reedaggie10 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Got my first bite on an 8" ROF5 a couple weeks ago but missed. Went back a week later, after buying a couple 68's, and caught this guy on a 68 ROF5. Im addicted now. Stocking up on several more 68's and more 8"ers. I went out yesterday to throw this same bait and launched it into a pine tree about 20' up tried to finesse it out for about 5 minutes and realized I was going to have to snap my line. Luckily when the line snapped the bait fell in the water!! So I hide my gear, climb in the water and swim across the pond to where my bait went fell in, scrounge around the bottom with my feet for about ten minutes until I somehow find it Swam back across the pond, tied the bait back on, and returned to fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reedaggie10 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Thanks guys! Im defenantly addicted to the hudd now and will always have one tied on! Can't wait to get out on a lake and throw them instead of just local ponds. Can't stop thinking about applications and places to throw them/what I can do to improve.
