The reel is an absolute tank. I throw the Baitsmith mag x with it no problem. It's also very smooth. I like it much better than my Calcutta 400b. I was able to get a deal on it and I haven't looked back.

This is what my Hinkle looks like after a solid season of fishing it hard. It has caught it's fair share of toads. It has also been responsible for multiple PB's of mine.

Its awesome to see how giving and willing all the swimbaiters are in this community when someone is in need of help! Jason I wish your father a speedy recovery! I sent in what I could.

Yeah am beginning to think the conversion is necessary. I would have had a nice fish last weekend, she T boned the bait then came back a second time and took it head first. When I set the hook it pulled the bait right out of her mouth...

I want to know the mastermind behind this stunt

That's a very awesome lake and a nice fish man!! Looks like both those bass have had their fair share of trout. Congrats on the DD

[attachment=0]Test Photo1.jpg[/attachment] One of my protos I get to play with March/April is looking good...... How does it swim compared to the old model?

Yeah not gonna happen.

This one swims pretty darn good as is I was just worried about the hook-up ratio the custom has over the bottom hook one. I have noticed the lead and I will stay away from those. Thanks man.

Can someone post a pic with their mother bottom hook and a tape measure next to the hook hangers I want to make sure I place mine in the proper location. Also thinking about embedding some swivels... Anyone ever seen this done? Thanks JD

I am in the same boat, I wish there was a way to get hold of this guy.. Total scumbag. This needs to be brought to the attention of the swimbait community do not support RaSwimmers in any sort of way the guy will steal from you given half the chance.

I appreciate your view. I am also in disbelief that it is the same fish. I will attach two images and you can compare the dots yourself. At no point was the fish out of the water for more than 45 seconds and she was released within 5 min of catching her. We take pride in letting them go to fight another day. The dead fish was approx 3/4 mile from where it was caught. I'm not saying that they aren't the same fish but I have doubt. Also Lukes bass was 12 lbs 4 oz. the dead one was 12 lbs 8 oz

Maybe this link will work.

Watch the release vid and ask yourself does this fish swim off like she was mistreated?

Awesome thanks guys. Looks like the previous owner was a big bait pioneer

I just purchased a boat and was looking through the different compartments and I stumbled upon two of these swimbaits. Anyone know the make or era that these would have been fished?

Yes I made a post about this a while back. I have emailed him numerous times. He is a total scammer.... I pride him for a Shad glide back in July. Last I heard from him he said he needed a couple weeks to put money in PayPal to refund me.... Then he totally ignored my emails and disappeared. I am sure there are quite a few people he ripped off
