Damn troll level 100 in this thread. Sometimes keeping the male in your live well, leaving the area for a bit and coming back will get the female to lock on. Honestly though, if she's a giant maybe just let her do her thing.

If you look carefully the corrugated pattern on the box even matches.

Was there a couple weekends ago. The water in Franks this time of year can be gin clear. Find surrounding sloughs with slightly more stained water and you'll find a better bite.

It takes time, money and dedication to design, test and build baits. To see smaller custom bait builders like Hinkle ripped off is sad. Whether or not Andrew likes being slammed with work is up to him, but to have a larger company with more resources come along and take what is unique about his product, mass produce it and take business from him is wrong. If you turn a blind eye to this and have the mentality of "I buy what works" you're basically handicapping all the innovative bait builder outside of the mainstream world of fishing.

I agree. Everyone has this overwhelming fear that the new ones won't be as good. Any leaking on the Bullshooters or Bullshooter Jr's? If Butch has put 3 years into the new design, I'm sure they'll be just fine. Faster production and cheaper production costs will hopefully benefit the consumer.

Try some glides if you own them. If not pick up a R2S or something cheap and give it a go.
