scoopdaloop Posted March 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Color doesn't seem to matter a lot at night. If it's fairly light out (moon or lights) I like natural colors. If it's pitch black, I use a sisssy. I know that sounds odd but it works for me. For the weedless is 316 just using a huge EWG hook? Ya I know colors don't matter much, I always stick to black, white and a natural presentation. That sissy sure is sexy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopdaloop Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ok I got them, surprised myself by ordering more than I remembered. Two 8" and two 6.5". Got one top hook and one bottom in both sizes. Checked around, what is the ROF of these? From my searching I see people adding nail weights so I assume it has to be around ROF 1-3? Appreciate the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The weedless uses a 10/0 Owner Beast hook. The top hook is about ROF 10 or so. Not sure about the bottom hook but it's lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R8R Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think a weedless version is coming out this year. I've used it and it rocks. TopR how's the hook up ratio on the weedless Rising son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londonmitch Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Anyone convert their bait to a weedless? Don't really fish it because the weed growth in spring/summer is awful It can be done and works great. As far as color at night goes I usually stick with baitfish.

Top Ramen Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) TopR how's the hook up ratio on the weedless Rising son I've been surprised at how good the hook-up ratio has been on the weedless version so far. One thing that helps a LOT with the weedless version is to keep the rod tip pointed right at the bait when you retrieve it, so the fish loads up on just the line, not the rod.

Mason Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I've caught fish on mine but the tails always get bent pretty quickl. If yall are keeping them as long as you claim then you must be doing something different. How are you storring them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yall are keeping them as long as you claim then you must be doing something different. How are you storring them? Mine hang vertically in the fishing closet when they're not in a tackle box ready for use. I try to store all of my baits that way. It also help me build the excitement when I'm getting ready to go fishing - I stand in front of the closet with one or two empty boxes and try to figure out which lures to take off their hangers.

If yall are keeping them as long as you claim then you must be doing something different. How are you storring them? Keep them in the box they come in. Lay it out on its back to dry out when you get home, and put it back in the package for storage. Just the easiest way for me. Hell I just stab the hook in one of the foam blocks in each package too so it's always there. Grab a couple baits you want, and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home, I store them flat on their backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Thanks. I'm gonna try to boil them and start fishing them again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckin-swimb8's Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 The package the come in is a great option for storage, i have noticed the tail will get a lil crooked from them though. So i boiled mine straight and then usually hang them or flat back... Grab whatever ones i want and pop in the factory case for the trip. And you cant go wrong with sissy either...you wont be sorry. I'm defineitly goin to try the weedless setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopdaloop Posted April 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 What nail weights are you guys inserting to get a higher rof? My bottom hook 8" is a slowwww sink. Going to be out of town till Wednesday so was hoping to order some on TW. Caught a fish on the 6th cast. Slow rolling in 2 fow and choked it. Seems as though I finally found something to replace the trusty 5.8" keitech! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
