Picked up a pack of the 6" baits. Stoked to try them out, Cast Co makes some cool baits.

This is like a 2011-2012 level post. Awesome job, looks amazing and very cool of your wife to help.

They make a saltwater version. You could add weight strips to the bottom of the bait, wrap lead around the hooks, etc. You could even throw it on a carolina rig with a 2 oz sinker

size 1 and 1/0. Once I switched to ST-36 in the same size, I started landing fish on the same baits

I got a couple for this year, awesome bait. Back to buying guns now

There's a few colors of Micro Minks on the Toxic site. right now. I see a lot of guys wanting to try them, now is your chance. Please buy them before I do and my wife leaves me.

Absolute slaunchie. Nice fish!!!

Good lord! What did you get her on?

In my experience, the split rings are fine. I am not a fan of the hooks, I lost a bunch of fish on them and change them out on any baits that come with them.

I haven't fished this bait as much, but have caught a ton of fish on it as well. Still not 100% on what hooks I like to run.

I've caught a ton on this one. 3 or 4 catfish too lol

Same, I was on here in ~2011 as Fat-G. Lost the email associated with that account. And the ability to catch big fish lmfaooooooooo

Dobyns Fury 795 is decent for soft baits and only like ~$100

That crappie bait is getting bit! Awesome fish Dave

I use 20 or 25 XXX for everything

I remember when you used to stretch out your Big Game lol

PIG! Great fish!

took another pic while I was swimming the new Wade the other day off the dock. This winter gill color is fuego

Treble hook for sure. It is perfect for 2-4 oz hard baits.

Zillion TW HD or Tatula 300. Tatula 300 is a beast.

The Wade is the best bait I have ever fished and my all time favorite fishing lure. Slow wake, crank down, twitching, walking, burning, anything. This bait gets it. I have one with over 100 fish on it. I have one with lead strips and 3x hooks to get deeper, and one set up as a super wake. I have caught fish shallow, deep, day and night, windy and glass calm, open water, under docks, over grass, in laydowns, rock piles, anything. I have yeeted it full speed into docks and rocks 50 times with only scratches. I have probably gone through a dozen tails on my beat up one. The bait just gets fookin railed. You can cast it a mile and it never fouls up on the line. I throw mine on an old 8'6 LDC Production Heavy with a Tatula 300 and 25# XXX. I am getting a rod built for the Wade, that is how much I love the bait (and really any of C's baits). It will be an MHX 967 blank. Favorite hook setup for a do-it-all Wade is the ST-35 1/0, 60# or 90# split rings. I will also use the ST-36 1/0 or the ST-56 in 1/0. Hot take - I do not at all like the SU hooks and immediately replace them.

that chorizo is dope

Agreed! I haven't fished it too much, but one of the times I did I had a wolf pack of 4-6 pounders fighting over it right next to my dock. It was sick! This is the crank down version. Need to throw it more this year for sure.

Sheeeeeeesh that Golden Shiner is sweet. I need to grab a backup 2.0 and a couple DDs
