Megastink Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 They're most popular on herring lakes, which we don't really have up here. But I curious who you all prefer. Let everyone know! Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted February 29, 2016 Super User Posted February 29, 2016 NOT, i repeat, NOT the strike king version that i just bought a few weeks ago!! first off, the head is an odd shape, which is fine, but it's odd for sure. secondly, it said 1/2 oz all over the package, but on my scales it was nearly 20G so more like 3/4 which is a bit of a big deal to me because the rod i was using was rated to 5/8 so there's that..... thought they'd be a cheaper alternative.... they're cheaper alright, but not for me. i like the fish head brand the best, but they are a little pricey. i want to try one of the newer stand up versions they put out as well.

Wprich Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Fish head spin first then the su-spin. I have some gambler meanos and road runner versions I need to try as well to see how I like them Quote
Super User MIbassyaker Posted March 1, 2016 Super User Posted March 1, 2016 I like the Sworming Hornet too, but I haven't done much brand comparison. 4 hours ago, Megastink said: They're most popular on herring lakes, which we don't really have up here.

I wish they made a lighter wire version, but I suspect they will work very well for stripers and blues this year as well. I also have a few of these, which work great for the smaller Fat Impacts. I get them from a local company, who's name I have forgotten. I guess I need to head to one of the stores that carries them and find out. 3 Quote

So the head is 1/2 oz but yes with the head, hook, swivel, and blade included in the overall weight that probably where you are getting to the 20g Quote
