clh121787 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I've been swimming in 65 degree water dragging my net in the general area. With no sucess. And to make things worse this lake was built on top a frigging pine Forrest. I finally gave up. Trying to let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyIce Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Ya this happens with the joints on some baits. As underground builders we do not have the access to commercial products and I have had this happen before. About 10 of my baits had an issue with the epoxy that was used to glue the hinge pin in and as a result failed. I was able to trace it back to a bad tube of devcon that was used over a few weeks for those baits. Glad it was rectified for you! I have heard Andrew is a stand up guy and this goes to prove it!!!

I have heard Andrew is a stand up guy and this goes to prove it!!! agree stand up guy. Imop best glide on the market. There's just some thing about a big bass comming out of the darkness to crush a bait. In my hands.The hinkle is the best swimbait for those results in the experience I've gained. Including many baits. IsaacM619 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Man CP Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 So what was the issue, pin backed out, or hinge broke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedonnguyen Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 from the pics, i'd say the pin backed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Man CP Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Kinda what I was thinking, pics show both sides of the hinge, looks all in tact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
