Question fellow fishermen, well actually a kind of rhetorical one.

I love to fish a split shot rig with a fluke or a senko and I have had one tied on my rod since April or May, during Bass Champs. Since then I have mostly pleasure fished and a few small tournaments. With this rig - same knot, same leader, same hook, same split shot pinched on, I caught an 8.13 and several 5 to 6 pounders and countless smaller fish.

One other tid bid of information is I am some what of a charma/luck type of person. I don't dive off the deepend with luck, but think sometimes its there. I have come to believe this is my lucky rig. In my heart and in my head I know i need to retie - the hook and knot is rusty, the leader if frayed.

So here is my question - I have a big tourney coming up this weekend do I retie and risk breaking my lucky streak (kind of feel like a pitcher with a certain dirty hat or glove) or do I risk losing a fish but know its been luck so far. During my last tourney this rig caught the big fish of the tourney and got us second place over all.

Thoughts?

retie ,luck maybe, your probably doing the right things in the right places, your going to hang it up at some point anyway and have to.

I'm not a superstitious person, retie your split shot rig and go get 'em.

re-tie or you will be sorry.

measure out the length of your leader, and note exactly where the split shot is, use the same hook, and everything else but def retie! I can be superstitious to in the end you will have the same exact rig just with new line.

Nice Advice Kent - I like that. Anyone else have any good ideas.

Fish it till it breaks or stops catchin um

im kinda a fan of not retying if you think it a luck deal. idk though.

What U Talkin Bout Willis???? Retie that sucker before you have to come home and tell everyone how you lost money because a big one broke you off because you thought that a crapy old not was lucky. No brainer.

I spelled knot wrong. My bad

have your wife or buddy retie and try not to notice

have your wife or buddy retie when your not looking and try not to notice, or remember

This ain't no time to wax philosophical. Just retie the Dadgum rig.

Have you wife retire Man thats a good one!!!!!

One thing I learned during the PAA on Tawakoni. Tommy Biffle retied after EVERY fish, no matter the size. No matter if it needs it or not was what he told me. Good tournament advice I'm thinking.
