Pork-O Anyone???
Y'all are most welcome. I nearly went crazy searching for a Pork-O replacement and those Slinkies fit the bill. For some reason, their purple color has been my best producer. Dan

Maybe I should give up on bass...
Man, I wouldn't complain! You caught some fine fish. I've never heard of catching catfish on a Senko. I'd say you should pat yourself on your back 8-). Dan

7/7/7--Bad news--Good news--Wiggle Rig 5 lber
There's a link to their site in this thread. It is similar to a drop-shot rig but I use the rigging method that keeps the bait near to the bottom. You "float" the worm by your rod tip action. The bead is just to keep the swivel-clip from banging into or getting tangled with the worm's 'nose'. Dan

7/7/7--Bad news--Good news--Wiggle Rig 5 lber
Got to my boss's pond and started throwing a little topwater bait and caught 2 keepers. Looked up the pond and there's a jonboat with two people in it. Didn't look like they were fishing and as they got closer, I saw one was running the trolling motor while the other was dumping what I later found out was fertilizer into the pond. They commenced to run right up where I was and that ended my fishing there. Went up to the upper end and caught two dinks and then came back to the deeper end and saw they'd finished fertilizing and had pulled the jonboat out of the water. Threw a Wiggle Rig/Speed Worm out from the bank and caught a 2 lber. Tried it again and a nice 5 lber picked it up off of the pond's bottom. Caught 3 or 4 more dinks and left for home, happy for the 5 lber. Click directly on the pic for better resolution: Wiggle Rig--5 lbs, 9 ozs--23" Again Once more Dan

Pork-O Anyone???
I still have a jar of Pork-Os and you are right in praising them. When they went out of production, I discovered these pork baits. They aren't as long and are wider than the originals but they work. Dan

Anyone have a River2Sea Dragonfly?
Did you try superglueing them back on or anything? If the wings just fall off its not that big of a deal if they are still in one piece..? No Mike I didn't. I threw them away.

Anyone have a River2Sea Dragonfly?
Not for me...... :-/ I might be able to throw one with 4 lb line on a spinning rig but the wind will catch them and.....I don't use spinning tackle They are realistic looking but the ones I had were fragile and I didn't try them for more than 3 or 4 casts and not one strike plus, one or more 'wings' broke off :.
