I have some older traps and you can feel the difference in the paint from the new ones. The only traps that I have had chip and flake off though have been the chrome w/ blue back. They seem to be flaking off just from casting them.
I like the Zoom Super Chunks. I will also use tubes with the front end cut off, plastic worms, and just about any other type of plastic bait I can get on the jig hook.
To go with a finesse baitcaster I have. Right now the reel is on a 5-1/2 foot casting rod and I throw light crankbaits with it. I would like to put it on a 6-1/2 or 7-0 foot rod and use 1/8 and 1/4 ounce jigs. Does anyone have any ideas for around $100?
I switch to a bigger weight in the wind, but a bigger weight tends to get stuck more when you're working it along the bottom. When the weight gets stuck, don't pull it, tighten up the slack and raise the rod up high and pull easy. This will help the weight get over the rock, tree, stump, etc.
I keep asking my two daughters if they would like to go down to the community lakes and catch some bluegill or crappie, but they would rather go shopping with my wife. I guess I'll just have to ask my nephew if he wants to go.
