i wrap lead tape around itself a few times then jamb it in the port under the head. If too heavy, i just yank it out and trim off some lead. Pretty easy to get it leveled out.

think the handicaped weight is still a winner??? honorable mention at year end for sho

Seems like every Hinkle has a different sink/float rate…..I vary the hooks on the ROF I’m looking for

Grinded for 9 hours on Thursday without a bite Threw the Battles Shad, Citizen, Gizzard Glide, Rising Son, Mission Fish, Ghost, Deps 250 Fish are still suspended for the most part, not many have moved into the salt cedars yet. Crazy the amount of giants on the FFS,,,,,sometimes they follow your presentation, mostly not I you have to catch a fish, the guides are all dead sticking big worms…..not a typo

Fishing again tomorrow........should be good weather

Swimbait stuff is alot like buying a laptop. You need to get the highest performance that you can afford. I was self taught on swimbaits starting in about 2003 or so. Started with a flipping stick (would not cast at all), to big frog rod (too limber), to a Diawa Heartland (still have, but not enough backbone), eventually to Shimano Crucial Swimbait rods, and finally custom LDCs Same exercises with reels and lines I don't take much stock from ratings written on rods. The best thing is to test drive other guys setups, that match your casting style

Just like my lottery tickets on the Tx Lottery App…….NOT A WINNER! 6lbs on the Citizen 6, 23 inches

i had an X tools that lasted forever. Got a Brecknell for the accuracy, but miss the best 5 fish feature of the x Tools. I'll look at the Bubba......i do use their knives in crappie season

state law in Texas that the pilot has to be wearing a pfd when the boat is under power. I have yet to see the lake police enforce the law on the hundreds of wake boat captains plowing down lake. I wear an inflatable all the time......while i don't think it's necessarily a deterrent .....but when authorities see you wearing your pdf in a bassboat, they could be more likely to do safety checks on another boater not wearing one

fished from 8:30 to 7pm......winds were brutal.....sustained 20+ gusts to 30mph Caught one Dink, missed 2 others all on the Citizen. Had a big fish follow the Hinkle shad.....right on the bait to a single image on the Active Target. Saw some huge fish on the FFS. Water temp was 54. Fish had not moved up yet. My buddy has been guiding there for the last 5 years, knows his stuff. Basically what worked the previous year, doesn't work this year.......same for years past. When the water was over the salt cedars a couple years ago, it was the "line thru" bonanza Plan on going back in a few weeks

If Grant or Jared don’t work out……I’d be happy to take you out on Lake Austin, if scheduling works

First time on the Lake this Thursday with a guide friend of mine. Weather looks good except for the high winds. Should be fun......will try to capture a bunch of footage Shooting for a State Record!
