Hello from Florida

Greetings Jighead!

Hey John, how come they call So-Cal an "Empire"?

I've had a few baitcasters, wasn't the best at casting, but I'm hoping my thumb learned a thing or two and I can transfer that experience over to the jigmaster.

I have posted this trick a few times and helps make untangling backlash less work.

#1, START WITH MONO..

Strip off a bit more line than you are trying to cast and tape the spool.  Wind the line over the tape and start casting.  The backlash can not go past the tape.

WELCOME, You have come to the right place.  If it can be done to a Jiggy these guys have done it.  Bill

Not John, but let me take a stab at that from a NorCal perspective.


The "Inland  Empire" is not all of SoCal, just that bowl around Orange County with vague borders.  Its origin is a real estate promotional scheme from some time around the turn of the century.

They had to come up with something sexier than "A hot dry desert bowl with no view of the ocean." 

There is also an "Inland Empire" in the  Pacific Northwest, and another somewhere in the Midwest, and probably other places too.

Now this post is empirical.  Good work Dave.  Dominick
