T-rig

I have done well with the Venom Hot Rods in the past. I fish them weightless or with a 1/8oz. bullet weight.

There is no such such thing as "the best lipless crank". Which bait I use, depends on the conditions. Clear water=silent lipless crank, deep water= heavy lipless crank, stained water= loud lipless crank......................... etc. etc.

Stringjam, if you like the Jackall TN-70 you're gonna love this bait: http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=1652&name=TD%20PRO'S%20VIBRATION%20107%20S%20SILENT&manufacturename=DAIWA%20(TEAM%20DAIWA)

Yeah I know!

Great fish, congrats! 8-)

It must be the water temp. It's in the low 40s. I just found a bait in one of my boxes that I long forgot about. Jackall RS-225. Sure looks similar.

Mine floats. Yes, I changed the trebles and split rings. I only use feather trebles on topwater baits.

I agree, the x-rap deep doesn't have the same action as the shallow model but the x-rap shad doesn't look anything like the x-rap and besides that it's a floater and not a suspender like the x-rap.

What about this: http://i12.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/c9/52/afef_1.JPG

I just found one in my mail box ;D. This bait looks great!

Nobody said you have to buy them.

Great bait to fish over weeds.

8lbs.

Great pics and nice fish! 8-)

If you like weird try one of these at fork. I bet the bass there haven't seen this before. http://i8.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/bb/2f/2f1d_1.JPG

I agree. He might as well give jerks a try, best way to learn how to use a bait.

WELCOME to the forums!

That's so true but that gambler bait just looks plain silly to me. But then who knows, it might just be new lure of the year. http://www.***.com/descpageGAMBSOFTBGAMBSB-GBSB.html

These snaps work better in gin clear water when the fish are real spooky with silent jerkbaits, silent lipless cranks and silent crankbaits.

Respect! 8-)

WELCOME to the forums!

i bought one at cabelas the other day... Is there anywhere else you can get them? I looked on ebay and couldn't find any.

You can also get them ebay. Look here: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=evergreen+snap&category0= These are also very good: http://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/product_info.php?currency=USD&cPath=29_211_383&products_id=1666

Wow, I'm impressed! 8-)

You're right Allen, I already bought one ebay in chartreuse shad! ;D I still would like some info on the US shad though. Are those slim shad's available online?
