Sebile's big stuff
I picked up a couple of the pricey new plugs...They look cool and seem very rugged. I picked up a bonga jerk 165, the 228 9" magic swimmer and something else that looks like a shad...all about 3.75-4 oz. I got a 15# bass on the shad in 3 casts...so far so good. I have not fished the others yet.
That bonga jerk is like 40 bucks...I am afraid to cast it.

Change the split rings they will rust up.

I have the 7" magic swimmer (a gift) and it does swim nicely. Slow sinking and quite a wiggle when retrieved. Have a caught a few too.
Have the Bonga Minnow and Bonga Jerk but haven't tried them yet.

It swims nice, but I have not caught anything yet

I haven't taken mine out of the package yet, but the hooks look a little chintzy to me. If I ever decide to use it, I'll replace the split rings and hooks. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Take a look at the SPRO BBZ1 swimbaits too. They're super nasty. Been getting nice largemouths on them and will be taking them to the salt tonight. They look so real I've been getting numerous outsized laregemouths swimming right up to the bait and bumping it with their noses. Its really cool, with a little cover or an erratic retrive the fish slam them.

It's not the bait
