Playing around with Peaches
I have been playing around with this new squid color called peach and I think that it works.  A few guys on here have seen it, but not that many. A friend of mine that I gave some to landed a 47.5" bass the other day on it, that given the measurements went 42# and off to swim another day. |

His rubber is sick. I'll be fishing it tonight hopefully in that ditch. You have to see his jigheads that he pours as well. Super quality stuff. Mike I have to get you a few pieces of Alan's rubber and some lead.

Great job Alan. I will be trying them in morning if I can get up early enough to hit that tide.

Alan's plastic is superior to most plastics on the market. The action and durability is second to none.

Hey Alan,
It was good to meet you and your "product testing" crew on Wednesday while I fished with Rick. That day, fishing the big peach, we got a bunch of nice bass. Nothing under 30" and the largest was 39" that Rick pulled in.
Just the blow-ups on those things were heart stopping. All in all, not bad for daytime fishing. |
Best regards,
Roger

You may be right - or not. According to Rick, the angler, weight estimate was based on tables that account for length and girth measurements. The fish was released to fight another day.
Maybe you could post a couple pics of your 40's to give us a better idea of what they should look like? |
Best regards,
Roger

After two days of Hew England fishery Management Council Herring Oversight Committee Meetings I actually towed the skiff to the ramp at 4 am Sat morning just to watch the called 12-14 moh win actually blow an easy 25...real rough...
We went home and came back out for the evening tide...Alan's rubber caught the most...white/pearl was the best for me...two others from this board slayed em as well...best fish in the 20 pound class...I'll take it on an 8 foot rod !!!!!

I tried black and white with no fish this morning, then went to purple and had a fish on virtually every drift.

I'll have to look out for the jigheads because that is definitely one place that the ronZ is lacking but as far as the actual bait I don't think you can beat them. What weight range are the jig heads available in? |

1 1/2, 3, 5 oz. I believe. I'll let him post some pics and give the details on the hook and swivel configuration. I think the patent is pending. He's on a charter today hopefully he'll post tonight. |

Would love to see a 3/4 oz and 1 oz leadhead with a hook as strong as Andrus uses on their bucktails in those sizes. I still don't think anyone is making a leadhead with a strong hook in that size other than the Ronz tuna rigs. |

The heads are 1.5 and 3. There are a few 4oz floating around somewhere too  I have been and will look at a lighter head, but I have to make all the stuff, so I can't go to crazy with number of sizes/color combo's on either the plastic or lead. The biggest thing is having a good hook with a big shank in a small head. To fish big rubber you don't always need a heavy head, but you do need a big hook with a long shank, and a wider gap. |
