swimb8bassin512 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 (edited) hate to bug yall just got a quick question. ( probably a dumb one at that so please forgive me ) Trying to find out what the difference is between these two baits on the 3:16 website. they both have a different part# and price. One does say line through and the other says top hook but the description and rigging below each is the same as far as I can tell. Any info is greatly appreciated.

maiti Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 From what I recall (and this is from a long time back so I may be wrong), but the top hook one may be a fast/ faster sink. swimb8bassin512 and chevro1et 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even funnier when I see it referenced on a post. . Can you imagine talking to your buddy, “Hey did you see the latest episode of Uncle Bing Bong?”. But, it is different ,enjoyable and hopefully he finds his stride and makes longer episodes. Have referenced his other videos he made on the past regarding baits, and found them to be informative. My apologies for getting off topic…. chevro1et and SoFloW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepinItReelFishing Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 The bottom hook variant is a super slow sink....combined with the lift of the paddle tail it rides very high in the water column. Perfect for bringing over grass when you only have a foot or two of headroom. Great as a soft bodied "wake" bait using a high rod tip and a mod-fast retrieve speed. I love doing this with my 8" model. The top hook variant is weighted heavier and is meant to be fished deeper. Still, with the lift of the paddle tail I wouldn't call it a bottom bouncer as the speed required to keep bottom contact is also just about the stall speed of the tail. IMO in its stock state the top hook is perfect for mid water column. **NOTE: There is plenty of room to insert tungsten nail weights around the black plastic insert on the lures. If you want to get a bottom hook variant and run it a bit deeper, insert a couple nail weights. If you want to keep the top hook model even deeper, with a moderate retrieve speed, likewise.....add a few tungsten nail weights in there.

willsochill Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 This video C does a pretty good job breaking down the 2 different versions of the line through version of the rising son. swimb8bassin512 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtx9 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Rising Son is basically the "senko" of the line-thrus swimb8bassin512 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
