No, they can be purchased at most quality tackle shops.

I use a 1/2 oz chatterbait head most of the time. I make my own baits, and have had great luck with them.

I use both, I assume that for the sake of this discussion we can put Co-poly in the same class as mono. I use FC for my medium and deeper diving crankbaits, or if abrasion is a factor. For shallow running baits that I want to keep shallow I use Mono.

The lake level at Sooner is maintained by pumps, they pump water from the Arkansas river into the lake. It was filled the same way.

I had good luck this year with the Zoom Z Drop. Durable bait that is inexpensive and effective.

But you still recommend Shimano as the better product, correct?

Are you sure you didn't mean Pinnacle?

Nice deal.

There will be no shortage of people to tell you which one is the "best". See how many of them tell you why.

Seriously?

entirely depends on what you are trying to prove or disprove.

100M is capable of 1/8oz. Rod choice is very important.

You might be on to something.

Would you consider the Deps Buzzjet a wakebait?

Have you ever asked yourself what exactly it is that you are truly fishing for.

Almost all electrolytes require a fluid like water.

A nice powdered coated jig head is always desirable to me. It makes the jig look finished. Does it catch more fish, debatable. But one thing it does is makes the bait look good in my eyes and that instills confidence. Confidence in fishing is tough to aquire and very easy to loose, so anything that helps in that department is desirable to me.

I keep seeing the last couple of words in the title of your post, "Smell" and "Stickiness", makes me think about a different time in my life.

You may have a problem... just sayin. Lucky enough for you this is a great support group and we would never encourage you to purchase unless it was absolutely needed.

I think the golf club monkey is a distant cousin, if I am not mistaken.
