That's great, Steve! That needs to be on the Top 10 List of Best Prayers Ever!
Thanks for sharing, Jim! I see that same jighead maker has another style jighead called a Screwhead, that has a propellor on it. Vibration might be useful when fishing muddy water. Have you tried...
Congratulations on your retirement and new freedom! :)
