congrats on the win!! nice fish.

cant hit a home run if you are not swinging. heck that's part of the fun, out witting them. you might try downsizing on the bait, like a pop r. and mayby work it more like a bug on the water. not quite as much noise and yet still vibrating the water. best of luck!

I as well like the edge better. seems like I get a lot of misses when blowing thru a heavy cover. how ever I do like pulling an unweighted worm or lizard off of the mat.

nothing more fun ! congrats on the good day, nice fish!

tell him if he wants to fish in the live well, just ask and you would open the door!

they do not take heat well. left a bag in my truck and ended up with a big glob of plastic. wont make that mistake any more.

thanks to all who have responded. I do like there baits , and have caught a lot of fish with them. maby they just made a bad batch, don't know. i am how ever disappointed that the company has not responded back to me and my concern with there hooks breaking easily. haven't broken any of the new ones I have purchased in the past few weeks. best of luck to you guys this fall season. the top water bite has seem to be getting good here in southern Indiana. show us some woppers ,and thanks again.

yes ,on the shroom hooks , and the drag was slipping not that tight. still no response from Z MAN after 3 days. 14 lb on the chatter bait and 10 lb on the trds.

no rust in hooks and one of the trd hooks might have only been tied on about an hour or two. the chatter bait hook was probably one month old. the chatter bait did hang up ,but the hook broke off with just the pull from the pole and the drag didn't even slip,14 lb test mono. everyone broke right at the curve in the hook. I have sent an email to Z MAN baits. and also informed them that I would post there response on this site. no response yet.

haven't contacted them, but did buy from two different places, I do believe they have a problem.

thanks guys!!! without men and women like like you we wouldn't enjoy the freedoms and privalages that we have today!

great pics, great smile, great time! doesn't get any better than that

CONGRATS on the P.B. nice to see fatherinlaw as fishing buddy

stay safe my friend. we are thinking off all of you guys down there,here in Indiana,

is anyone else having problems with hooks breaking on Z MAN baits? in the last few weeks I have broken off two hooks on ned riggs. one of those with a good spot on taking drag. and even broke a hook off of one of his chatter baits. kind of disappointed, don't believe hooks should be breaking that easily.

congrats on the P.B. nice fish! GO LAKE!! new and up coming pro!! what a fat girl! very nice!!

first fish between 5 and 6 lb, missed next two on huge blow ups on a popping perch. one of which took drag on 14 lb line tightend down fairly tight like thread noticed I had that bait on a medium rod [oops]! layed that down went to a pop r. got a 2 1/2, a 3, and a 4plus.went back to green pumpkin stick worm got another 5 and another 4. back to pop r got another between 4and 5 and back to worm, with another 3 plus. then missed one in a moss blow up. needless to say what an evening ,still smiling WOW that was fun!!
