How are you rigging those Hudds?

Gotta give a huge first time HELL YEAH to Mickey and Rina!!! I placed my first ever 3:16 order last week and the baits showed up in times for Valentines Day today, I opened the package to find that a couple unexpected goodies had been placed in my order!!! I have heard the stories about 3:16's impeccable customer service and now I know first hand that this company knows how to take care of its own. The attention that Mickey and the crew put into making sure they provide their customers with the best product is second to none and they all deserve huge props for taking care of all of us. So I'll say it again, HELL YEAH!, you've definitely earned a lifetime customer!

Yes he has and most tackle sites should have the new ones in stock, I talked to him about this a couple weeks ago

Looks very good, any chance you can get a swimming vid?

For those of you who have thrown Hudds in northern lakes, have you found that the Rainbow Trout pattern has worked the best like in the majority of lakes or have darker or different baitfish colored baits such as the gold w/brown back, perch and hitch worked better?

I'm loving it so far. Much more efficient than the old V1 I had and I am definitely glad I decided to step up to the 55lb.

Idaho's only 10lbs 15oz so I'm in the same boat. Any DD is almost guaranteed to be a new record.

+1 I would just make sure to invest in a good quality battery and to stay on top of charging it. Last year I was running a 40lb thrust on my 17.5ft aluminum and it worked but was a little underpowered especially in windier situations. This year I stepped up to a 55lb thrust 12v Powerdrive V2 and it makes a world of difference.

5lbs 2oz

Coolest part of the story is him lettin it go

Title says it, if you were only limited to one 3:16 hard swimbait, what would it be and why would you choose that one?

I'm actually lucky enough to live 1.5 hours from Dworshak Reservoir here in Idaho which produced the #12 smallmouth which weighs 9.7. It's pretty regular for 7lbers to be caught. They have the normal smallmouth diet of craws but one reason these fish seem to get bigger than others in the state is the bluebacks in the lake. Hoping to get ahold of a Freestyle or Hyper Herring and go catch some footballs this year.

For a mid column approach would it be better to go with a soft bait now like a ROF 5 or Rising Son or just go directly to a hardbait such as a FS or TT. Is there one style that may be easier to learn on?

Has there been a release date for the 2.0? I saw the review for it that Matt did and it looks like it's going to slay.
