ceelobrim Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 i bought a deps 175 slow sinking. i tried using it the other day and noticed it doesnt really sink, kind of suspends just underneath the surface. Am i just being to impatient in letting it sink or are they EXTREMELY slow sinkers. havent had a chance to try it in a pool or anything yet.

BigSlant Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 They should sink a lil faster..there is a ballast in the tail that should fill with water..maybe it's plugged up..tho if you have a suspender that's a shallow water killer fish that bad boy in the 2-4 water around weed lines and watch it get crushed fishaholic211, Mulder, ATFISHING1234 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or like Anthony said that bait could be killer. BigSlant and ceelobrim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceelobrim Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 is not a suspending, box said slowing sinking but hey what do i know maybe i read it wrong haha will check into the ballast on the tail though thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 None are sold as suspending..just saying that could be a shallow water gem..I have a few that all sink a lil different and the OG are more consistent..some swim for a few casts a$$ up until the ballast fills..the new ones are mass produced..doubt they are all tested for sink and swim wallyc and ceelobrim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Basser Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 It's probably a foam core, og,, and someone most likely already did the work of tuning it to "suspend". I have several that I tuned to get as close to suspending as possible,, and like Slant said, they're killers, especially during post spawn around fry! ceelobrim and Mikey99 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceelobrim Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 sweet maybe i did get an og deps then. Is there a way to tell by just looking at the bait? And nobody tuned it because it came straight out of the box. Unless they did it prior to packaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) The interior body at the joint will be a yellowish foam vs. Clear plastic.. Also the box will say "NEW" slide swimmer..

kayl Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 The interior body at the joint will be a yellowish foam vs. Clear plastic.. Also the box will say "NEW" slide swimmer.. Didn't all the OG ones come in silent killer boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Didn't all the OG ones come in silent killer boxes? I believe so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Water temps could be a factor. Happens with jerkbaits all the time. Same bait that suspends might rise in warm water etc..what others said, could have very special bait on your hands...could also be slide swimmer conversion I luv mine and it runs shallow.

dominioncaster Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 You sure you didn't get a sk conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtnasty Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Sounds like a SK conversion, I have a SK conversion some dude did over in Japan and it fishes exactly how you describe, its deadly on shallow flats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceelobrim Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Would throwing it in a pool be ok to test or would the chlorine mess up the bait, stupid question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Would throwing it in a pool be ok to test or would the chlorine mess up the bait, stupid question Haha had to..nah man bait will be fine but it might not be the same results as the actual body of water you'll fish in basskickinrednick, andrewbee and ceelobrim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
