How to Swing a Jig While Working a Drift

Presentation is King! I've said it a thousand times, and it's because there's a code to crack to get those fish to bite with aggression. And some presentations are just irresistible, like the one I show here. You can see how eagerly they bite when you get it just how they're looking for it. Every day brings a new challenge to presenting your lure perfectly, so having a quiver of presentations a...

    I have both also and yes coastmaster is a better chart but navionics isn't as bad as you made it out to be here. 1) you didn't let the sonar charts finish loading, there is more detail, 1 foot contour lines and you missed the one big thing Navionics has going for it - RELIEF SHADING.

There really is a learning curve on how to handle and move heavy objects and it looks like you have it dialed.I have a Vevor boat dolly and it’s a game changer on moving the kayak.

    Great idea! Only thing I might do differently would be to use a rope loop and pull from the center of your extender. These extenders are not made for rotational torque around the T-joint, but more for vertical support. I backed up into post with my old steel extender (I have a Boonedox now), barely felt the thump and twisted the steel T-joint.

    Alan, Thanks for the great review. Do you ever find that either of the 2 styles you reviewed interfere with wearing a ball cap. I have found that if the "tail" of the frames ( the part behind your ears) has more of a curve downward, they fit me much more comfortably while wearing a ball cap. Often i will get "ear fatigue" from my hat pushing down on the frames at the ears. These both seem to have a straighter tail.

    Which one is narrower on the nose? Because i have a insanely thin nose. And some sunglasses dont fit because the nose bridge is to wide. So, can you tell by having them side by side, can you see if one is slightly narrower then the other? And if so which one is the more narrow?

      I have been wearing latex neck gaskets forever, so they don't bother me at all. At first they may be a little snug, so I stretch them over a large can/jar for a day or two. Neoprene isn't really a full dry suit. Water can get through that. As far as that particular suit, I don't have experience, but that's typically the trade off.
