JakefromClearLake Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Finally got a chance to get out and throw one of these and loved the action. However it started foul hooking itself on the cast constantly. The line would get wrapped in the treble hook so bad that when I would pull the line back out it would put a fat knick in the line. Anyone else have this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-camarena Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Never had that issue. The issue i had was losing a giant after my line slipped through the line tie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Never had that issue. The issue i had was losing a giant after my line slipped through the line tie ^ This. Be sure to close the line tie tight with pliers! I've noticed the bait doesn't like sinking very well and helicopters on the fall. Try letting it sink on slightly taught line so the hooks can't come around and grab up the slack as easily. Hope this helps!

JakefromClearLake Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Ive had the same problem so i stopped throwing it. Not a bait im confident in at all Sucks cause I had a nice thump within the first few cast's but after a few hours it started foul hooking every cast. Tried messing around with a snap on to see if it made a difference and same thing keep happenening. Maybe it's just a small percentage of bait's this is happening to?

Ceaser Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I've thrown mine without issue, but I also changed the hook and location a bit. Its snags occasionally but nothing to bad, maybe that small change helped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggfeast Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I threw one around for quite a bit on Manny Chee's boat and had no issues really. I originally didn't like the swim on video, but after using it with Manny schooling me up, I kinda fell in love with it haha. Just ordered a bunch and plan to use it a lot. Gonna keep an eye on the line-tie issue tho Rod Wynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
