Is that a 125 SS in the last pic?

Thanks. it was a fun little project. We'll see how the fish like it in the morning.

I know. I just can't afford one right now after buying a $70 gan craft. Well, it worked. I slit the belly open, removed the insert, and cut off all of the lead. I glued it all back together with mend-it, put a size 1 ST-66 on the belly ring, and cut off the jig hook. Now I have a floating 6" hudd that I can deadstick or wake on the surface. You have a picture of it in the water? I'm interested in what it looks like here you go. Sits with the dorsal fin out of the water with the rest under.

Yeah I just realized that two size 1 hooks are not going to fit. 1 hook will be fine. The main thing I am worried about is the bait rolling on it's side if I cut lead out in the wrong place.

Hey guys I have been slaying the bass lately by deadsticking my jointed claw but I really want to try it with a softbait. I want to try it with my 6" Hudd and have two trebles on the belly. How would I go about doing this? I know I have to slit the belly and cut some of the lead out. Is there a certain section of lead I should cut out to have the bait sit level in the water? Also, is this even a feasible prospect? Someone said they did it in a TW review and that's where I got the idea.

My pb was on a live bluegill but I was like 13 so I didn't know any better. It was over 6. I don't really count that fish. My second best was on a redeye shad, 5lbs 7oz. My third best was on a swimbait. PTL Swinging Hammer, 5lbs 1oz. I just started fishing swimbaits so I know I'll get one 7+ in the future.

thanks dude. Your youtube channel has helped me out a ton. So has your friend Mike. I've been talking to him a bunch on bass resource.

And finally, my 5lber on a PTL Swinging Hammer. I couldn't post the pic in the original thread because it was too big so I had to crop it.

Hey everyone, new guy here. here's a small gallery of some of the fish I have been catching on swimbaits the past month or so. -Cullen

I use them as belly hooks on my hudd and I have them on my homemade rat wake. Really sick hooks. Completely unbendable and once you hook a fish they rarely get off.

I would have gotten the 230 but I couldn't afford it and I don't have the gear to throw it. I'm throwing my baits on a 7' 6" MH with a Daiwa Takara spooled with 20lb Trilene XT. I really need to get an XH rod with a 300 size reel. Thanks for the tips

Hey everyone, I have been lurking for a bit learning about throwing swimbaits and getting familiar with the forum here. I have three baits currently- a 6" Hudd, a 5" (minus tail) homemade wake rat, and a Gan Craft Jointed Claw 178 that I got today. I have been catching a few good fish on the Hudd but I have no experience with hard baits. Does anyone here have the J-Claw? I would really appreciate any help with tips on fishing it and triggering followers to bite. Thanks, Cullen
