Mr_Scrogg Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If Norman makes a better Crank, cheaper, and satisfies your needs, then why worry about what other peoples experiences are with a company you think is crap? I love my C&C Customs Bladed Jigs. I could give a rats butt as to if people have had crap product from ZMan's Chatterbaits, or D&M Chatterbaits.
NorthFloBassin Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 I won't make fun of you or bash you but you said something that threw me a bit and when I tell you what I have to tell you, it is going to make you really think. You said you don't like the jig skirts as the Dirty jigs skirts have more action????? I know from this statement you aren't aware that every company uses the same silicone skirting as everyone else, there are subtle differences that you can fix easily, like how many strands are in the skirt, the length of the skirt, and how it is attached, is it tied with wire or does it use a band? I'm familiar with both brands and if you want the SK jig skirts to be more lively, simply cut 1/2" off the length and tie the skirt with some braid or a zip tie and then you will have a lively skirt but the material is all the same. I wasn't aware of that but the dirty jigs have more flare on the pause I've both in the water and played around with them and it could be just a subtle difference in the way there out together
NorthFloBassin Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 Your 14 years old and have some growing up to do, please save the negative threads for Facebook Bud I'll i said was that I wasn't impressed with there products and wondered if anyone else shared the same problems, is that such a terrible thing?
NorthFloBassin Posted July 9, 2014 Author Posted July 9, 2014 I have come to the conclusion that the English language is dead. I'll give you that I suck at typing and probably have 10000 errors
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 9, 2014 Super User Posted July 9, 2014 Bud I'll i said was that I wasn't impressed with there products and wondered if anyone else shared the same problems, is that such a terrible thing? Yes
Mr_Scrogg Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Are the jigs tied with EXACTLY the same number if strands, number of Silicone, number of living rubber? Are they both Banded? Or wire tied? All these are factors in skirt action
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 9, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 9, 2014 So what makes strike king baits better that's my question to you all It wasn't your question. Your original post was simply bashing Strike King baits and praising other baits. Strike King isn't my favorite brand in everything (or most things for that matter) but they make a quality product that are competitively priced for the most part. I have dozens and dozens of their squarebills, cranks, and XDs, I have yet to get one that didn't run straight out of the package. Even if I did, a slight bend with the pliers on the split ring hanger, problem solved. I'm not going to list the reasons I think Strike King baits are good because you have your opinion that I'm not going to sway with my opinion no matter how many examples or pictures of fish I have of baits caught on Strike King baits. So instead I'll read with amusement the post in this thread until it flames out and gets locked. 1
Mr_Scrogg Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 NorthFloBassin, You have dozens of crap baits? Go ahead and send them to me. Ill even pay for shipping 1
ColdSVT Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Jeez i put nine lbs of fish in the boat in under ten mins of a 6xd the other day...one five and one four lb fish...stupid 6xds lol Caught an 11lb hybrid striper on the 6xd yesterday on 12# flouro with a palomar knot even! My go in heavin the humanity of it all
gnuisance Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I'll give you that I suck at typing and probably have 10000 errors Actually you don't. Your posts are pretty well thought out and coherent for the most part. This forum is sponsored by Rage Tail which is a Strike King subsidiary. There are more Rage Tail apologists in this forum than you can shake a stick at. I gave up trying to get information on how to rig or fish the baits here because every time you offer a hint of criticism then guys pop up and say how you are fishing or rigging the bait wrong because there is no way there could be something wrong with the bait itself. My experience with Rage Tail products is that they have awesome action and catch fish but fall apart way too quickly. I'm willing to sacrifice a little bit of action for more durability but that's just me. In regards to guys just posting pictures and memes as a response to your post, this is a tackle forum and there is nothing wrong with what you posted. Opinions about tackle should be welcome here. You don't like strike king and you offered an explanation as to why. I will say that not all sponsors are bad because I have had a number of good experiences with Siebert outdoors and I think they make very good quality, reasonably priced jigs. 1
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted July 9, 2014 BassResource.com Administrator Posted July 9, 2014 To the OP, You are certainly entitled to your opinion but these threads Never produce ANYTHING in the way of productive information. Fish the baits you prefer and I'd recommend sticking to posting positive thoughts, ideas and reports. Good Luck. A-Jay ^^ This ^^ And scene... 5
