It is belly weighted and the 7/0 hooks help too. Plenty of water displacement and chugging for attraction.

Re: Dollar/yen exchange rate

There may be other considerations, as well. For example, I wanted a right-handed model of the Antares DC. On the website I was following, the right-handed option disappeared. When I emailed the owner, he said he still had a couple of righties. So I grabbed one. If I'd waited until after Jan. 20, wh...

Re: Dollar/yen exchange rate

Here is exactly what has happened ober the last year . With the election result and it's effect on the markets here, winter coming, Japan's economic issues, etc., I am gussing we will see an even more favorable exchange rate in the next few months. That's what I'm hooping for. I'd love a favourable...

Re: Eye Yai Yai

It's made of maple, so it is dense and casts very well. The Omen is rated 4-12 oz .
I make the majority of my muskie baits so I rotate through a bunch and have not really given this the trolling time it deserves.

Re: Technique Specific Suffocation

There has to be a point of diminishing returns. I have read threads started here where a guy asks for the best jig rod for a very tight range and then proceeds to start another thread or twelve about whale jig rods needed for another (or multiple) very tight ranges...

In reading the info from the SC site I can find no info leading me to believe they use two different glasses. In fact they are essen...
