By chance did you try just putting a spin hook in the trailing treble position, while living the normal hook on the front of your crankbait? That is how they are now. But the intended trial use was to see how they performed. And that is that I came to conclusion of. They suck on the front! I only bought a pack of them. I normally use Mustad Triple Grip Hooks

G. Loomis Limited Lifetime Warranty Questions Answered................ Lately we have been hearing many rumors about changes in the G. Loomis Limited Lifetime Warranty. Surprisingly, most of what we have heard and seen simply is incorrect. We read many blogs on the Internet and the "information" posted regarding G. Loomis' Limited Lifetime Warranty is so incorrect that you wonder just who got it so wrong and how they could take that info and post it. Being G. Loomis' only Superstore we figured now is a good time to separate the reality from rumor and misinformation. First, the price for Xpeditor Service has been raised from $50 to $100. Considering that the price has been $50 for about 12 years this seems reasonable to us and is less than it would have been if Loomis had increased the price by $5 per year since this program was introduced. Obviously someone was asleep at the switch at Loomis regarding Xpeditor pricing, so it was raised this year. Shimano has owned G. Loomis for over 12 years, so these changes are not due to any recent acquisition, but simply an attempt to bring the costs of the G. Loomis warranty program up to date with current costs of shipping and handling. We are not aware of ANY G. Loomis rods that are excluded from the Loomis warranty. If a rod is obsolete then it will be repaired or, if unrepairable, replaced by the closest current model which is the way it has always worked. If a rod has been broken by something other than structural failure (car door, ceiling fan, pickup tailgate, rod locker, etc.) we continue to recommend using Xpeditor as this is a sure fire way to get a new, replacement rod in just a few days. Our experience with Loomis has been and continues to be absolutely wonderful regarding warranties. We always encourage customers to use us for any warranty rod replacements since we always have every current model available in stock. Xpeditor is now $100, normal warranty service is $25 through American Legacy Fishing Company. Keep in mind that ALL G. Loomis rods come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. If your rod is damaged or broken you can either send the rod to us, into the G. Loomis factory, or use Loomis' Xpeditor Service direct or through us. If you send the rod into the factory Loomis will inspect the damaged rod and will, at Loomis' discretion, either repair or replace the rod and ship it back to you at Loomis' expense. If the damage is due to neglect Loomis will contact you with an estimate of repair (or replacement) cost. If you use Loomis' Xpeditor Service you can either contact G. Loomis online at www.gloomis.com, call the factory at 1-877-577-0600, or call American Legacy Fishing Company at 1-877-402-6350. Upon receipt of your Xpeditor request and payment of $100 ($125 CAD) Loomis (or ALFC) will ship you a new replacement rod along with a prepaid return shipping label for your damaged rod. Done deal. For the new NRX rods you MUST REGISTER your rod. We cannot stress enough how important it is to register your new NRX rod. Go to www.gloomis.com for the appropriate form. Mail this form along with your purchase receipt to the indicated address. Shortly thereafter you will receive a "wild card" which you can use to replace your damaged NRX rod at no cost, no questions asked. This replacement must be handled by an authorized G. Loomis Dealer (such as American Legacy). Do not send your damaged NRX rod to the factory as long as you have your "wild card". If your replacement NRX rod is then damaged you can send that damaged rod into the G. Loomis factory for replacement or repair. Conditions outlined above will apply. Xpeditor Service is not available for NRX rods. To briefly summarize, NOTHING has changed with the G. Loomis limited lifetime warranty except that the Xpeditor Service has increased from $50 to $100 and the new NRX rods come with a "wild card" that allows you a free, one time replacement no questions asked. We are always happy to handle any Loomis warranty and can assure everyone the service you receive today will be the same (or better) than you have experienced in the past. We are always here to take care of G. Loomis customers any way we can.

I bought a set on the release day last year for them at my local shop. My only issue is that they rusted after a few month. Even after using line and lure conditioner. My impressions: A little gimmicky. If you hook the fish with both trebles, it doesn't really matter spinning hooks or not. I feel like I lost more crankbait fish if I hooked the fish on the front hook, I think it is because the hooks turning caused more leverage against the fishes mouth or body, especially on larger crankbaits. If you happen to hook it on the back hook, it worked good, but again sometimes you don't realize the spinning part had rusted and it turns out to be just a regular treble hook.

How do you even carry/manage 17 rods? I have 7 rods. Only 3-5 months out of the year will I bring all 7 rods. I usually only need 5-6 Crankbait Rod Spinning Rods (drop shot, lightweight stuff) Flippin Stick Top Water Frog Spinnerbait/ Chatterbait Swimbait Swimbait and Frog Rod I don't need most of the year.

About time Mike! Great episode! I'll be in New York next Tuesday, anyone want to take me fishing one day? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

That looks awesome!

Please post pictures when you can

I'd do it. But not for 200K. Maybe 500K

Oh I love them already! Good tip on crawling them slowly, do you t-rig them with a weight or I was thinking of putting them on a shakey head. I also can't get enough of the ragetail shad

Sorry might be just me, I don't see the humor, but great that your caught a bass!

Fishing the California Delta next weekend.

Wow... he should work for Ranger

I like Tungsten. All I have to say.

Great video indeed!

Russo's or Brannon Island are your best bets. I will be fishing a tournament next weekend there. This time of year pretty much anywhere holds bass. but the better quality will come out of the back areas which you really need to know what you are doing, such as monitoring tides. It can be a maze back there. Good luck. Oh Sorry so your best best is to launch from Russo's. Or stop by at the Hook, Line and Sinker and they can guide you to a few areas.

Anyone have experience with the River2Sea Tungsten Vibe? http://www.***.com/River2Sea_Tungsten_Vibe/descpage-R2STV.html

A massive slurpee from sheetz.... Massage and take her to get a pedicure/manicure. I find women really love those things, especially if your doing it with them ( I know, I know, heres my man card). But hey, if there happy, who cares!? 8-)... P.S. Dont forget the Slurpee You're not old enough to posses a man card. The required age as stated by the Man Union is 18 to become an apprentice man. At the ripe old age of 20 you can potentially be promoted to the rank of Man. Yeah.... Whatever you do, don't buy your girlfriend a fishing rod and say it's for her..... Hey I just realized in your signature, you want to attend a Alcohol Anonymous meeting for Jig Fishing... or is that Addicts Anonymous LOL! ;D

I like that!
