BigBaiter

The full movie is on Youtube!! Enjoy!

The 12.5 inch TT still produce!! After the fishing club stocked trouts; I decided to imitate them Took my only 2 casts for this 40 inch pike in very skinny water. TL guys!

For me the only proof a fish was caught on a certain lure, following the rules is a cast 2 catch footage.

I always, always, always was wondering why the hell he has no cast 2 catch vids. Now I know why! I had the whole time a weird feeling about this guy but I could not explain why. He put such efforts in his underwater footage but had no interest in filming his catches. Very suspicious!!

I think my Bigroid has 1/0 hook on it. The rear hook should be 1. But I´m not 100% sure. The Ayuroid 1 (front) and 2 (rear).

Was wondering the same thing.

5.8:1 for the smaller stuff and the 7.6:1 for biiiiig glide baits.

I´m using bronzing 7x7 steel leader and I am fine with that. If you wanna fish swimbaits stay away from flou because the whole leader is to heavy and bulky and some swimbaits don´t "swim". For example (170lb flouro): Hiro 13" glider swims quite good whereas the JC 303 just don´t swim/glide. The fact I don´t like with titanium material is the thing you can´t see when the material is weak. With steel I can see immediately when its time to change. My leader: snap (Decoy Egg Snap #5 or staylock snaps or for giant baits owner hyper wire split ring), crimping sleeves covert with shrink tube and instead of a swivel (another weak point I don´t like and it adds more weight to the whole system) I´m using a solid ring. Swimbaits do not rotate so there is no need for a swivel. Right now I am experimanting a bit with anti chew tubing for abrision protection. I hope that helps! PS: For less visibility I like to color my leader with a black sharpy. Also the first 5 meters/15ft of my braided main line especially when the color is faded out.

A new Ryoga will be released this year. Looks really interessting. Just saying

Ok smaller baits is a different story.

Did you watched the vid above? The performance dif is the actual line pick up.

That´s exactly what I was talking about!

Never had a problem with Jointed Claws (and I own a whole swarm of it). If you searching long enough you will find negative reviews on nearly all swimbaits. Deps SS, JCs, DRT Klash, S-Waver etc. ​And I have no glue why the Deps should be more durable then the Gan Crafts. Both are great products!

Why? Is the gear stronger or is it cuz of the line capacity?

@HookdUp Why went you back to the 400 size?

I already fished them. Great bait. I realy like the concept of this swimbait. You can do a lot of things with it.

JC 178 ss period! Much, much better then Islide 185 and Ayuroid (awesome lure when fishing it along the bottom with hooks on it´s back).

I would go with the 401! Why? If you cast out and the line comes off your spool the diameter of your spool decrease and so your line pick up. The diameter will more decrease on the 300 size and the changes of the actual line pick up will be more significant. I hope you know what I try to explain!

I´m a big fan of the IMA Bigstick. Way better action then the LP in my opinion, flies like a rocket and easy to walk.

Here is a nice japanese underwater video. I really like the action so far!

One of this arrived today in my mailbox. I will fish it this weekend.

Some news?

To make it short: The Shrapnel is too big for you! ^^

Yup Texas Tackle. Hands down the best split ring pliers!!
