dam0007 Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Got one of these via one of the subscription services, first cast with it had a follow and a light hit I missed at the boat. Few casts later got stuck in some rip rap, after that the thing wouldn't swim right. Like you would have to yank real hard to get the wiggle going. I've had tons of lures get stuck and loosened and unless it broke it still wiggled right. Any of you guys experience this with these? I like the light rattle sound would be good for a few places up here. Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 Did the hook get "all bent outta' shape"? If there isn't enough resistance from the hooks, it will not wiggle properly or as much. Quote

Super User J Francho Posted April 20, 2014 Super User Posted April 20, 2014 A chip in the nose shouldn't effect it that much. I don't use that brand, but my Aruku Shads and Xcaluburs get beat up to where the paint is gone and they still work great. Quote

fish365 Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 check to see if the chip has cracked it and if it is filling with water. livetarget is my favorite lipless crank. have several that have no paint or eyes left and they still catch fish Quote
dam0007 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 What one do you have? http://www.***.com/Koppers_Live_Target_Gizzard_Shad_Vibration_Trap/descpage-KLTGSHV.html#multiview Quote
dam0007 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 I'm at a loss here, I've never had a bait literally stop working unless it was completely destroyed. Just the golden black color on nose is chipped a bi. No cracks. Re verified that tonight, it's not filling with water. Quote
jerzeeD Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Send it back to Koppers. They will replace it for free. I had a problem with a blue back herring swimbait and they replaced it no questions asked. Quote
