Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted February 15, 2010 Super User Posted February 15, 2010 lunker punker isn't a swimbait. its not even jointed! its just a big bait. i guess a 6'' and 8'' huddleston deluxe isn't a swimbait either : Quote
NOVA Angler Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 To me a swimbait doesn't have to have action imparted on it with the rod to give it a swimming motion. If you consider a Lunker Punker a swimbait, I guess you would have to consider a Zara Spook a swimbait too. I don't think being big and thrown on a swimbait rod makes it a swimbait IMO. Quote
THEbassmaster Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 you want the best fish catchin' swimbait for under $40.00 , get your self a 6" lunker punker !!! i can't belive no one has mentioned them : beat me to it lol. you can get the blemished on TW for around $24. one of the best topwaters "wake/swimbait" on the market. love seein bass explode on these puppies, n pike are even more explosive ;D Quote
Mattlures Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 there is nothing wrong with a punker. Good bait. It is a walk the dog bait but not a swimbait just like the huddle bug is not a swimbait. Quote

Rich Tehan Posted February 16, 2010 Author Posted February 16, 2010 What kind of line would you throw a BBZ-1 on? Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 What kind of line would you throw a BBZ-1 on? Floater - 20lb CXX Sinker - 20lb CXX or 100% Trilene Fluoro Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 Okay, I know the price was 40.00, but, for 20.00 more, you could get a Nate's 6" swimbait...well worth the extra 20.00 imho. Just a thought. Almost forgot..they are now at TW.. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 What kind of line would you throw a BBZ-1 on? Floater - 20lb CXX Sinker - 20lb CXX or 100% Trilene Fluoro be careful with 20 lb. CXX , i have cast off 3 8" hudds , 2 bbz-1 8" slowsinks and 1 fast sink with that line due to kinks in the line , CXX is so brittle in the higher lb. lines that if you get a kink in it , it WILL break !!! may i suggest better line , try Izorline XXX in 25 lb. line for baits weighing 4 or more oz. since going to this line (the XXX) i have not cast off a bait . for baits that weigh more than 7 oz. , i go up to 30 lb. , for baits over 10 oz. , go up to 40 lb. ....

Super User fourbizz Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 brittle? hardly the word i would choose to describe cxx. you shouldnt be fishing with kinked line of any lb test though. i refuse to throw my wake jr on anything heavier than 20 Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 brittle? hardly the word i would choose to describe cxx. you shouldnt be fishing with kinked line of any lb test though. i refuse to throw my wake jr on anything heavier than 20 i think you know what i mean !! CXX is a very dense line in test beyond 15 lb. , it is kinda like floruocarbon in it's feel . as for using 20 lb. CXX for swimbaits that weigh only 3 oz. (wake jr.) you could use 15 lb. line . i throw my Tylures 8" kicker trouts (wake/floater is 3 oz. and my slow sink is 3.5 oz.) on 12 lb. CXX ... Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 Learn to use your thumb and not cast beyond your ability. It's easy to blame equipment, "equipment no hit back." ;D Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted February 16, 2010 Super User Posted February 16, 2010 CXX is not brittle. and im sure that the chemical makeup of the line doesnt change above 15lb. Quote
