I'm going to take a page out of BLat's playbook and answer your question with a question or 2.  What type of jig fishing are we talking about?  Flipping into heavy cover?  Maybe swimming a jig down a the edge of some grass?  Are you fishing an area/lake where there is a lot of fishing pressure?

If you are flipping blow downs or heavy vegetation, I would think straight braid, in fact I might even go straight braid anyway.  The one exception I might make would be if there is a lot of fishing pressure and your just not getting bites.  I'd more likely switch bait in that scenario, tbh.

Even if we don’t get selected, we can still rally as a community and help each other prepare for tournaments and give ourselves the best opportunity to be successful.

Mark Jonas My advice would be to take a serious look at that falcon boat that BLat did the introductory video on for the money that’s a hell of a boat and you’re starting out way ahead of where you would in a tracker for just a few more dollars

In fact, cough cough at BLAT, I’d be happy to represent that boat dealership by running one of those new falcon boats this BFL season

BROooo, you didn't let me drive?   lmao JK.  I can't get enough.  SUF could have a quarterly get together or "on-site training" and I'd be down.

Back in August I took my boat to the local Cabela's for a warranty issue which required having parts sent from Tracker warranty services.  The issue did not render the boat unusable.  Two weeks ago, the parts finally arrived, and I dropped off the boat to be repaired. After a number of calls in an effort to get a status, I went to the service center and noticed my boat sitting outside in their "cage".  No work had been done and my boat sat out there through 3 days of rain with all my gear in it.  Granted my mistake for not removing my gear and putting the cover on the boat.  The short version. They have not communicated any updates throughout this process unless I was in their face, which is a big deal to me.   At this point I'm seriously thinking about trading it in.
