j-cubed

I am in the process of tweaking my tackle for the coming season. In the past I had placed split rings on the front of all of my spoons. I was recently told by a pro that if a lure comes with a split ring leave it on, if it comes without a split ring do not add one. I have also read both, that it was best to have split rings on all spoons and not to have split rings on any spoons because it hurts the action. Of course now I can't remember which spoons came with rings and which did not. So now I am removing all split rings. Any thoughts or past experiences with split rings and spoons will be appreciated.

Hockey Puck, Thanks for the complement. The Grady was my dream boat too. I bought it new in 1997 and have loved it ever since. It was more money than I had planned on spending. I was kind of lucky that my wife's boss had a Grady, so she said "why don't you get the Grady". I wasn't about to argue with her. You know they are always right and she was. Some guys have their cars or bikes. I have the Grady. I feel that they are one of the top five fishing boats out there. J-cubed

Hi, My name is Jim. My boat is a Grady White Adventure 208 named J-cubed. It is docked at my place in Au Gres on Saginaw Bay. Although I have fished all over the Great Lakes and North America for many different species and still do on occasions. I now fish primarily for walleye and perch on the Bay. I'm retired now and plan on spending more time on the water chasing Mr. Marble Eyes. If you hear me on the bay give me a shout and we can exchange info. Glad to be on board. Jim
