I didn't know they had a baby one. I have a 8 inch with all kinds of teeth marks and a 10 inch that has yet to be bitten. How big is the Baby? Is it the 6 inch model? I have thought about getting one, interested in hearing your thoughts after using it a time or 2.

Not to get to far off the topic but I just purchased my first Reef Hawg (8inch)the other day....dont know why it took me so long to get around to buying one...but.......

How do you work this lure? Short snaps/pulls of the rod like a suick or is it more a underwater walk the dog sorta thing?

Thanks for the help.

Short quick snaps with slack in between the snaps. I love them babies, I picked up a smaller fish Sat morning on Mantrap on a black/white baby reef hawg. They are a classic bait that offers good action with a smaller size for more finicky fish. I actually prefer the babies over the full size ones, I think the smaller version rolls and swing more erratic.

i always thought that you just casted out reef hawgs and slowly reeled them in? i bought a ton of gear and i guess i just dont know how to fish some of it. blush.gif well thats good to know about the short pulls. maybe now i might catch one before i die grin.gif

My brother uses a lot of reef hawgs. I personally can't make them work properly. My brother retrieves his lures much faster than I do with the short quick jerks. I prefer pig jrs which swing from side to side more with my slower style retrieve.

One of his originals is the large perch colored reef hawg. He has caught so many large northern on it up in Canada that there is almost no paint left on it. He'll often catch a fish on that beat up old reef hawg when nothing else is working.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
