I have 2 and they both swim great BB rigged. He is a good friend of mine if you can't get ahold of him I can probably help you out in that regard. Its got the original jig hook and then a stinger but it was running fine originally when I rigged the stinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swam fine off a creep on bottom and slightly faster. Anything more it came back on side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dheath2 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I would also add that adding stingers or BB rigging baits can throw off the balance of the bait and make it not swim correctly. This is especially true with flat sided baits like his G2 pond shiner. If its off it can tip the bait to one side or another and make it swim crooked. I've had issues with a couple baits in the past and Joe replaced them without issue. And because of him and the effectiveness of his baits I own a lot. More than any other soft bait in my collection by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle1387 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Update. Im dumb Went out to to fish for smallies and before leaving i decided to try to add more lead and try to find the problem. Turns out the wire trailer I had rigged had a small tag end pushing the fin slightly to the left. Cut him off and she swims perfect now. Shocked thats all it was but I guess since there's no foam harness it was just enough to push it over NEbucketmouth19, urbanhick, MA Frog Man and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yet to hook up with it but that hook is MEAN, I'm pretty sure on the site he said its a 8/0 beast molded into the lead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassturds Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Haven’t gotten fish on the 10 inch trout but I had a monster pickerel take a whack at it once. I was kinda mad, cuz I felt hit, set hook then 30 seconds later I see the pickerel grab the tail of it! Missed the stinger hook!
