HeavyJ48 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Any reviews, feedback or fish catch photos from y’all on the flagg 255 or 170? I think this bait has potential but may need some time to dial in the set up and technique for these baits Edited March 6, 2023 by HeavyJ48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan2468 Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I have put in some time with only the 255, I like it but I replace the split rings and swivel with braid to make it sink slower and be more natural. A rod with a softer bend is better you really need a treble hook rod or you will overwork it. I like it a lot! HeavyJ48 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BittyRanger Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Had success with the 255 burning and pausing. Just scooped some 170s to try out this summer BigBaitThirty, manansalsa and HeavyJ48 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimbait302 Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Had a 170 back in 2020, caught 5 fish on it before breaking it off on a nice fish. I think they liked it on a slow retrieve near the surface. Fish below was my first one on it I need to get some more manansalsa and HeavyJ48 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyJ48 Posted March 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 I’ve been thinking about taking the bottom treble off and rig a top hook treble and work it around laydows, grass and docks where expensive glides is a dangerous thing to do… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah she wanted it bad, ate it off the surface if I remember correctly. The hook up ratio is great on the 170 it folds right down in their mouth HeavyJ48 and Jim137a 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangermike Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Swimbait reviews has a vid on the 255. I ordered one looking forward to trying it. I lm going to get some 170s to try eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
