HopscotchMan Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 any tips on getting a s waver 200 to sink faster? I tried doubling up split the rings on it with little success. I don't know what else to try that wont effect the glide. I used the search tool with little success. any help is appreciated!

biggfeast Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Suspend strips or suspendots added to the bottom. I know they come off quite easy but can work for a little while and readily available. Can also beef up hooks for some added weight, will have bigger impact than adding split rings. You can also buy lead tape/golf tape and add to the bottom, i believe this sticks alot better than suspendstrips or suspendots JeremyW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossypumpkin Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Dont bother with the suspend dots. I packed on about 15 of them and barely changed the rof. U would need 50 of them to get it down better.. biggfeast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3bassin Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have read but never tried this but some people will use it on a Carolina rig. The extra weight will get the bait down but not affect the action since it's not added to the bait. Also this way if you stop reeling the bait will swim down instead of sinking horizontally.

Top Ramen Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Go to a sporting goods store and get the lead tape used to change the balance on golf clubs. Works great. Lucid_Dreams23, JeremyW and biggfeast 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iay Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Have you tried wrapping lead wires around the hook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopbass Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Adding an extra set of split rings and owner st 66 hooks made a huge difference for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habla10 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 You have a place in the lure where you can put some weight, at the end of the front part, you have a hole, and you can glued some lead and it's hid in the lure, good forold fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyc Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 After I misjudged a cast, I have one that developed a crack on the top seam. I believe a little bit of water can get in, so, I've been using this one for deeper water. Not that you should be casting away from the water......maybe a little drilled hole in the front section ?

WABASSER Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 You can also adjust what line you are using. I usually use mono, but if i have a hard time getting a bait down, I will use fluoro or braid to fluorocarbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should contact River2Sea and let them know - they may be able to replace it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks I know in Japan will drill a small hole in the front section of the body on another injected glide bait and allow water to get inside. According to them it helps with getting the bait down and suspending when the bait glides out to one side. I have personally never tried it but do know that it is being done and catchin em.

waynem Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm pretty sure New England striper fishermen have been modifying Bomber minnows by "loading" them for at least 40 years. You do this by drilling a very small hole in the top of the bait and using a hypodermic to inject some oil or water to weight the bait down. This was done to both increase casting distance and get some additional running depth. If you want to try this you drill the hole, inject a little liquid and temporarily plug the hole with a piece of toothpick. Go to a lake or pool and test out the swim and keep gradually adding liquid until you get the action you want. Then use some epoxy to make a permanent seal. biggfeast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopscotchMan Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 do I put the lead tape equally along the bait or more on the front section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
