The original Gitzit was designed as a "do nothing" lure by Bobby Garland in 1964. The Mega Tube takes this basic design to a new level!

Send me a PM with your mailing addres. I designed a color combination for Siebert Outdoors that you might like. I'll send you a couple of these custom Storm Series Jigs rigged my way. -Kent

Direct from VMC http://www.rapala.com/VMC/Hooks/Treble/vmc-hooks-treble,default,sc.html or most retailers: BPS, DSG, etc. However, I suggest replacing with Katsuage: http://www.megabassusa.com/news/guide-upgrading-jerkbait-hooks

Well, I suppose it's all in the eye of the beholder, but "old' doesn't necessarily turn junk into treasure. When my dad passed away I inherited a ton of junk and a few gold nuggets. I have a display I created using a beautiful piece of driftwood for the base. I have original Lucky 13, Rapala, Lazy Ike and Devil Horse to name a few. The other 50 pounds of junk was trashed.

Well, my main rig has LFT Live Magic Shad on the outside arms, weightless with 3/0 Light Wire Offset Worm Hooks. The inside arm is rigged with a 1/2 oz Johnson Silver Minnow. Each arm has a small willow blade attached near the middle. This set-up can be fished at any depth depending on the rate of retrieve. I lost one last month in 30' feet of water.

Nice fish!
-
That's a beauty!

Woo-hoo! The little brown truck just arrived. Have any of you guys fished these new baits?
-
Rather than casting I suggest a vertical drop and drift or slow troll.
-
That's pretty cool!

I think you will find the Chronarch will perform better over time, but more importantly, I like to have most new reels serviced before using them. The difference is sometimes dramatic.

I think the point is that higher end equipment and better skills eliminate most of the issues. For anyone new, spinning gear is a MUCH better choice for lighter weights. There are a lot us that have skill and gear that makes this question meaningless, but for those facing the challenge for the first time it is VERY important.

I'm a big fan, but I suggest going with #12 (19. 5 lb breaking strength). #15 is too stiff, retains too much memory and CANNOT be broken when you need to break off.

Hmm... Don't go fishing without it...I use the goo 100% of the time.
