I don't have much success with a swim bait trailer for some reason. When do rig one it's a Skinny Dipper. I like either a twin tail grub or the Rage Menace better. Mike

Cool! I'll bet that was something to see! Mike

Whew!! I'm sorry to hear all this. I wish you the best Mike

Ever have a creased fluke tail? A folded over swim bait paddle tail? Or how about an out of shaped ribbon tail? Lay them on a piece of paper towel placed your dashboard in hot car. Wait few minutes and they'll be like new. Mike

Magnum Speed Worm with a Fat Max a close second. Mike

Sorry OP I guess I read it wrong. Thanks @NHBull Mike

You can use anything you want. The lb test of what you're useing has no bearing on the hook being an ewg or not. Mike

I wish all the Dad's on here a Happy Fathers Day!! Enjoy Your Day!! Mike

I think this happens to us more than we think, especially with longer 6"+ plastic. Our equipment is fine. More times than not we feel them and go. Personally, I have to remind myself to "weigh" the fish first before hitting them. Mike

If you post where you're at I'll try to give you specific places within a reasonable distance. Mike

Congratulations Best of luck!! Mike

The vast majority of my hits come from swimming it in 2-6ft with a 3/16 unpegged tungsten weight. The trick with these is the tail position. For swimming I hook tail down as Big O, the designer intended. If you're gonna t rig and present it like any other worm, then tail up. Some say it doesn't matter... It does. Mike

I started useing them when they first came out and has now become a permanent option. For some reason when I tried useing a skirt with them my hit rate went down! (I don't get it either) Mike

I use Sniper on all combo's except 2. I use mono to hang pictures on a wall. Mike

I have 2 A skirted June Bug Sweet Beaver or an unskirted Rage Bug. Mike

Ted I've lived in SW for over 40yrs and would like to help you out but I need more info to do it right. You can fish for bass from Naples to Sarasota. There are rivers, canals, ponds and small lakes that hold fish. You're within 1 1/2 hours of Okeechobee and Trafford. 2-3 from Istopoka, Grassy, Crooked, Placid, Kissimmee and Harris Chain, Toho and a few others. Some you need a boat some you don't. If you want salt water just look West! There are rivers, bays, harbor's, canals, jetties, piers, etc. that will keep you busy for years. Mike

This should be a sticky and required reading! Mike

Where are you? Do you have a boat? Mike

Congratulations!!! Mike

Keep in mind. Depending on how long your cast's are an imperfection can be way up the line where you won't feel or see it most times. What I do sometimes is I'll make a cast and let the line lay without what I have tied on pulling on it. Any kink or nick will show itself as it's reeled back on. Mike

May God Bless them all. Including my Uncle Jim. Platoon Sgt. 101st Airborne Division. Who crashed landed in a glider and died behind German lines on the first night. I wish I would have met him. Mike

Sure! I have 80# on my heaviest punch rig. 45# is kinda low for punching through thick hydrilla and hyacinth mat's, down here at least. You're good Mike
