Members cjgentile13 Posted April 13, 2014 Members Posted April 13, 2014 Mighty impressive catch there.
dtrs5kprs Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Yes, it is! I have caught all three bass species in one day on the Rock with them (four if you count the meanies). It's deadly on whites at LOZ in the fall, too. I get mine in bulk from Brannan's online store. Oh, and sorry @techo - I just had to give back to the forum. -Troy And shockingly BPS actually had some today. Have been pouring one for years in smoke/purple and smoke with large white flake.

Members RogueAgent Posted April 14, 2014 Author Members Posted April 14, 2014 And shockingly BPS actually had some today. Have been pouring one for years in smoke/purple and smoke with large white flake. We caught them on both the pearl white / black back and the blue thunder colors on Saturday. Smallies really liked that blue thunder. On those baits we just used 1/8th oz jig heads you might use for crappie tube jigs - with the short shank hooks. They were hitting them so hard you really didn't have to set the hook, just a sweeping hook set as soon as they stopped the bait with your rod tip low to the water throughout the retrieve and during strike. A quick net man is essential with those little hooks. One smallie was around 18" and the hook was nearly bent straight. Next time I'll probably go with more of a swim bait jig head with a larger hook if I can find some in 1/16th and 1/8th oz that don't tear the front of the bait up too badly. Those bait saver molds are handy for plastics with more girth but these minnows are so thin they tend to split apart if you aren't careful. Would have loved to have been back out there today before this storm. Might go out Wednesday after work. - Troy
