Or you could use a plain swimbait hook / bare jig hook for the top ones.

I always used black RTV on my old Ranger. Never had any issues there.

I think Vault uses Loctite, so that would probably work too.

Those look awesome, Basshunter! I've spent a lot of time tying flies and jigs in the past, I'm willing to bet you make achieving that look waaay easier to accomplish than it is in actuality! :laugh:

They don't work. I've tried them extensively, and they suck. Do NOT throw them.

:smile:

Same for me! Prevents issues with a knot getting stuck in a guide under load if you have a fish that surges at the boat, and they cast a lot better through the guides when the cast already has some...

I'm with Dave...I throw what I throw because they make the right sound and work. For me, a War Eagle is usually my go-to. Yep, I break them from time to time. But it's worth it to toss one out...

Like mentioned above, I usually have a harder time skipping with a heavier powered rod. If you can do it without any ill effects, seems like a good plan! Assuming you're going same brand/model...

This! Though I'd go with only the bottom 2. Or if you need to get it deeper, use heavier heads on the bottom 2 than the rest. Something like 1/8 on the top 3 and 1/4 on the bottom 2 should do the...

Anything with a keeper on the shank of the hook.

I don't like heads with a screwlock as I think they eat up your hook bite and orient the bait so that the point wants to go parallel with the...

I use the Orvis knot when tying on my hook, it also has a tag that points at the hook.

...and before you make fun of me for using such a simple knot, try it and do a comparison between it and...

I would think of them the same as any other "generic" LiFePO4 battery: Likely identical to the name brands at 1/3 the cost, but also likely without a usable warranty. That has been good enough for...

As far as I can see, only 1/2 oz, at least as of now. If the Megabass Jamaica Boa is any indication (and I suppose the only reason it would be is that it is also a high-end buzzbait from a JDM...

I have only used 1 set of the CFX ones -- you're right, the cores on those are different. They remind me much more of an EVA foam or something like that. It doesn't surprise me that they would be...

Super cool, Mark. Thanks for sharing!

I haven’t had a chance to try any of the soft touch grips yet (mostly because I’m too cheap), but I absolutely love the raw carbon fiber grips. I leave them raw (I would strongly suggest not coating...

Black.

If I had to go with my second choice, it'd be black too.

As for type...I'm a fan of the Jackall Kaera, Jackall Gavacho, Terminator Walking Frog Jr.

Wanted to dig this one back up, because Teckel has just re-released this bait as the MaxQueaker! https://www.instagram.com/p/C5bf_MBLDri/

Looks like The Hook Up is...

Sorry, I misread that as "the Mississippi." I also missed that the OP is from MS, which makes your previous comment make a ton more sense. I should not have responded that way!

Low visibility...

6 lb mono isn't too light at all. My day-in, day-out drop shot setup uses 7 lb Sniper but I've gone as light as 4 lb and significantly heavier in some situations as well. Plus, 7 lb Sniper is a...

I've done it on topwaters, especially when I'm catching smallmouth. Blade baits, too. It helps with not losing fish as the hook can spin several times before it binds up which really stops the fish...

I see muskies do it all the time, too. The muskie anglers always say they're up there warming up in the sun so they can digest after a big meal, and of course a muskie isn't too worried about...

That’s about all I use. You can put them into a Trick Worm pretty easily, just make sure it goes in straight else it will bust out the side. I use them in stick baits and Trick Worms mostly. A dab...

I throw them on 16 - 20 lb Sniper. Almost always braid to leader for me, but that's definitely personal preference.

For trailers, the options are endless. There's a train of thought that a...

Hopefully I'm not hijacking here... For those who have a lot of experience, how would you set one up if you were limited to two hooks? Try to get them to go for the 2 on the bottom, or one bottom...

I'll look to see if I have any photos! My boat and tackle are an absolute disaster right now as I kind of dumped stuff when I got back from Mexico and haven't had the chance to straighten things up...
