Hughie Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thanks for the heads up Jason,, I too was also contacted shortly after reading your post, he also confirmed my xss should be arriving in the next week or so. Meanwhile I've been experimenting with speeding up the sink rate on my ss, I fish mostly in the CA Delta, which had a lot of current in some parts throughout the day. I've been having good luck getting it down a lil quicker How do you weight your slow sinks? Does it then become the equivalent to a fast sink?

Memo Guevara Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hey bro... How did it glide without a snapswivel? Any big changes on the retrieve with or without a swivel???? Thanks man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Basser Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I always run my glides with a snap. I feel like I get a better action, as the snap acts like a joint itself. Uness you are familiar with drilling and adding weight, I can't say I recommend re-weighting one. Bit if so, what I like to do, to add a lil extra weight without too much work. Get a bucket of water, at least 18" of water for testing. Add small increments of lead to the belly of the bait with tape or rubber bands. Adjust sink rate and balance points before you start drilling! Secure with epoxy, finish with bondo/filler, and paint to seal. Good luck swimbaitman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceaser Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 i like to bring my drill and lead to the water with me and test the baits while tied on and see what every little adjustment does. throw it all in a duffle bag. you can use epoxy putty that is cured white in less than an hour too.

JR Basser Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 On the water definitely helps,, any adjustments or addition can greatly effect the glide. I'm a tinkerer, always looking for that next edge. Fishing the delta is like nowhere else in my opinion, most of the glides out there swim a lot different once you involve some current and back wind. I'm very satisfied with the results, however, I'd didn't weigh the bait before and after to see how much lead I ended up adding, so duplicating or passing that info along is gonna be a bit tough...

MarkH024 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 The golden shiner looks real good. glad I went with that. I ordered that shiner about 5 weeks ago. I should have mine in the beginning of Summer next year..... Doesn't bother me much, wish he could find the help he needs to produce faster but oh well.

The golden shiner has orange fins and more yellow along the body. bassbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
