Hammer time Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I have lots of old warts and can't see any difference with the new ones. They both catch fish, it's all about putting it in front of one, they aren't gonna say "that's a new wart no thanks" Eight lb test banging on good wind blown swings and channel banks is the ticket. magicwormman, Champ188, Quillback and 1 other 4

I can add a BB or 2 if I want it to suspend. The ones I got ran great and had a little hunt to them. Champ188, magicwormman and Ranger Z22 3

I'm tired of trying to find the pre raps on eBay and paying $20 for them. If you are getting them for $20 you better buy as many as you can get. ?. The right color brings well over $50. It's crazy.

It's crazy. He's right. At $20 it doesn't even matter what color. Buy them, send them to Hughesy for a brand-new paint job and you're still ahead of the game. Hughesy 1
Alex Heitman Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 I won't spend more than $20. They go for a lot more but I have got 5 v37s for $65 before that were in great shape. Thanks guys. I will try out the predators. They don't hurt to lose like an old wart. I throw them so much you will lose then eventually.
Hammer time Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 I've lost all my phantom green and red years ago and still slay them on the new ones in the same color!

I RARELY ever lose a crank unless it is over 20 feet deep or is really tangled up in a cedar.
Alex Heitman Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 I only lose them in the accidental brush pile finds most of the time. Lure retriever usually works but not always. Also have lost some on some nice fish wrapping me up. I never had a lot of them so when you lose them it hurts. abkeenan 1

I like'm, but they come with junk hardware. But if you are a true wart junky type you are already swapping out hooks and rings anyways. I like the Teckel as well, but I also really like the Live Target HFC. Smalliebigs 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
