Do you guys load these things? They seem awfully light to cast any distance.
|
Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

5 3/4 inch Saltiga minnows.
Change split rings and hooks.
You will not find a swimming plug that catches more bass....full stop.
But you will pay for it.

XRap
Andy,
That big fish I got this year with you down at the canal was on an X Rap. With the tinkers around this year it was a nice match the hatch type bait. Distance is certainly a function of weight but also aerodynamics and of course rod. I fish a XRA 1205 with 30lb PP and was getting it out there just fine. Its not a pencil for the blitzes in the middle or anything but both the X and the XP are over an ounce with a small thin profile and cast well IMO. I was able to get out to fish most of the time. In the fall AM tides it was either one of those two plugs or one of Mikes pencils on my rod 50% of the time.

My regular rod 11' rated 3-8oz doesn't throw them too well. I will try my new backup rod (Tylers new rod) which is 9' rated 1-4 oz. I suppose thats why rods have ratings on them...he has my old penn 750 with 40# PP on it. Is it spring yet? |

10-1/2' Mojo rated 3/4-4, Saragossa 8000, 40# Stren Braid, launches a SP minnow. They have some sort of weight-transfer load in them that shifts to the tail when you cast. Like all minnow swimmers, any kind of wind kills the cast--except a tail-wind, obviously.
Upgrade to #4 HD splits, and 6x strong VMCs in 1/0 on the belly, size 1 on the tail. SWE still carries the 6x hooks. Small fish can bend out the stock hooks.
I had my best results in the pre-dawn.
