Selling a used Tatula Type HD. I swapped out the stock drag and added Carbontex drag washers. Also added another bearing to the worm shaft. The handle is the black 100mm from the Zillion. Cosmetic: 7/10 Mechanical: 5/10 (It needs to be serviced. I used it out in the CA Delta battling 20+lb stripers for two seasons.) $65 TYD in lower 48. PayPal only.

Check out Matt Allen's Tactical Bassin on YouTube. He had a video that broke down which rats for certain situations.

In. Great stuff -
That is a good looking rat. It will stick some nice one that spring.

I fish the CA Delta about 75% of the time. It is a tidal system and there are times when you just can't physically throw a swimbait because of all the vegetation. With that said, I do swimbaits about 33% of the time. Frogs and punching will land some giants that are under the mats. And I agree with Ceasar, I caught some of the biggest fish with a frog under overhanging branches.

You just have to do your homework. Everyone has a different method according to their tools on hand. You just have to do your research and see what method is feasible. This also goes for building baits and practically everything in life. But YouTube is a great start.

Another idea for a tail is a propeller. I made a few single and multi-joint wake baits with a prop, it adds another sound to it. Great work by the way.

Those look great.

I think Slammer were made for stripers. With that said, I never had luck with them out here in the CA Delta. I do really well with walking type lures. Loud lures on choppy waters and wood when it's not so choppy.

You did an amazing job.

That thing looks legit. The joints are clean.

Wow, that is luxury. Magic will happen in there. I have no work space, wherever I could stand, I'm making it happen.

What both above said. I make some of my own lures and I spend tons of time putting a nice paint job on it, and 2 coats of Devon 2ton epoxy clear. Those things are hard as nail, but the hooks still get through them and I welcome the hook rash. The cool thing about the hard clear coat is that you get visible teeth marks on it too.

It ain't big but still a solid fish. It has been really tough out on the Delta. The water temp is dipping but not consistently. Good news is the stripers are starting to show up.

Skip the scales, it's just aesthetic. Focus on the mold.
