Sweet, thanks guys

I’ve seen contradicting information so does anyone know for sure if the skin on the new 250s is the same as the OGs? Can I use the skin on a new bait on my older OG bait?

Berkeley Big Game is cheap and strong af. If you are new it’s a great line to start with. I’ve been using it for years and the stuff doesn’t break. I use 25lb for the heavier baits and 17-20 for some of the smaller ones.

Don’t be afraid to tweak your baits. Add a stinger hook that hangs to the tail or add a few extra o rings to the back hook so it sits back on the bait further.

Only bait I've had a double on is the lunker punker and it's happened twice. Nice fish.

You run into problems if you store the bait wet in a air tight spot like tupperware box or even the box it came in. The skin will fog up as it soaks the water in. If you're hanging it in the open, just shake it out a bit and you won't have any problems.

Sending money now, gl to them. Wishing for fast recovery.

You can also use a drill and drill holes in the weight to lighten it.

I'd bet she stays in that area. I saw a big fish in my local lake 5 or 6 times over a 4 month period. The fish was off a point in 40' water and would almost always follow a glide bait to the boat. No advise on how to catch her though because I never catch big fish. One thing I do know though, after fishing with a waterwolf for a while... If that's her spot and you toss a baitsmith or hudd down there that fish is on it inches away checking it out as it sinks to the bottom, especially that first cast. Maybe let the bait sit on the bottom for a 30 -40 seconds giving it a few small jerks before you start reeling.

yeah Tungsten putty works fine.

I have one of his 10" baits and it swims awesome. Very well made too.

807 or 908 for hudds, works every time.

I used one for a while and it was really cool. Works great for trolling but water must be clear. Also learned a lot about structure and fish behavior when reviewing the video. Got some cool footage until I dropped it in the lake.

no its not messy, and you can use it to fill in the drilled holes in the original weights.

Are you converting a Silent Killer to Slide Swimmer? If so use tungsten putty, it's super easy to use.

Haven't been there in a while. It's super tough to fish but sometimes you get lucky. These vids are all a couple years old. https://youtu.be/XwiQMoAxkiI https://youtu.be/H0tDE1v61yA https://youtu.be/oxj53Xr6mPI https://youtu.be/HsPko00dg54 https://youtu.be/tPc4X7TBeNU
