Coupla Lure Reviews

[Gavin]

The Tacklewarehouse fairy landed on the doorstep today and I had some new candy to try.

First up...Strike King Sexy Dawg Jr....1/2oz...tad shorter and a bit fatter than a Sammy 100...walks super easy...sits about 30 degrees tail down at rest and it walks easier than a Sammy 100..great action...cant wait to get it on some fish..stock colors suck....may need some adjustment with the spray can.

Next...IMA Rouba....dont know what to make of this bait...radical side to side..Havent tried anything like it...will see.

Next..River2Sea Bubble Walker 80...wanted something bigger than a LC G-Splash...this one walks easy, spits and bubbles...lots of roll...very aggressive bait...Wish I had a Mega Pop Max to compare it too...

That is all.

Gavin, you're killing me. Don't you know I'm a lure junky, especially topwaters. Maybe I should return to my roots and just use a 4" purple Creme worm, I caught fish. Naw, I'm also addicted to the topwater explosion. THE HORROR!!

Got a pop max if you want to try it Thursday

Nose hook your trailer...problem solved...except you'll lose trailers a lot when fish shake them off. War Eagle spinnerbaits are about the best I've found, compact, run true, catch fish.

Great reviews, wish there were pictures of the lures in review.

Change those hooks on that Zip'n Ziggy...The factory hooks are a #8 and they bend easilly...I replaced mine with the KVD Elite Short Shanks in #6 and they work well.

Thanks Gavin any color suggestions to get started with?

[Gavin]

Buy whatever color you have confidence in ...I like minnow colors with a white belly on topwaters......some flashy some not. My Roumba is in Bluegill.

Think the Ziggy walks better than a stock Sammy 85.... The hooks on the Dawg Jr...seem to be decent...They arent Daichi Death Traps, but good enough for now. Will see if it can rival the Sammy 100..and it just might.

Yeah, I think the hooks on the Sexy Dawg are pretty good. I was getting a better hookup ratio with it than with the Sammy until yesterday. Missed a LOT of fish on it yesterday. Should have tried something smaller.
