My truck is darck charcoal metallic and my ranger behind it is dark charcoal metallic too. Red accents on both. So yea, I totally get it.

Anyone use any of these magnetic hangars? Do they work as advertised or do the baits fall off in rough water? Really looking at the kits that come with 4 pairs and the sheet metal. If you have used them do you use the metal and magnets, or screw it to the reinforcement bars?

Yes you have to send them back with the form filled out. One form per bait. It seemed like they were aware of the problem because I had new ones within a week.

I had the exact same thing happen with two different 110’s last year. I contacted megabass and they sent me a form to print out and shipped them back. I got two brand new ones in the mail the next week

I ordered one last night. Just waiting on it to come in the mail now.

I’ve caught plenty of under 12” fish on a zoom ole monster or 10” power worm. Don’t be worried about that on a 2lb fish at all

I have several of all kinds but always trust my KVD 1.5’s

I just don’t throw my used ones away. If they get wore out after fishing then on an under spin or anything else I will hold on to them for a trailer. Sometimes you just have to bite some off.

I have bought several of these lures and I agree that they look great and have good hooks. One of my squarebills has the eye of the bait fall off on the first trip throwing it but I still use it. The 8.5’ diver. It caught a few fish bouncing it off of a brush pile. I would like to try some more of their lures because they are at a nice price point.

I would definitely try to upgrade the frog rod if it were me. Other than that maybe a designated jerkbait rod. 6’4-6’10 M/Moderate. Then there are so many things you can throw on a 7’MH/F rod that they are never a bad choice. Butbreally its all up to you and what you like to do and how you like to fish! Also, I would not get a slower reel for the first setup. All of my bottom contact reels are either a 7.1:1 or 8.1:1. Lets you pick up line faster when they swim at you and gets line in faster to throw it out again.

For that price range I’d buy an Abu Garcia Vengeance and use the extra money left over on tackle.

This shouldn’t be the case at all. Like J Francho said test with weight. You also may be throwing heavier lures on one vs the other. Same rod and if they are both fast tip the mh should definitely be stiffer.

I am a big believer in early spring jerkbaiting. I have megabass, KVD’s, Rapalas, and Spro’s. Although I love the movement of the megabass (as I should at $25) my go to confidence jerkbait is the KVD’s. I carry two jerkbait rods, one for standard diving j300’s and the other for the deep divers. I fish very clear water here and clear ayu works great. But for clear or stained water my #1 choice is the basic chrome blue back. I also like the sexy shad, pro blue, mad dog shad, and gold/black back. But if I could only pick two it would be clear ayu and chrome blue back. You could fish anywhere in the country in any body of water with these two.

What is everyone’s go to bait for punching weed mats?

I couldn’t narrow it down to two reels. But I’m an Abu guy so that gets my vote
