Fishrman Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Friend of mine, Doyle Price, someone on here might know him, said that he has caught them years ago on Table Rock on a red jerkbait. Thought he was crazy, but maybe not. I consider Doyle to be a good fisherman, well, better than good.
Sore Thumbs Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Well guys. I went ahead and bought one. I will test it out and let you guys know how I do. Being a slow floater might be advantageous. I can take weight back off in spring and try catching some shallow fish around spawning coves. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
jolicious Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I can't find a suspending model. Do you guys think that I can take a slow rising model and weigh it down to suspend or is that gonna mess with the action? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2 I put a #4 hook on the front and #6 hooks on the middle and rear hangers. Also will use a split ring that's a couple sizes larger on the front hanger as well. Lastly, if the lure I'm dialing in is particularly stubborn; I'll add a strip of lead tape between the mid and front hangers
Champ188 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Good work, jolicious. That's a lot cleaner look than wrapping solder wire around a hook.
Sore Thumbs Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah. I have some suspend dots if I need them. I usually just add split rings to the front 2 hooks. If that doesn't work I will have to do bigger hooks. I love those outward barbs on those megabass hooks. They are nasty. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
jolicious Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Dang, Champ, thank you! Hearing that from you is quite an honor! One thing I forgot to add is that I'll also use a really large (6mm) oval split ring for the line tie. Helps with keeping the head down, but also helps the lure be a little more erratic. These blanks that I buy don't always want to suspend nose down, so I've had to do some experimenting
Champ188 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I'm like you about wanting that nose-down attitude, jolicious. Not sure why the bass seem to like it that way but in my experience, they do.
