vikingbear8 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have only fished it a couple hours so far but I am pretty impressed with it so far. It swims significantly better than the 8" did. The only major complaint I have so far is the split line tube. Its a real pain in the ass to be honest. You can't really pic between top or bottom and just kind of have to hope you get it right, and a lot of time the line just get stuck in there. Also I must have got a piece of debris in the side I wasn't using because it got clogged somehow, I can't even push heavy mono or wire through now. All in all I think it is a good bait, a great value at $35, if you have the patience to deal with the line tube. Also it really doesn't feel as heavy as you would think. I have been throwing it on a Loomis GL2 957 and it throws it really nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingbear8 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 The slow sink is listed at 10.25 and moderate at 10.75. My slow sink is 10.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brand_new_guy Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Wish they made it a 10" instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rharris918 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think I will preorder one now. For the price it looks worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khadee89 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I believe monster tackle has them in stock. With the 20% off labor day sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingbear8 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I have to slightly recant one of my statements. I just got another one in from a different supplier and I must say that the line through is significantly easier to use one this one. It is also a little different in color, so maybe they are already starting to work on the little things to make it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingbear8 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thank you for the update! Where did you find one if I may ask? The first one I got from the BBD pre order, the last one I got from monster tackle after khadee said they had them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rharris918 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Thank you. I was on the wrong monster tackle the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBaitStripers Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 For selecting the top rigging or bottom rigging I found out that if you pinch the last 1/8th of an inch of line before threading the bait helps a lot. If you face the now curled line up it will go up to the back. Point the curved line down and it will go to the belly. Pretty beefy bait. The pinched line trick works great on the six inch model also.
