TommyGun316 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Bought the slow sink a few weeks back, and it rolls like no other, unless I burn it. Otherwise, it will not run true. I added a belly weight and that seemed to help a little, but this thing is not running the way it should. Anybody else try one? Or know how to fix it? Thanks.

22RangerZ520R Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 I've been seeing tons and tons of negative reviews online. I'd return them. It's hard to beat a Magdraft... TommyGun316, chevro1et and B_larkin3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG_Fishes Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 It's Ben Milliken's bait, of course it is garbage. As Brad said, it is hard to beat a magdraft. I'm yet to find a bait that is as versatile. Just about the only thing I throw these days B_larkin3, scojangles, 253caster and 5 others 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard pass for me wow thats bad, ive seen a lot of guys posting clips on IG and all similiar actions, plus that hook hes using seems excessive for a bait that size. But i havent seen one run good straight out of the package without boiling the tails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoNinja Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 I believe I watched a video on it. He said it won't swim right at slow speeds. It's meant to be fished faster. maine y yak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurdaJ Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 That body roll at slow speeds might be good though, like a giant hover stroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was only good at high speeds no one said that or I missed it so that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimbait302 Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I bought one in the fast sink bc I love the rising son and the thought of a similarly priced bait that I could fish deeper out of the box was enticing. They’re certainly a lot worse than a rising son but not as bad as people are saying. If you want a fast sinking line through it’s not terrible I’ve caught a few small fish on it but I don’t think I’ll be buying another unless I start catching bigger fish on it. If you’re fishing less than 15ft of water stick to a 3:16 line through or a magdraft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Texan Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Fast sink sort of swam…rolled at slower speeds and at times without the tail even kicking…decent swim on a med/fast pace but almost impossible to keep a consistent good looking swim. Paint job looks pretty darn good but we will have to see durability if we can get bit I was also expecting a unique profile but is very close to a RS I’ll boil the tails and test further but over all very disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
