Dude 3 months ago you were posting pics and reports about bait and piers. Now you are posting plugs. It would appear that you are really hooked! There is no turning back. Welcome to the addiction.
thanks steve and your right! i wasted tons of money on bait several times a week and never caught ****! curious to know how long it took others to make the switch? for me it took a little less then a yr as i started saltwater fishing in march 2011. i think . either march or may. 1 m or the other
Xtreme, I have fished the salt for many years, since I was 12. After I finally made the committment to artificials, I caught small bass, but a keeper eluded me....and I worked real hard at it, but the learning curve was steep, as there was no internet to help me along....I'm thinking you may get your keeper a lot sooner than that 2 year timeframe...guess it was a good thing that ya ran into that Darkskies smelly wader dude.....
yeah.... it sure was a good thing u took the time to stop and talk to me that day
Just don't tell your wife the real prices you paid for your gear.
those plugs look great!
oh yes keep the price to your self the ladies will look at you crazy i opened my mouth once wont do it again
they swam perfect after i tuned them left a hugh V wake. He reels too fast I told him they are calm water surface plugs. You must reel slow and when you think your reeling slow reel slower especially with his high retrieve Penn Battle. RM's do not track well in moving water they are like Gibbs danny plugs they like calm water and a slow retrieve. Me i'll stick to my Siagon slammers when I fish wood. Wood is good but day in and day out IMO plastics better
Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again

They look good...That's about it lol
They never swim right and I don't even bother with them anymore because I have to adjust them ever other cast
Do you mean that your bending the the front loop up or down ?
If I recall correctly I bent them down.
well X,you have to tune them to swim correctly.you have to actually bend the eye a bit up or down and a little at a time to get them right.
to make them swim on surface you'd have to bend the eye down a bit at a time till it's the way you like.you can also bend the eye up a little bit at a tiem to make it swim subsurface or at a point it can do both.you have to tweak them.
like spark plugs,thay are not set in the box,you have to set them.
I'll take them off your hands,i always have room for another plug even though thats the last thing I need.
will give you more room for new stuff.

If more folks would pay attention to how their plugs swim they could double their catches.....
No wonder they call you a sharpie, Roddy..... thinking outside the box has paid off for you many times....
(But I already beat ya on the offer, called him yesterday afternoon offering to take those "defective plugs" off his hands..... )
Actually, after I found out Finchaser had tuned them for him., I kind of yelled at him and got him to promise to give those plugs some more patience and effort...before one of us "takes them off his hands"
