swims great! this one is a super slow sink so I just had him make me another in a medium sink to get down just a little bit deeper.

Did a little evening mission the other day. Not the biggest fish in that lake but..... I’ll take it!!!! 4.55lbs on the little rapala scale lol 7.5” glide from robs’

Did it again yesterday, it was windy as hell so I figured I’d give em something a little different. Used the 7†osprey line through but I’ve pulled the line through harness out and used the owner 12/0 flashy swimmer. 3rd cast and it got nailed! Was shocked as I have had zero confidence with this setup for the last year. Not a huge fish but I’ll take it and the envious looks from the wait n bait guys lol. Tried to get another but was getting literally blown off the lake so I called it a day. Not a bad little session in the afternoon!

Trying to get some space from the bait n wait federation. Walked damn near the end of the dam and pulled this one out! Only 5.6lbs but still gottem on the mag!! Ended up breaking the wire stinger when I was trying to unhook his ass...need to experiment with other methods For stingers. I've done the 80lb braid. Maybe go back to that

its very light weight. there is no thermal or warming insulation in it. i bought the bibs with it as well, i look like a goon. but im dry hahaha i usually just wear some sweats and a hoody under it and im fine. wrist and ankles have Velcro and so does the side zipper on the belly.

It’s the huk all weather jacket.

its been a minute since ive been on here, so hey n stuff... haha anyway last Saturday I pulled this 14.5 lb striper. saw it chasing trout out of the water so I casted as close to em as I could with the punker and gave it a few slides... and she blew it up!. found 5 trout inside her already. gotta love a good topwater bite bent the hell out of the hooks and hook hanger, but Ive now replaced with something a little stronger.

hey you still got your magnet! lol mine disappeared after 1 day of use

hell yea! most of the time im too stubborn to change up lol

its a Irod jumbo swim with a Curado 300ej

So I played with the one I put the st-56 1/0 all around.think it might be a tad too heavy now. Not as light on the twitch and sits almost submerged. Most of its walk the dog action is submerged as well. I'm going to put the stock hook back on the front to see if that pulls the nose up and helps it work a bit better. If not I'll try the st-36 hooks

so on the 8'' wood punker. I swapped out the hooks for some bigger owner 1/0 ST-56 (also the split rings #7 owner hyper wire) and on another one I used an ST-58 2/0 for the front hook and the ST-56 1/0 for the back two. ill throw em in the lake in the morning but just curious if anyone has switched out the hooks on theirs and if it altered the action at all.

Hell ya!!!! I was playing on the shoreline that morning

oh man hahaha well this explains a lot. a buddy bought a couple and he was throwin them and getting all upset because it floated hahaha. now I know why.
