    Send me a couple to Florida . I have 3 bass easily over 5 pounds sitting on beds that won't bite. Even tied up a Stevie Rig today and they just swim away. Might be the fact it was 32 degrees last night. These fish are Huge and fun to watch swim around.

    That’s what I figured.... I’d still be willing to test them for you this spring.

    I just ordered the same hook in a #1 and #2... Slightly smaller in diameter and length. Not sure if I can make them fit into the mold. The goal is to have a stout hook on the ned rig. Many want this, and complain about straightening or breaking off the ned shroom hooks. I also want a better/more real looking head for our clear water sight feeding smallies.

    BTW... The fish will eat the first one just fine.... No need for me to give away my baits for testing....

    Who said anything about giving them away? Do I look like Bernie Sanders?

    You offering to "Test" them was my first conclusion... Trust me, I get lots of people wanting free stuff. I pay for everything myself and have less money than most.

    I have something to trade you if you can spare one or two tail spinners and ned heads. And I do mean 1 or 2.

    I think Mike needs to be on an episode of Tackle Hoarders. Keep building um and posting photos. Funny I am fishing the Bassmaster Harris Open tomorrow as a CO.. I have 3 rods rigged with a Chatterbait, Senko and Lipless Crank. It's easy down here. Taking my flipping stick along just in case.

    Bass are not that smart with a pea sized brain.... We all know they can be caught on shoelaces and cigarette butts. You just need to use the color they are biting...

    Call me crazy... I just ordered 3,000 Gamakatsu heavy wire #1 black nickle hooks for these heads. #1 seems to be the most desireable size for most. Many prefer smaller.

    I've been telling you, your head was too heavy and your hooks to large for over 2 years, now you're gonna believe.

    If you had giant Great Lakes smallmouth where you fish, you would see the need for the biggest hook you can get away with. We are not using these to catch little largemouth that you chase LOL.

    That eye looks good. Does the mold go smaller? You'll want lighter.

    I have been begging do it molds to make it lighter than 3/16 of an ounce. It will be soon. :-)

    Ask Mark G what he thinks :-)
