I run the ST41's in 2/0 it came with, anything lighter and it floats. The quad hook brings to mind the trick of walking on a bed of nails, to many points close together hinders penetration. In my opinion of course. Try a pair of the hooks I mentioned and see if the hook ups improve.

9" TSG one in golden shiner and the other in a weird shad color. The Taxi Trout I caught that fish on was cast off the next day. I got a new one but haven't really spent much time with it. I will say they swim perfect, on par with an OG deps 250.

Taxi Trout and Hinkle Shad have caught my two best glide fish here in Western MA. The Deps 250 pulls in big fish for me but I can't seem to get them to bite, just follows. Grabbed a Bullshad glide in Perch and a couple KGB Glides over the winter and they have been getting bit in the ice water but so biggins yet.

I throw the Cl8 crankin baby possum all the time, they actually bite it when nothing else works and based on the way they demolish it it flat out pisses them off triggering a strike. Ice Water 7lber smoked it slow rolling it up tight in early April. You really need to try a crank down rat, they get bit when the wake versions don't.

Good job, that's my birthday.

Cl8 cranking baby possum is my go to rat bait, It gets smoked here in MA. The other rat that gets smoke in calm water is an old kincannon 4pc I have, very subtle swim so a lot of folks don't like it. I have a toxic mink but I have yet to get bit on it. Cl8 muskrat gets smoked too but don't let the small size sway you away from it, elephants eat peanuts too.

Custom painted which is what he dropped were 200 bucks at the New England expo last week. Same baits on Ebay are 250 so that would have been a 1200$ profit for the flipper.
-
He had some flipper buy 4800 dollars worth of them the last drop this past week. He voided out the sale and dropped them again, he posted the drop on the Swimbait Universe Facebook page, that's another place to look too if you use social media.

My hinkle shad I fish super slow pop pop pause type retrieve kinda like a jerk bait. That retrieve fooled this one. Water was low 40's in March when I caught it.

I got there at noon Saturday, massive outflow of early birds leaving but still had to park at the top of the hill near a bunch power company bucket trucks. Got in the building without any waiting but is was stuffed and quite warm in there. Met Wayne AKA Speedbead and the boys at Universe booth first then hung out at Realpreys booth and helped Joe sell a couple baits. Swung by the Bullshad booth and met Mike and bought a 9" perch glide. Swung by Victors booth and grabbed a Paperweight then dodged folks browsing the different vendors. Went back to the Universe booth and bought a tshirt and met Joey Lanciotti but all the 3pc gills were long gone. Back over to Joes booth and bought one of his custom painted walking baits, on the way back over I stopped briefly and said hi to Oliver Ngy. Glad most didn't take debit cards or I would have spent a lot more than I did, I'm to cheap to pay the 8 dollar ATM fee lol. They need a bigger venue it was just to stuffed in there.

I just ordered a rod and used paypal and reported the invoice as a scam, I used totally bogus info and it still went through, sorry you got taken.
-
Impressive for being on the water a short amount of times.

A couple hinkle shad backups at retail would be the only thing that I would need. Mine is getting pretty beat up.

I have a slow sink version I got it many years ago. It's a work of art and swims perfect.
