Can't go wrong with either. The Met is good because of slightly more line capacity but the Aldebaran is good because its really light making it more ergonomic.

I've found the best hooks for these are Owner Beast. For the 4inch use the 4/0 1/8oz and for the 5.5inch the 6/0 1/4oz work flawlessly. Bluebasser also showed a nice trick awhile back where you can slide a treble hook onto the Owner Beast on the belly of the sick fish. Ill post a picture when I get home.

Mend-it.

I have no problem forking out $20+ for a lure, but when it comes to crankbaits I tend to go cheaper. I throw them in places most people wouldn't and they're definitely my number one lure when it comes to losing them.

That's brutal, it still amazes me how they can manage to break rods that are packed into a piece of tubular cardboard that's like 1/4 inch think.

Looks nice... to bad its an Abu...

I do and I love it for square bills to mid divers. The length of it allows great leverage when fishing in cover. That being said if you're planning to use it for crankbaits that go 15+ ft I'd recommend the Magnum cranker.

I use the bigger ones for Musky and Pike and they do extremely well.

Personally I'll reserve boot tail swimbaits to get fished on a weighted hook. When it comes to swim jigs I think of it as using the skirt to make it look like the body of a bait fish and ill either use a single tail grub or a rage tail menace rigged vertically to mimic a bait fishes tail.

Does DC really make that m7ch of a differance in casting distance and preventing backlashes if your experienced in using a non DC baitcaster?

Uuuggggh I gotta wait until April for a lefty.

There's no standard size. It depends on how fast you want your bait to fall in the water. But that being said a good all around size is 3/8oz.

New releases....

Black + Red... no thanks.

Every time I read something from you Bobby, you're always talking about nuts.

My doors always open, just gimme a heads up. Lol

PT78 in Ghost Minnow.

Lol, you're more then welcome to come to Petawawa whenever you want. I'll take you to Lake Clear. First fish I caught opening day 2014.

I like bigger, slower fall rate.

What can you compare the size of it too?

I can't wait anymore.... lol.

Forgot to mention, the head is 1/8oz and the hook is a 4/0 Lightwire I get custom made from Sieberts.

They're killer on SMB and Walleye.
