I'll never forget a day I went to go blackfishing on a Party boat. The Captain came down and said:
Today is a day to fish for people that do not know any better. If you want to leave, I'll understand."
The blackfish were chewing. But Saturday I couldn't buy a nibble. Maybe time to hang it up. In a small center console boat, its cold out there.
Which brings me to another point. How do you keep your hands warm??
Your care seems excellent. The only thing that comes to mind is that the leather sheath is wet. Try storing them outside the sheath and see if that helps. Put the back after your sure the leather is dry, or you need to go fishing.

The second guy used Blackfish Jigs
The third used a snafu rig.
They caught more than me. But I think I just have to get the...
Are they cheaper for a small, 17-foot boat?
I have spots I can get to with a kayak that would get me concerned with my boat.
When I heard the cost, I never considered one. Now I see they can be used for trolling and spot lock. Plus, I have never been great at staying on a spot even with 2...
Funny how many ways there are to get a sharp knife. I love to buy butter knives. Then let everyone get toghether with their favorite method and see the end results.
