I don't think most people would like them, compared to a regular lipless. They take getting used to. Quote

They take getting used to. yeah you have to order them online as far as i know. havent seen them in stores in 10+ years since the old cotton cordell suspending super spot was around. I think they're a lot more popular than you realize, theyre absolutely fantastic to work as a jerk bait over grass. "cough cough" if you go to chickamauga in the next 2 months i wouldnt leave home without one 1 Quote

@reelChris Posted February 11, 2020 Posted February 11, 2020 I have to ask - if they suspend when given slack and rattle when pulled, are they really that different from shallow running jerk baits? Quote

The IMAs don't suspend like a typical SP jerk. It's more of a slow sink depending on water temp.. This gives you options as to how you can fish it, especially over weeds and shrubbery, because it doesn't sink like a rock. Great bait. My 3rd best producer last winter and early spring. I bought a pile for this year. 1 Quote

I bought a pile for this year. yep. water looked like ketchup from the floods this past weekend and was around 49. I usually throw those on medium moderate rod and the fish more or less hook themselves when they choke it Quote

The other difference is they don't move like a jerk bait, they move like a lipless when swimming/jerking. 3 hours ago, dgkasper58 said: Just wondering why?

With some brands, they don't sink fast when they hit the water, so if you start to retrieve too soon, they'll just flop sideways. It's just very different from normal lipless, it's more like a shallow jerkbait. 3 hours ago, dgkasper58 said: I thought they were 1/2 oz? 6th sense has them at 1/2oz while TW has them at 7/8oz.

I probably got it wrong. I looked at them a few weeks ago and I was just going from memory (and I forgot my memory is untrustworthy). Quote

Have any problems with them swimming right? Do they cast okay? How deep can you get it to go? No issues at all with them swimminig, diving, or casting. I'm fishing them in pretty shallow water but I'd guess they're getting down about 3' when I try getting them down. 1 Quote

I guess you can go old school and take a sinking one and drill it out and take ballast out until it suspends? Or you can buy the Ima Suspending Lipless Crankbait for 10 balloons, whatever works. Way to "guard them quite seriously"... Actually that's a really nice thing you just did. You could add Suspend dots/strips to a floating Rattle Trap and make a custom slow float, suspend, or slow sink. 1 Quote

dgkasper58 Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I missed you already said this too. Please disregard! "In this case, 6th Sense makes two models of the Quake 80, a 7/8 oz sinking, and a 1/2 oz suspending. The confusion comes in that they both use the same box, and the specs are for the sinking model. I apologize for the confusion." They should be 1/2 oz on the scale (I do not have one). 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 15, 2020 Global Moderator Posted February 15, 2020 This would make sense because I didn't think there was any way the suspending bait felt like it was nearly an ounce. 1 Quote
