I have one that drifts to one side on a slow steady retrieve and will give an extra kick every 8-10 feet to correct itself and repeat. I get bit a lot on it when it gives that extra kick.

That pink frog Slammer rules!

I don't have a PA; I have a Revolution, but I really think you're going to like the Hobie. In addition to the fish finder and anchor, I would also recommend the Turbo Fins and the sailing rudder. They make a noticeable difference in speed and maneuverability.

Try throwing it at night. If you've ever fished a Jitterbug at night fish the Slammer exactly the same - throw it tight to shore and around pads and weedlines and slowly wake it back. You will still catch lots of small fish on the 9" - don't worry about missing bites.

Best swimbaits and techniques for shallow bass
kevin08261985 replied to dsonnenburg's topic in The Underground
If the pads aren't too thick, try waking a Slammer right through them, the bill does a pretty good job of keeping the hooks clear of snags. If they're too thick to pull that off, try finding holes in the pads, throwing a floating bait into them and deadsticking/twitching it. -
Color really doesn't matter much on the Slammer - I've used Hitch, Perch, Bass, White, Frog, etc. day and night and caught fish on all of them in a variety of conditions. Use whatever color you have the most confidence in.

He replaced the bench (I think he still has it in his basement) with a box and painted the console white probably 30+ years ago and took the windshield off 15 or so years ago. Seeing that pic of everything restained looks awesome. Good luck with the refurbishments.

Nice Slammer fish! Throwing Slammers at night is my favorite way to fish.

My dad has the exact same boat, except it's a '72 - he bought it new. For a small boat, it handles rough water surprisingly well.
-
Used, but still in great shape. $30 TYD.
-
Great story! Congratulations!

Deformed face, big depression on the back.

Gave me a great price on a bait, was easy to communicate with, and shipped super quickly with tracking info.

What's the going rate for an MS Snake?
kevin08261985 replied to SwimbaitNewEngland's topic in The Underground
I sold one for either $45 or $50 on NEF last year, but wasn't in the best shape. -
I have had a 6601 C4 for a few years and love it. I've had it set up with 20 and 25 lb mono and 65lb braid and it handled all of them nicely. It's been on a couple different swimbait rods and, in a pinch, I used it on a frog rod for a little while. It's a tough, smooth casting reel and at a great price. It is a fairly fast reel though, so it might not be ideal for you if you're looking for something with a slower gear ratio.
-
x2 - I like the 7" a lot more on a MH rod and 20 lb mono.
-
I had the same thing happen with an Okuma rod. They replaced it no questions asked; I think I just had to pay either $15 or $20 for shipping.
-
Great seller. Great communication and super fast shipping.
-
Spook sold. Punker is still available. -
I'm looking to sell a 6" injected Lunker Punker in the bass color and a shad colored 7" Heddon Magnum Zara Spook. The specs on the Spook are 7" - 2.5oz and it is made of wood. Both baits are brand new and still in their packaging. $20 each TYD or $35 for both.
-
I had the exact same experience with my transaction. Great price for the bait too. Thanks!
-
In all seriousness though, that sucks. Good luck sorting that mess out. Hopefully it will turn up and you'll get to fish it. That's a great looking bait.

Somewhere a FedEx delivery driver is sticking hawgs on it.
