  1. Oh man my pocket is in for it now haha... I'm just glad megabass doesn't make 'em!
  2. If you're worried about weight the only real option is a dry cell and it's going to cost you.
  3. When dealing with cover situations, I'd go 30# braid and then add a leader as necessary if needed. Smackdown if you're ok with the price, it's the thinnest and most supple I've used and will likely behave the best on spinning gear.
  4. Looks great! I just hope it's better than the shad walker- the tail really got in the way of the hookups. Definitely will buy though... I've been waiting for something like this for a long time- and I have never had a bad frog from LT. This should be really REALLY good!
  5. I love these things. I mostly use a Roboworm tail if I want a chunkier wag and a Slug-Go SS tail if I want to go more whippy. (they are also way more durable) the latest I've tried was a Z-man crusteaz, but haven't had enough success to comment on how well it works together. You have to keep it tiny if you're going to keep the hook exposed though.
  6. Megabass, Gan Craft and Deps all saw fit to give such an option and they all work... Very well actually. The 5-6"/1oz is a great all around size and you don't need a huge swimbait setup to throw them.
  7. Man that looks almost exactly like the iSlide- which is KILLER. Love the use of magnets to keep the hooks flush. Such a sweet setup. I really hope they make a 1oz or less version!
  8. The season is young. Ask me again in October!
  9. If they're keeping bass they're pretty much an idiot anyways, so there probably won't be any talking them out of it. Ugh, who actually wants to eat LMB anyways- especially big gnarly old ones?? Yuck. Enjoy the mercury and parasites, bro.
  10. That is just unruly... And I like it.
  11. Marketing. It's like magic but without the poof of smoke.
  12. dcorp should change his name to "Pile 'O Deps" Coincidentally I bet that's what's actually at the end of a rainbow should you ever chase one down
  13. Well it's not exactly suited for every cast. Throw it at heavy cover and you're gonna have a bad time. That said, when it's called for it's EXTREMELY hard to beat. Fish really do just absolutely crush them. It's insane how well they work- but I'm still not going to throw it every time! My most expensive is either my 115 Slide Swimmer or my Gan Craft S-Song. Can't remember which but actually I have probably 5 swim/glide baits right in that range. Eeler, iSlide, Killer Compass etc... But to each his own. I work hard so I buy what I want. . I've caught the most on the slide swimmer though. Not even sure how many but trust me... It produces!
  14. I bought one of these thinking it looked cool. It broke in my hand trying to align the hook because it was VERY badly misaligned. Never again, Seblie. Never again.
  15. You might be surprised.
  16. They're cool but this has been on the Predators (iirc) for a while now. I'll stick with a custom jon if I'm going to use a TM personally... Until I hit the lottery anyways haha
  17. Awwwwww yeah!! I throw the little (115) ones quite a bit. They are a blast to fish and they get hit like crazy. Went for the flash carp but the nude blacks are so sick. Nice work man, have you seen the Butch Brown Bass pattern? So cool. Ugh. Lottery, y u no pick me again?!??
  18. Unless you throw tiny cranks like warts all day or something I wouldn't. I went 705 because I wanted it to work for EVERYTHING and it pretty much does. Even the small 3/8oz cranks it does ok with as long as you don't reel them in too fast. I use mine for everything from cranks to glides and swimbaits to jerkbaits to spinnerbaits to wake baits... It really does it all. I feel like the 704 would top out too low to truly match the versatility of the 705. It would be a fantastic compliment to have them both but if you're only getting one I'd 100% go 705. Edit: Just saw your post. Nice work!
  19. People convince themselves of any number of reasons. Find yours and pick whatever you think will work best- you'll feel most confident throwing it and that's all that really matters IMO.
  20. I really like Uptons Dragontails. They're like bigger Roboworms with awesome colors and I love that little spade tail. My favorite colors are Hershey Blue, Diamond Craw and Ayu. They smell like candy too which is nice over that fake garlic abomination smell.
  21. I have one. Love it. Put a Curado I on it w/ 12# Tatsu and couldn't be happier. You really feel that glass come in when you set the hook for sure. I was on the fence when I was shopping but I'm glad I went with it. Very versatile.
  22. Yeah you will wear the frog a few times no matter what, but I tend to just set the hook as soon as it's hit. If you give them a few seconds they're overwhelmingly likely to spit it out before you set. Also some people like to bend their hooks up and out, some like to add trailer hooks and some like to put upsized hooks in place of the stock ones. It all depends on you, OP. So get out there and give it a try. You will find your comfort zone.
  23. Bento minnows on t-rig or drop shot Uptons Dragontails in Diamond Craw on swing head Frog Glide baits.
  24. I don't even wanna say haha... They're getting harder to find and I'm scared someone else is going to start sniping me out.
  25. Is it the same type of machine, same pressure and epoxy? Wait nevermind I don't actually care haha
