    New Vixens

    Is it just me or do the new Vixens not cast all that well? I can’t seem to get the distance out of these as other similar baits.

    It's not just you, it doesn't seem to have a very effective weight transfer system and the hooks are too small and anemic. It does walk well and make a heck of a lot of ruckus. I lost one of my personal biggest TN bass (on a stock current model Vixen) this past late September on Bedford lake due to the hooks not having enough gap and bite...I don't ever set hook on Topwater,I sweep and I use a mod-fast taper rod. FWIW, this bass had the Vixen good,the hooks just pulled out.
