It appears recent. The post was on 2/24. BBC Boards » Lures & Fishing Stuff - Personal Sales » *WARNING*

This guy's doing it on other boards too... "Man I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I feel everyone should be warned about Patrick Conner aka froggin17. I got into a trade with him,I sent my swimbaits and he was supposed to send me a reel for my son. Well after several IM's with no answer I decided to send a IM to the moderators. Long story short this guy is probably not one of the honest people on here and now my son is out 6 swimbaits and a reel. Just thought I'd warn the rest of us good guys before someone else does business with him. P.S. He lives or at least thats where I sent my sons stuff to Syracuse NY."

Way to start it off JT. Good Job!

There's a Toyota Outfitters, but I'm not sure if they have the jacket you are looking for.

Are you tying directly to the bait or using a split ring?

Thank you Mr. Brown.

Ever since I read that name online (I think it was from Dave (R.I.P.) with Orso) it just makes me laugh but yes, I have too stuck good fish on the WAND!

Good question Roman. I have seen many anglers "run and gun" but I think that's where they lose confidence in swimbaits. They gave it a try for a few hours and now it's time to just catch fish by the "fairy wands". I had to say that because it cracks me up...LOL! When I first started throwing the Hudd (when they first came out), I focused on "big fish houses", in other words, the places you assume hold big fish...main lake points with deep water access, humps, main channel breaks with structure, etc. I focused on one lake at a time until I had established primary spots. Once the spots were established, then you want to record when you caught the fish, what was the weather conditions, time of day, etc. After the "work" is completed, then you just rotate between spots and pick them off. I have realized you have to make multiple passes at each spot because I believe (my opinion) that when the "big girls" are hungry, they move up for about an hour or so and that's when you want to be there. This is why (IMO) time of day is so important. I repeatedly hit spots multiple times throughout the day, some days they are there and some they are not. That's swimbaiting. Hope this helps. Wade PS: I still have my original Hudd.

Buttoned down all the way and reel them in...Quickly!!!

Thank you for this opportunity Mickey. Slow sink wake in white please!
