SacPig916 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Started testing this bait on 5/4, ran straight so I went ahead with painting. I had to have 1 extended joint to get the exact action I wanted, you can imagine that this does not go back n fourth, but more of a half circle. This has 260lb barrel swivles for hook hangers (still testing a few things with this also), for DIY rotating hook hangers. They can be pegged with steel for a very strong connection. For testing, I took a dog leash and had twins pull on it while I held the bait. After seeing that I felt a bit more comfortable. As of now I have 2 baits with these and they are solid, need to see how they are in about 6 months or so. Went ahead and Painted Equipped and ready for battle, Assist cord on rotating hangers. I really like a lot of hang, nearly 1 to 1.2x the size of the wake as seen in most of the baits I make. The hookup ratio is amazing with these and I still dont have issues with them tangling or going over the bill as long as I make sure to thumb my reel and straighten out the bait before it lands. I think the extra effort is worth having the low hooks though. First fish, not the 5 though :) Then I went out in the morning and got a 5 on it! It's so dang cool when they miss, then come back to grab it again. 5lber 20200505_095645.mp4 Edited May 7, 2020 by SacPig916 Extra Picture, added back El_Weruso and Bigbass2320 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
