-ebby-

Yes this is photofinish there is no why i could paint anything close to this

My attempt at a one piece deadstick bait. Same size and profile as my 3 piece ebbygill bait.

Well that can be fixed I just need to work on my casting under and around trees :-[ :-[ :-[. Also i was looking at the jackall giron shad its 20 what do you think of this http://www.***.com/descpageSWMJACKALL-JG.html#pImage i have one of these in the bluegill..i like its action in the water. I"ve caught a few on it , probably would be more if i threw it more often.. I like the giron's action to although i haven't used it to much seems like a good durable bait

thanks for the response i might be up for a trade closer to spring RH or LH?

Looking for someone who has used this rod and how they liked it. I am looking at it for a frog rod.

i would like to hear about the vendetta also

I would like to here someones experience with this rod as well.

thanks for the input have you used the vendetta or is that just a general guide?

I am looking to get one or two vendetta casting rods and i am wondering what the best length and action would be for a couple different techniques. First one i am looking for a little bit heavier rod for throwing frogs in thick weeds and hopefully work decent for small swimbaits also. Needs to have the right tip to be able to cast hollow frogs but i am hoping there is one that can cast small swimbaits also. Second i am looking for one that can cast senkos easily and sensitive enough to feel all the taps. Also maybe a third one for small and medium swimbaits up to about 6 inches like the hardgill. I am not good at know what type of rod will be good for certain techniques so i am hoping someone who has used these rods for the techniques or at least has a good general idea of what action taper ect makes for a good technique rod can give me some advice on getting the right one. I am looking for rods that can do a couple techniques well. Thanks for any help.

are the ones at tackle warehouse the real ones? Are they the good ones is the main question?

Bluegill baits i use are (from highest price to lowest) Mattlures hard gill, SBI Ebbygill, baitsmith soft gill (madgill maybe?) , and giron. I tend to use the hardbaits more often than the baitsmith just because they are hard and those 3 baits cover most conditions. The mattlures is the biggest and has a nice s swimming action the ebbygill is smaller than the mattlures so i tend to use it more often and it has similar action. The giron is the smallest bait and it has a darting action (its a 2 piece bait instead of 3 like the other 2)

Yep trail and error and make sure there is enough room between the joints

I dont care what you call them all i meant by it was SBI put a new joint on it that was not my original joint

Sorry should have been more clear Bill at swimbaits inc (SBI) redesigned the joint of the production model that is what i meant by SBI joint

All but the crappie have the new SBI joints and look even better in person.
