hey EX. have you tried using red hooks with plastics ? it seems that they are all the rage lately. i haven't converted yet( to cheap!want to use up the ones i have first) i can see where they could be an advantage on cranks, but was wondering! del

Yes del I have... I personally can't say that I have done better with red hooks on plastics. I have caught fish, but I can't say for sure I couldn't have caught that fish on regular hooks. I have also used red hooks on cranks, and topwater. The only one when I feel that it has helped is topwater. You might want to give that a try!

They all pretty much work the same, I bought some on hsolist 50/7.50 they are a little tougher so they don't have as much action, but they last alot longer. If you put the bait in front of the fish they bite the same.

I agree - the copies don't ever seem to be quite as soft as the senkos and not as much action. They are generally tougher and sink rate is usually very close though. The only concern I have on some copy baits is if the bass will hold onto the bait as long as they would a softer senko - under more negative conditions. I haven't ever noticed that to be a problem, but it seems like it could potentially be.

Dan, have you tried the Strike King 5" zero yet, I am amazed at the number of fish you can catch on just one zero before it is to torn up to use again.

Hey Delmuts.... I think when you bite a piece off, your are suppose to spit it out....

I just got the inside scoop that Mr.Twister Exude is going to join this market... The bait is going to be called the Comida(spanish for food). This lure will break down in water releasing more salt on each cast, not like many of the baits which have the salt trapped inside. Supposedly this lure was being tested by the inventor and caught the state record for LA.. 14.1oz.. cant wait to get my hands on some!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
