What size/gauge hooks do you recommend for 2.75” paddle tails on an A Rig?
I use the 1/8oz 1/0 guppy head on the micro rig with 2.75 baits. Never had any issues bending but I'm also using a normal mh/f rod and 12lb hybrid.

Was supposed to be a day of chasing striper but they didn't want to play so pretty quickly became a bass fishing trip. All fish again on a flashy swimmer.

All my recent catches that were not BFS rats. Minus the senko fish every one came on a flashy swimmer + xzone swammer.

Favorite underspin?
The free hanging wire is replaceable, I have had them get beat up to the point where they get ripped off and need to be swapped.

There are 2 versions of the 500, the standard max which is decently high pitched, and a DRS version with a deep rattle.

Favorite underspin?
Bladerunner spin trix, coolbaits down under, and dirty jigs finesse are my favorite exposed hook. Flashy swimmer for weedless.

Slow day at the forebay but no skunk so I'm happy. first a-rig fish of the year is not a giant. got a couple more of similar size one decent fish probably 16-17" on top water. of course pinned all 3 points of the treble in the mouth with pliers in my car. had to give poor guy the kung-fu grip and run up the bank, still got a hook point in the finger for my troubles.

25mph gust jerkbait
The Shimano world minnow has an impressive weight transfer, I'd say equal to the rerange and megabass LBO baits. But I'm with @Huckfinn38 on this one, if it's blowing that hard I'm staying home.

A-Rigs… do I need to try one?
The striper here smash the rig from fall through to spring, it's probably favorite lure this time of year. I'll get a few LMB but they're going to mostly be bycatch. I mainly throw the hog farmer mini 5 wire 4 blade with 3x1/8oz heads, 3.8" keitech/rage swimmer main and 2.8" teasers. Expride 7'6" MH or 7'7" H with a bantam mgl is my go-to. I also use the full size hog farmer rig with 4.8" main and 3.8" teasers but that gets thrown on a Dobyns 794.5AR.

Picked up a couple CR-10s that Amazon was selling for half price recently, unfortunately one was a return that someone had swapped a generic crank into. Amazon made it right, was just funny opening the package and seeing this junk.
