1234567 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Looked around and seen this bait mentioned a few times but no real details on it. I just bought a couple and if they're anything like Joe's other baits it should be a good one. Side note: Is there much difference between the pond shiner and the G2 shiner as I grabbed a couple of these as well. Looking for other alternatives to the hudd as a lot of the waters I fish are snook infested and they tend to destroy them......mend it/huddle bond...only works so many times but when the tail gets whacked off I'm kind of sol. Thanks SU! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facepunch Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I only have experience with the bottom hook slow sink, and I didn't care for it. The two that I had didn't swim well at low speeds, and when you tried to speed it up it would come to the surface and blow out. I think this would be solved with the top hook medium sink though. Maybe some other people can chime in, but i would rather throw an ale wife or pond shiner in bluegill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234567 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 hey man, I actually had read your post about that from last year. I did order a fast sink top hook for that reason. Does the bluegill stand up when sitting on the bottom or does it fall over on its side? It does seem that Joe's baits can withstand a lot of fish. Thanks for the insights!

urbanhick Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Was fishing my top hook fast sink today. I fish it like a jig around blow downs. Not a sniff though tough bite today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilog Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I have slow sink and I like it a lot. It swims nice on both the slow and fast retrieve. The tail thumps harder with a fast retrieve but still pushes water on the slow retrieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomah21 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 wait... since when do you fish, boomah? Well in michigan season officially opens on may 15th. I get out 2-4 times a week during season. Would you like to see my bass fishing frequency punch card? I take advantage of what little time I do have to get out....realize that isnt as much as everyone else on here and sounds like you.

wallyc Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I picked up a bunch of Joes swimbaits during the winter, but, havent fished them yet. I usually just get out on Sundays, and, have been just starting to throw all my new swimbaits. I will mention this, it seems they are a much tougher material then Matts bluegills. Will check out the action this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
