks in a Rahfish product overview already, we thought it was time to take them to the water and REALLY put them to the test.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Get-hooked-on-a-new-concept-img1.jpg\" alt=\"Get-hooked-on-a-new-concept-img1\" width=\"500\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-129461\"><\/p>\n<p>The 2\/0 model \u201cH\u201d hook is their lightest wire model great for using in drop shot or Carolina rig techniques. Recently testing the \u201cH\u201d hook rigged with 12lb test Seaguar InvisX, a 1\/4oz drop shot weight and a 6\u2033 Roboworm to \u201cbubba shot\u201d on the California delta, the results were better than expected.  The fish that were finicky and hard to catch had no choice but to grab ahold of the longer Pen hook. Because it can be rigged in a Weedless fashion, much like a Texas rig, this is a great way to fish a drop shot in heavily vegetated areas. Pen also offers a slightly heavier \u201cG\u201d model which is also effective when paired up soft plastics like the Zoom Fluke, Yamamoto Senko or the Zoom Trick Worm.  The possibilities go on and on.<\/p>\n<p>Get hooked on a new concept \u2013 Marin ElriteFor the power fishermen out there Pen Hooks offers a 4\/0 size, the model \u201cA\u201d hook. This is a heavy duty wire, extra long shaft flipping hook that works great on larger worms, lizards and Swimbaits. Recently my Team partner Andrew Martin Schadegg and I put a twenty-five pound limit of bass in the boat during a the recent Lucas Oil tournament on the California delta while fishing 10\u2033 Berkley Power Worms with a 1\/4oz bullet weight. Again, because of the bass\u2019 short strikes, Pen Hooks gave us a distinct advantage when fishing this big bait technique. We caught several bass in the seven pound class and many more in the three pound range, and the heavy duty wire never straightened out. We also noticed the barb on all the Pen Hooks to be slightly larger than other brands and kept ahold of the fish extremely well.<\/p>\n<p>The Pen Hooks testing phase was a definite success.  As young of a company as they are, Pen Hooks isn\u2019t only here to stay, but they are here to grow.  Weather you prefer finesse fishing or power flippin\u2019, make sure to take a closer look at Pen Hooks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/.post-content <!-- --><\/p>\n<div class=\"social-share clearfix\">\t \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon facebook-k\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/get-hooked-new-concept\/&amp;t=Get Hooked On A New Concept\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Share this on Facebook<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon twitter-k\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Get Hooked On A New Concept&amp;url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/get-hooked-new-concept\/\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Tweet This<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon pinterest-k\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/get-hooked-new-concept\/&amp;media=&amp;description=By%3A+Zak+Elrite+and+Andrew+Martin+Every+now+and+then+a+product+comes+along+in+the+fishing+industry+that+truly+changes+the+game.+These+new+products+afford+us+the+ability+to+fish+existing+baits+and+techniques+in+new+ways%2C+giving+us+better+results+on+the+water.+That+is+exactly+what+Penetration+Hooks+has+done+with+%5B%26hellip%3B%5D\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Pin it<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- \/.post <!-- --><\/p>\n<article class=\"post-128783 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-videos\">\n<header> \t\t\t<time datetime=\"2015-03-13\">March 13 2015<\/time><\/p>\n<h1><a href=\"\/fish-ponds\/\" rel=\"bookmark\" title=\"How To Fish Ponds\">How To Fish Ponds<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/header>\n<section class=\"post-content\">\n<section class=\"entry\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TQjycWXH9wE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In this months \u201cHow \u2013 to\u201d video, Tackle Grab pro Travis Moran shows how productive small bodies of water can be using Castaic\u2019s  NEW shakin shad to quickly locate fish in the shallows. \u2026.<\/p>\n<p>#Tightlines<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<p><!--\/.post-content <!-- --><\/p>\n<div class=\"social-share clearfix\">\t \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon facebook-k\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/fish-ponds\/&amp;t=How To Fish Ponds\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Share this on Facebook<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon twitter-k\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=How To Fish Ponds&amp;url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/fish-ponds\/\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Tweet This<\/span><\/a>  \t<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"tg-icon pinterest-k\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/tacklegrab.com\/fish-ponds\/&amp;media=&amp;description=In+this+months+%26%238220%3BHow+%26%238211%3B+to%26%238221%3B+video%2C+Tackle+Grab+pro+Travis+Moran+shows+how+productive+small+bodies+of+water+can+be+using+Castaic%26%238217%3Bs+NEW+shakin+shad+to+quickly+locate+fish+in+the+shallows.+%26%238230%3B.+%23Tightlines\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"hidden\">Pin it<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><!-- \/.post <!-- --><\/p>\n<nav class=\"pagination woo-pagination\"><span class=\"page-numbers current\">1<\/span> <a class=\"page-numbers\" href=\"\/tips-tricks\/page\/2\/\">2<\/a> <span class=\"page-numbers dots\">\u2026<\/span> <a class=\"page-numbers\" href=\"\/tips-tricks\/page\/15\/\">15<\/a> <a class=\"next page-numbers\" href=\"\/tips-tricks\/page\/2\/\">Next \u2192<\/a><\/nav>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- \/#main <!-- --><\/p>\n<aside id=\"sidebar\" class=\"col-right\">\n<div class=\"primary\">\n<section class=\"widget bait-delivery clearfix\">Get a box of baits delivered to your door each month.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/subscribe\" class=\"btn\">Subscribe Now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"widget follow-subscribe clearfix\">\n<h4>Follow &amp;
