Default the clankin rap

at this time only the 08 model is on the market.i took the 08 model for a test spin..




using an old shimano 7 foot mh as test rod. with a okuma ns100 casting reel loaded with fresh 12 pound ande mono. i stepped up to the "firing range"

after a shake down cast to adjust the reel.. i fired two cast down the range. both sailed over power line-at the 70 yard mark-the first hit the ground at the 85 yards.the second with a bit more effort landed just past the 100 yard ditch.. both cast were done with a 2 handed over hand cast. wind was slight to none.. on the second cast i noticed the baits endicy to climb during the cast..

i am goin to fish these baits tomarrow -sunday- to see how they do..

would like to see the size 05 in production this year.

Sweet. Looking forward to your thoughts on it. I just got back from gander and was lookin at it. It's a wide bait - looks interesting.

Thanks for the run down, I'd like to get one of those, but don't have the money now.

Thanks again!

I looked at those tonight at BPS. But decided against it today since I was mainly there for cold water lures. I am going to try one... or two... this summer though. Let us know how they work Zook.
