The Dogman

You like those Diamantes I see, just used one for the first time yesterday and it has a very unique walking action unlike any bait I have used. Was thinking about ordering a few more from cabelas.

Bought two Daiwa Tatula SV reels for around $140 each, nice deal with that PREGAME15 at Ebay. For anyone interested Cabelas has Megabass Crank S crankbaits on sale for $12.88 each and also the Megabass Rattle Dog-X-Diamante for $12.88, both sales are limited to only a few select colors. I picked up 3 Crank S in sexy shad and pearl colors and one Dog-x in Tennessee shad.

That OMFishingSinkers tungsten site has them for around $1 a peice but you have to wait 10 days for shipping, they arent the sharpest out of the package but for the money they are ok.

I own both and have caught fish on both, there isn't a massive size difference between the two and they both make alot of commotion. I think you would be fine with either one.

I use the roboworm size o-rings, one amazon seller has a variety pack of 300+ wacky o-rings for around $6 and the smallest size works perfect. You could also try putting a small screwlock in the body and hook through it.

I mainly use the Whopper plopper when theres Chop on the water, when walking baits or not an option. Also rainy days it seems to work really well.
