tackle test
i was fishing a local lake to day trying out some new baits. the water was 66.5 degrees fairly clear and partly sunny 5-10 mph wind.seen a bunch of beds but no fish on them. the bass seemed scattered-post spawn-. i caught 6 bass 3 keepers just getting blown down a bank. yep thats right working with the wind.i was t-rigging v&m's new high tail bait in the 4" size also was testing some carolina chip spinnerbaits yep he also makes a great blade..i was slow rolling the blades in 8-15 feet of water over a channel drop. 2 of the fish fell to chip's blade both were decent bass one had her tail about 1/2 worn off. i moved shallow picking off a short bass on a jitter bug near a dock-i still can't work a poping/twitchin bait to any degree-the big fish of the day 4.1 pounder-pb on lipless baits- fell to a 1/4oz daimond shad -repainted by chip- one short and one keeper -3.4 pounder fell to a hightail bait in melon seed t-rigged on a 2/0 gammakatsu wide gap... i am really starting to like this bait.an easy rod tip pop and the hook is set. unlike using a baby bush hog which i have to set it much heavier. imo till my wrist said hi remember me i was doing pretty good..
those of you that use a demon try using a hightail instead of a baby bush hogthe body is thinner and using a smaller hook will let you penatrate the mat easier.. hey it is new to me also but it rocks.. zooker
