Fine bass, mcninja! I've yet to get a big strike on the 130 in our H'Cove lakes. I think the bass are spawning, and I saw shad spawning yesterday, and it's all still screwy. Won't be long until the bluegills are bedding and then things get hairy. Thanks. That one was on the 90, bluegill color.

Palomar, on 50-pound braid. I leave about a third of an inch of tag line b/c I don't think it matters w/ braid and if it slips, there'll be a smidge of give. But it doesn't slip. You guys with the small WP, the 90 size, does it have a split ring on the tie like the 130? Mine doesn't and I don't like the way it runs, in fits and spurts. Have tried fast-med-slow retrieves and its' just weird. Not like the 130. Had a 4-pounder hit the 130 yesterday evening like a runaway train on crack.

My 90 doesn't have a split ring either Clem. I may put one on it and try it in a bit.

I'm going to get some and put them on, too. I don't believe it can hurt and may help, or at least make me feel better.

No chance of retrieving without the boat so I broke it off. I will be back down in a week so I will launch the boat.
But to answer the knot question it was an improved cinch and the knot did not break. I was using new 8 lb on a spinning rod. 8lb test!!!

I about puked when I looked up the price on those things. And the pic on academy has no hooks. So you gotta buy the lure at the price of several lunches and then put hooks on it?!?

No they have hooks. Just no tie ring. Tried it yesterday with the ring. Might work a little better with one at least in my mind. But I changed to braid too. That could be the difference.

Geno I remember in the late 80's there were people renting Shad Raps for $25 a day on Lay lake. I don't know what they charged if you lost one.

They did similar (I can't recall how much - I know it wasn't $25) with the original floating rapalas up north many years ago.
