Zoom swamp crawler is what I have been using lately. Allen

That is what I was thinking as well. Allen

Like Tom I use 12lb Big Game and have zero problems walking any lure except a Jackall Mudfish. Allen

Best lure I have found is a SPRO BBZ on Black Hills Lake Seneca. I thought it was a dead fish until I got closer. Allen

I fish them on a T-Rig with a bullet weight and so far they work but not as well as a smallie beaver. Allen

I started making my own weighted hooks in order to meet my needs. When I get a chance I will post some pictures of what I made. Allen

About 4" is the best overall for the reasons you described. The 3.8" Fat Impact and 4" Pline Kick-R minnow are the two I use most. Allen

Try this 4/0 3/32oz weighted hook. Allen

Size 4 is what came on the RC's and I would guess the 300's are the same. Allen

Try a larger bait as the two you mentioned are harder to walk because of their size. Allen

Yes, the one at Gambler Fire Hall and the Boonsboro Ag Center are the two I hit. Allen

One of my ongoing projects is to create a tungsten powder/epoxy jighead like Keitech. The tungsten powder was like $60 for a pound so it is not cheap. Allen

I highly recommend fishing Flea Markets as you can pick up a lot of stuff cheap. Picked up 15 Bandit cranks this year for $10 and a freezer bag full of Fat Ikas for $5. Allen

Tungsten is probably worse for the environment than lead. Allen

My favorite shallow running jerkbaits are LC Pointer SR and a floating Rogue. Allen

The two you mentioned work better for me than the Giant Dogx. Allen

You know you guys just cost me some money with that link. Allen

Trying to remember as well? Closest things I can find right now are the Big Bites Baits Real Deal Craw and the Yamamoto Psycho Dad. Allen

Are we sure it wasn't a knock off nugget from Wendy's? Allen

I don't have any and I am thinking they are from a Japanese company? Looked on Ichiban Tackle and did not see any. Allen

A lot of good suggestions here for baits as they cover what I use. I would like to add that the 4/0 Owner weighted hook below works great for these baits. The weight is just enough to keel the bait and if you need more weight just use a bullet sinker. Allen

I have seen this bait before but cannot remember where? Let me look around and see what I can find. Allen

You need to catch a few spots before they are recognizable. The craziest one I have caught was a meanmouth bass which is a spot/smallmouth hybrid. Allen

Borrow someone else's Kayak and try it out first to see if it will work for you. I have a back injury from a parachute jump in the Army that still gives me problems. My wife bought me a Kayak and it is painful to sit in after about 15 minutes. Allen

Here is one of the jigheads I made for flick shakes. Allen I had problems with the original Do-It molds where the hooks bent out and the wire guatds broke using a ml rod and a 6lb line. Allen
