The T1 is a good bait - but as previously mentioned here - they are subject to "Mystery Blade loss" The reason is because they are plagued by something that almost every spinner bait on the market has as well; the split rings used to connect the blades to the swivel / swivel to the wire are simple too thin, too weak and too cheap. Does little good if a bait is offered with a "quality" ball bearing swivel if the split ring is bogus. I fish a ton of blade baits at night, and the fish often hit the blade and not the body. A 4 or 5 pound smallie will rip the blade off a bait at night in a heart beat. Before I figured it out I was loosing blades in whole sale fashion. It was not unusual to come home from a night of spinner bait fishing with 10 bladeless baits. Really bummed me out. Well, I still use spinner baits at night but by upgrading the split rings I have all but eliminated the blade loss. The Strike King Hack Attack Heavy Cover Spinnerbait has a very stout wire and excellent hook and is my bait of choice for night ops - I still change out the rings. btw - Oklahoma blades rule at night.

That may be because you have never been fishing with me. And that is not an invite. A-Jay

Yes ~ Until last night. When Butler made that interception, I almost jumped through the ceiling . . . . A-Jay

As I pats fan I feel for you and I'm not saying that to be a pin head. I really do know exactly how you feel - it's not good. After the 2007 & 2011 Superbowl losses I was not right for a while. A-Jay

Go here ~ The bass here are totally Super Charged ! Even more than Bronebacks - and I've caught a few. And there are at least a couple of fellow anglers on this forum who I think may agree with me. A-Jay

Extremely excited and admittedly anxious about today's big game. Seems every single play is important. This is the one game where any man on the field can turn into a folk hero or a huge goat in just One Play. Here's to a good game and the hope that we do not have to use the replay officials At All. Go Patriots A-Jay

Most of the better bass that have ended up in my net really did seem to prefer "Silent Night". A-Jay

Here is a decent article about the bait. A-Jay http://www.insideline.net/index.php/hard-baits/585-understanding-and-using-square-bills

Thanks and personal safety is always a primal priority. I use this (and all) equipment as it's intended and stay within the safe working loads recommended by the manufacturer. I assembled this equipment myself and do perform routine maintenance as necessary. As for the sounds heard during it's operation; all equipment is bound to have some especially when working under a decent load. Additionally, part of what is heard there is the sound of the plates clanging together, and that is truly music to my ears. A-Jay
