[b1gf1sh1]

only five? hmmm. i'll try...

1)Heckler Medium or Full Size Ride - Black/Orange Firesnake

2) Spinnerbait- hybrid deertail/rabbit wool. dangerous to everything.

3) Swim-Whizz. sucker or perch pattern any size or Believer any size in pearl white or black.

4)Big Daredevelle- Red/White stripe or custom modification.

5)toss up, storm shallow thunder in sucker or mullet pattern or a super shad rap in tennesee shad.

i picked the five or so i think i used the most last year and scored with (Just added size for the heck of it). didn't do too much really deep or even really near a lot of weeds much. just depends on where your going to fish i guess.

but i'm working on something right now, just something that seemed missing out there, that might supplant one or make it impossible to only do 5 or so next year, lol. thinking of calling it

''The Super-Chumper''. i'll have it up on the site if i ever get decided on the prop blades for it and get it tested.

yeah, I knew I had seen that color before...almost ordered that color last summer but didnt get the hang of it. I might have to now

CJAC- More will chime in on the Weagles....I think???? ha

[TrophyEyes]

Has anyone ever really thought about the names of these baits? It seems like some guy drinking in his garage is making up all the names for these lures. I just find it very funny. Maybe because I was the kid that giggled in the back of class whenever something inappropriate was said.

[guideman]

It's hard to pick only five but if I could only take five I guess it would be these.

1. Double 8 Glittertail.

2. Hellhound.

3. Topraider. Any color, as

long as it's black.

4. Suick. 9 inch weighted

5. Nitro. 6,7 or 8".

[b1gf1sh1]

i'm thinking this one just might be a new must have

different colors for me, probably orange black and white, but this hot pearl pink and purple pearl with white tail aint bad. Heckler ''Badger WT''. eye on bottom and that's a one piece .062 true thru-wire.

go for it Scoot. not like anybodys fightin' over it yet.

i'd even throw in a couple matching jigs if you want. one 2 oz. and one 3 oz. both fireballs with saltwater hooks (not cheapo's)

same colors and pattern (maybe not pearl though) but the hair would be 100% Angora Rabbit not deer.. or...?... it's the least i can do for a repeat customer.
