dominioncaster Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Anyone weighted a mothership to suspend or countdown? I really want to do this but wanted to see if anyone else was messing around with theirs and had any pointers. I've had good luck doing this with other baits but have never tried to sink any baits this large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass_blaster Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 My cojones are three sizes too small to start modifying my mothership. Good luck to you if you give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbass Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Straight braid customs make some weighted hook for the regular UFO that will make it count down. They come in a set of 3 different weights. basskickinrednick, StriperAddict and Bass_blaster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchris Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 hes working on a crankdown model i havent messed with mine cause everythings frozen here but based on how it sits and swims i think it would take a lot of weight to make it suspend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It taking too much weight is my concern. I wasn't sure if I was trying to do something that just won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggfeast Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I think @bassbass method with the Straight braid custom's weighted hooks would be a good idea. We've also added a tear-drop weight to the nose of the regular UFO to get it to be a slow sink. Not sure how big of a weight will be needed for the Mothership, but i'd give it a try. Easier way to adjust its sink without doctoring it up too much bassbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
