I'm talking about the old wooden Heddon vamps. They're a casting/crankbait. They run about 18 inches to 3 feet deep depending on your retrieve. I actually make some quality reproductions myself. A lot of guys used them muskie fishing, but they work great for bass too. I usually plug the shoreline or weedbeds and do pretty well.
I'm not here to solicit business so I'm not going to post my website (you can click on the little house under my name ) I'm more here to see what's working out there and to let folks know that I catch a lot of nice bass on vamps.
