The second event this year was filmed on Lake Istokpoga in Florida just prior to Super Storm Sandy.

Hooligan, I've seen you mention the Spro Little John Baby DD Crankbaits as your favorite "deep" crank? Under what conditions do you favor the Spro bait?

Great photos!

I really like my Frabill Hibernet

Thanks for all the compliments! I have always wanted a "big" steelhead for my man cave at home... I had a "weak" moment when I had this big girl in hand and let her go, I hope someone else gets to enjoy her another day. It was a memory I won't forget.

Cool photo of a different fish

Same fish differant angle

I haven’t fished for steelhead in at least four or five years... I forgot how much fun it was, it was fun to get out and sling my eight weight fly rod around for the day.

Great thanks RW!

This would be perfect!

Looks like Skeeterman225 sells this same head! I'll place an order with him for a couple heads before I decide to spend $50 on the mold to pour my own.

Has anyone ever tried to tie a skirt onto a shakey head with a coil type bait keeper? I’m thinking about buying this Do It mold but I’m on the “fence” as to whether my idea is going to work.

Thank you!

Can anyone tell me what color skirt tabs I need to tie my own skirts to match the Strike King Blue Craw color? I would like to place an order with fishingskirts.com. I am new to tying jig skirts, holy cow are the options overwhelming!

Same here! Great bait!

Could you explain this in more detail? I don't understand the swivel?

Could you tie the purple haze in a finesse jig? I am interested.

Could you cut off the stock hook, add a split ring, then add the hook of you choice?

Thank you for the replies!

Has anyone experimented with a Strike King 3xd and the KVD short shank triple grip hooks? Can anyone tell me what size hook to replace the stock hook? Has anyone tried this? Likes? Dislikes?

I just bought some 1oz and 3/4oz but I haven’t had a chance to use them yet. I'm also curious if anyone has some feedback. A-Jay posted a few weeks ago about his "home brew" punching set up it was similar to the War Heads.

I use a fluorocarbon leader, barrel swivel, and 10 pound Power Pro all the time. You are absolutely correct the sensitivity of light braid is unreal and line twist is a non-issue. I don’t drop shot any other way.

No way! The key time of year for this technique is coming up, people will smash them again this fall on the multi rigs.
