Jerkbait Comparison Questions.
Good buy Rockchalk. I have tried a bunch and like the Lucky's the best. I am not big into buying expensive lures but these are worth it IMO. I mainly use the SP100 and the Staysee 90 for a lil deeper. As you noticed suspending baits get hit hard.

Color Charts
Problem is every manufaturer's colors are not the same shade and different strength per drop.

Humminbird Or Lowrance?
I had both and the Lowrance imaging is superior. Not impressed with the 360. ....Bill

Koppers Live Target Bait Ball Crankbaits
Schooling bass hitting shad wont even look at an A rig. Doubt this would turn them on either. Seems like a gimmick. I think a bass would rather target and chase one baitfish rather then multiple.

Baker Lures Suspending Cranks
First few cranks I got floated. Ended up that the manufacturer forgot to add the rattles LOL. They replaced them and all is good now. Not sure how they will behave in cold winter water yet.

Yamamoto Fat Ikas
LOL was a clear pepper I diiped in Spike it Pumpkin I think. Another tip. Buy the mustad hooks and the wire keepers from Barlows and save even more money. http://www.barlowstackle.com/Mustad-91768BLN-Jig-Hook--P403.aspx http://www.barlowstackle.com/Snap-on-Coil-Forms-P914.aspx For you home injectors, this mold makes a nice one piece bait. Just easily remove the appendages and use your Senko formula in the plastic http://www.caneycreekmolds.com/4-Skirted-Chub-Grub_p_240.html

Baker Lures Suspending Cranks
Many don't know about these great little cranks. They are good quality square bills with nice paint jobs and suspend well. Advertised depths seam right. Even in the summer the suspending action triggers real hard strike. Cant wait till winter to try them. http://bakerlures.com/ (no affiliation, just satisfied customer)

You Gotta Love Exotics!!
I know some aquarium people that would pay good money for fish like that.

Panfish Lures And Bait
2" white curly tail grub on a 1/16 jighead. I like a 5' 6" uglystick with a size 10 reel and 8# power Pro braid. If/when you get snagged, pull and straighten the hook. Bend hook back with fingers and you are ready to go again.

Jaguars Lurk In South Florida
Yes that is a Parachromis Managuensis AKA Jaguar Cichlid. It is one of many Central and South American aquarium fish that outgrow their tank or kill their tankmates and get illegally released into the wild. In captivity males reach about 24" and need a 6' 150 gallon tank or larger for multiple fish or pairs. Other fish commonly caught in florida and Hawaii are Convicts, red devils, Mayans, Red terrors, green terrors, oscars, dovii, Texas, snakeheads, etc. ....Bill

Scatter Rap Spiraling On Retrieve
The lure is wood. Smack it on a dock or rocks and it will go out of tune. Make sure the front and rear hook hangers as well as the line tie are all straight. I had to bend mine straight and all was well again. This bait catches alot of fish and the shorter crank model seems to run most erratic and works best for me. Cast great with 6.5-7' spinning and braid.

What Am I Doing Wrong (Senko)
As said o-ring or shrink tubing is a neccesity with a real GYBC Senko. Probably sunfish stealing your bait. They hot hard and run with it. They USUALLY are more of a tap tap tap. Bass is usually a single tap and they move off slow with it.

Looking To Start Making Plastics
Yeah there are many tutorials on site and youtube about making your own mold from plaster of paris (POP). Get a used microwave and a pyrex cup and melt some old plastics down and try that.
