Anyone try these softbaits yet? I thought they might be good for flipping. They say to rig it with a bullet weight screwed in to the top head, and the hook inserted through the bottom end, called it the okeechobee rig. I don't know I was just thinking of riggin it with the hook through the top end and a bullet weight pegged above the hook, like a normal lookin texas rig. Any of you try this bait yet? Here is a link of it incase you don't know what it is (its not a buzzfrog type bait)http://www.***.com/descpageUNCLESOFT-SJT.html#.

Thanks for the idea and the link BFM.  I just placed an order for some along with the special weights.  I'm a sucker for new ideas.

Never tried it myself but supposedly the normal texas rig would defeat the purpose of this rig.

quote from Bassin magazine.

"When line comes out the front of the sinker on a punch through texas rig, there can be interference with mat penetration, increased tangles and less efective hook sets. Because the weight is centered below the bait, the Okeechbee Rig can be fished in the thickest weed mats without hanging up... On hooksets, you get a straight line pull to the hook."

Hope that helps.
