18149, Weedless swimbait heads?
Posted by dockboy, Sun May-22-11 02:48 AM
Recently the fish I have been on have been keyed in on 2-3" shad. I remembered Rob's article on Big Hammers, and sure enough matching a 3" Glow Sardine got bit 1st cast, and got several fish and a couple more bumps before I lost them all. Therein lies the issue; in order to get any casting distance, I have to fish light 6-8lb line. The open hook on the Fishco style tri-heads I was using got bit, but the lake is at full pool and the brush sucks up the open points on thise heads. WAR baits has their 3/8th oz heads with the guard, as does Blade Runner, but 3/8 is too heavy. Right now I'm trying a 1/4 Gammie darter with a weedguard and glued on eyes, but the regular heads have the better profile. Anybody know of a weedless swimbait head in 1/4oz?
