This video made me smile, laugh and most of all jealous! This kid pulls out a hog, what a catch. Happy for this kid. When is it my turn to get one like this?! https://ftw.usatoday.com/2019/10/boy-catches-personal-best-bass-adorable-release/amp

Yes z man batwings

So I had a bag of new plastic trailers and I took off a stick style swimbait, a senko w a paddle tail, and threw it in the bag with the trailers and when I went to open it the swimbait like melted some of the trailers and they all got ruined and stuck together. The swimbait kinda shriveled up and got kinda hard. This happen to anyone else, and why did this occur? Don’t want to ruin anymore new baits in the future

Ok cool then I’ve been doing it right last few days TY

Dang the video in that thread is no longer available

So I bought one off eBay and it showed up, 8” so either I made a mistake or they neglected to post it as saltwater. This is way too big for largemouth fishing right? I realistically aim for avg 5-6lbs but gladly I’ll take anything bigger. Is this useless for me and should I return for the smaller 5.5” model? That’s what I expected I think when ordering.

Ok cool, I’m still a bit thrown by how the brake system works to prevent backlash, would someone mind explaining how it works and if I should start at 21 setting or 0 , I think to start I tried 21 but I couldn’t cast far so I put it in the middle. I’m able to cast far now but now but about 1 in 10 casts I get backlash either off the bat, mid or end of cast

So I have been learning my new baitcast setup and have casting down but now I want to know how to flip/ pitch in those spots from the bank that have limiting room due to tree branch crowding. I've done the setup where I adjust the reel to let the bait fall and hit the ground where the spool stops. Now when I wasn't to flip/pitch how do I set that up? Just loosen the mag force/spool tension? All help is needed/appreciated.

My reel has a drag knob and a fighting drag switch thing; what are the differences and when are they used etc?

as everyone has stated already, the classic Rapala perch is

yeah ive done all that, i think its actually just a iphone google browser app thats causing the issue.

Their website is hands down terrible, I click the link you supplied and it goes to the Rapala home page, so frustrating

For the life of me I can not locate the new xrap peto swimbait on their website for purchase, am I missing something? Does anyone have a link to where I can buy the xrap peto, and the regular/larger size? Also is this swimbait for pike/musky only? it appears that all info on it indicates that is the case but I’m not 100% on that. I need to purchase some high quality swimbaits for bass so any reccos are also appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone any experience with these baits? The Citizen swimbait is on my radar just wondering if any of y'all are customers and what your opinion/luck has been with these?
