Haha funniest thing I've read all day. I've caught 5 fish limits for 20ish pound bags wind no wind in the middle of the day on a slammer. Same thing when it's windy, cloudy, sunny, rainy etc etc. There's is something to be said for finding the right slammer though. I don't use a snap with any of my slammers. If it cranks true than crank it. If it doesn't run true than twitch it. Time is the key. It's my go to bait in tournaments. Find one that works and fish it until it falls apart.
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.

a few hardbaits. not much of a collection but its a start!
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.

Ok, thanks for the advice. There is not a lot of structure just a lot of pads
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.

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.

Great story! Congratulations!

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

I throw my 7" slammer on a MH 7'11" Okuma Guide Select. I can throw it on the H Okuma, but the MH seems a better match. I run 20-lb Big Game on the reel.
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.
-
-
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.
