6'6"-7' ML spinning with 15# braid and a 8-10# mono or flouro leader

Y'all are giving the Bass' little brain to much credit.

Spinning gear

Yup that is your prob I would assume.

Not a huge fan of Zman but the lil French fry (centipedz??) float high and work great for this.

The man is in business. There are other factors besides cost of goods. Electricity in the shop, labor time to make them, excise tax, cost of molds, bags and bagging time, etc. I t all ads up.

Think I will try the Savage then just to try. Maybe I can get some confidence with it. What about the S Waiver 168?. Ty

Lookin for a gill glide in the 4-5" range to try. I dont want to spend a fortune. I was lookin at the Jackall Giron. Any thoughts? Ty

Get a small microwave for a few bucks at a yard sale. Get a one or two cup size Pyrex measuring cup. Lurecraft has many inexpensive open pour molds for cheap. I use oven mitts from the dollar store. All you really need to melt old baits and pour. Also good advise from Jig-man. Secret to reheating is short heat cycles on micro. 15-30 secs and stir stir stir. I use an old butter knife. It will burn easily.

Get the HB Helix. Best in that price range

LOL. Doesnt she look impressed?

Y'all need to brush up on your metric conversions. 2.54 cm = 1 inch. 25.4mm = 1 inch 350 cm = 137.795 inches lol

My friend wants me to make him some but he is picky. NO I DO NOT SELL BAITS. Just a hobby

Ty. So this mold should be close but 6.5" long??? http://bearsbaits.com/Stik-Bait--65-Fat-Stik--4-Cavity_p_59.html

No one has a 7" Yammy Senko to measure for me

3.5mm = 0.137795 is not right. ty

Anyone know the diameter? Ty

68 special. perch is a great northern state color

I use these 1/16 oz with a #1 Mustad hook. Not really a NED rig but they skip and work great.

Yup. But Striker has gps but no maps if that is important.

Just buy another in a color you want.

Usually under the TC is cloudy and top is clear as Wayne shows Hear are fish right ay/above it.

Just put the transducer on the TM. Much better results. I had US1 on an old motor and it stank. Also US2 is sonar only so down imaging wont work if you have it.

I found the bass more around cover and the slimers roam more

So if he does not want GPS or Si which is the better unit in your opinion? ty
