Diggy Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I bought one for dicks sporting goods yesterday for 1.99, I said what the heck its cheap. I must have caught about 6 fish today(landed), lost 2 and caught a snapping turtle..that was horrible I had to cut the hooks and try to save it went from hooked in the mouth, to mouth and foot, to both feet..took hooks from another crank I had and started catching again. anyway I had more success with this than the red eye shads that I usually catch one or 2 with at the same lake. I missed one fish and caught 2 after that on 3 consecutive casts. I felt like Bill Dance or Jimmy Houston for a second. I was like... is this really happening right now?? I set one hook so hard it flew out of the fishes mouth and I had to duck from the lure Could have been luck, but this thing produced more fish than Im use to, in less time and for less money I posted a few pics of fish and the lure. Im def going to buy more...1/2 oz size Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted August 29, 2011 Super User Posted August 29, 2011 Nice job! Almost any lure will catch fish at one time or another. In that first pic it looks like your using twine for line. Nice, clear pics, can't be a camera phone is it? Quote
Diggy Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Im using powerpro braided line (30lb) Yes thats a camera phone 8mp, the pic is from my Sprint HTC Evo 4g..I have a miui rom on it and thats their camera app Ive spent many hours in the same spot fishing with strike kings and ratl traps, but today I felt like Michael Jordan in the playoffs scoring 63pts with the flu Quote
North Ga Hillbilly Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 That braid might be alittle worn, making it look "frayed". Possibly could lose you a good fish. I'd pull out a few feet and discard it. NGaHB Quote

Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 30, 2011 Super User Posted August 30, 2011 You were at the right place at the right time , I doubt if those 1.99 baits were the reason you had such a good day for yourself. Quote

Diggy Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 They finally have the same color back in stock after so long. I had to buy one and two other colors. I had to refer to this thread to check pics and sure enough it was the same pattern. Hopefully I replicate success They were back to 2.99 Quote
