These lures give you a very accurate feel on the line, and are one of the most effective lures. The common plastic skirting attracts bass all year round. Bass will usually hit a bait while it is falling, so after it has sat on the bottom for a bit give the rod tip a small twitch to see if anything has picked up your bait. To fish a jig cast out and give the line plenty of time to hit the bottom. Jigs and plastics are fished differently than other types of lures. Instead of reeling in to produce the "action", the bait is retrieved by moving the rod tip. After the bait has hit the bottom and you have given it a twitch, slowly lift the rod tip until it points straight up in the 12 o'clock position. Let it sit there for a moment and then drop it down to the 9 - 10 o'clock position and reel in the slack. Repeat these steps until your line is in. You'll have to have a good feel for your line to tell when a fish is biting so most people hold their finger against the line while lifting the rod tip. Look for sudden resistance or bumping on the line, a line that goes slack suddenly or veers sideways. To set the hook, drop the rod tip very quickly to the 3 o'clock position, and pull back hard to 12 o'clock. Jigs are most effective when employed in cover or closed to cover so be aware of the risk of getting snagged. Jigs are meant to imitate crawfish so try to make them scoot along the bottom. Both jigs and plastic worms are best used slowly. Use jigs around fallen trees where bass are hiding. Brush piles on a rocky bottom, standing timber, thick grass, and flats are all prime locations to employ a jig. Pitch or flip a jig around the angles where limbs connect to the trunks of fallen trees. Let the jig fall to the bottom with a semi-tight line. Drag or hop your jig down ledges or drops to mimic the movements of a crawfish. Use a ounce jig when fishing through thick grass. Jigs are also effective when fishing on docks and piers because they provide protection from predators. Jigs are meant to imitate crawfish so they should be light in clear water and dark in murky water.

Summary: Employ a short-range flipping and pitching techniques instead of casting out into the distance when using jigs. Employ proper technique. Examine the water conditions. Keep the colors simple.

Add cup of baking soda to your clothes before starting the washing cycle. Baking soda creates a barrier between positive and negative charges from building up and creating static. Depending on the size of the laundry load, you may need to adjust the amount of baking soda you add in. For bigger loads you can add about cup of baking soda, and for small loads you can use 1 or 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Baking soda is also considered a water softener and a fabric softener. When your wash machine is transitioning to the rinse cycle, pause the machine and pour in cup of white distilled vinegar. Restart the machine to continue the rinse cycle. Vinegar serves as both a fabric softener and static reducer in the laundry. For the last 10 minutes of the drying cycle, turn the dryer to the lowest heat setting, and add a damp washcloth to the machine. Allow the dryer to carry out the rest of the drying cycle. The damp washcloth helps add moisture to the air, preventing electrical charges from building up in the dryer. As soon as your clothes are finished drying in the dryer, take them out and shake them. This prevents static electricity from setting in. Alternatively, to reduce static even more, you can air dry your clothes and hang them on a clothesline to dry.

Summary: Add baking soda to the wash. Add vinegar to the wash. Add a damp washcloth to the dyer. Shake your clothes.

Knit berets whether made from wool or cotton are super comfy. Because they also look very casual, you can pair 1 with your most casual looks. Choose a knit beret and style it your favorite way. A leather as opposed to knit beret will make this classic style look more modern. Simply choose a leather (or faux leather) beret and style it the same way.

Lined berets will have a thin layer of material inside of the hat. They'll keep your head warmer than an unlined beret, which makes them a perfect choice for cold weather. As the weather gets warmer, you can swap out your lined beret for one without lining. You'll be able to maintain your look without your head getting sweaty in the heat!

Summary: Choose a knit beret for a comfortable, casual look. Use a leather beret for a modern twist. Select a cotton beret for everyday wear. Pick a lined beret to wear in cold weather. Choose an unlined beret to wear in warm weather.

In order to conduct effective training sessions, you need to keep in mind the objectives of your business or organization. These goals should guide you as you develop your training plan. For example, if the main goal of your business is to increase sales of medical supplies, you'll want to make sure to convey that to your trainees. If your company has a mission or vision statement, use that to guide you as you develop your training goals. You want the training goals to be compatible with the overall objectives of your company. Be aware of what you want to accomplish. For instance, the purpose of the training may be to prepare employees for emergencies, improve business offerings or protect the privacy of clients. Make it clear to your trainees that there will be tangible benefits that each will gain by completing the training. Perhaps your trainee will earn a new certification that qualifies her for more responsibility. Or maybe there is greater job security for those who have completed training. Whatever the case, convey these benefits at the outset of training. Outline the skills, information, and certifications that participants will gain by undergoing the training. These might include mastery of specific software applications, detailed knowledge of company policies and procedures, or enhanced customer service skills. Include in your plan the specific outcomes you want the training to achieve. Be as clear as possible. These should be more specific than the overall goals of the training. For example, you could say, "At the end of training, we will have 25 new employees ready to begin their first week of work in the Accounting Department at XYZ". If possible, note the benefits of achieving these goals. You might note, "Once these new employees are trained we will have X number more hours of production each week, which should increase our overall profits by X%."
Summary: Consider the goals of your organization. Identify the benefits for trainees. Recognize desired outcomes.
