CaliBassin Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) Hi Su! Thanks to @Jinxd12I got my hands on my first slammer and Tonight I was able to throw it and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. No other baits produced and the slammer bite was hot and heavy. I was fishing it above submerged weed beds and a slow retrieve seemed to be the ticket. After catching multiple 3-5 pounders I was messing with my rod while the slammer was chilling in the middle of the lake for 4-5 minutes. Next thing I know the slammer gets destroyed. I reeled into the fish and knew it was a giant. A couple seconds later she jumps and I can see that it is in the 6.5-7.5 range. (Giant for me) next thing I know she goes straight down and gets stuck in the weeds. Nothing I can do. Felt no more head shakes so I knew she was gone...

Also cranks down pretty good on a long cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllThingsFishing Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 You put it to em! Great catches man! I have the exact same slammer only in 9 inch. Now I have the exact same one in 7 inch on the way. The slammer just flat out catches em! You'll have at least 4 in your box in no time though!
