The swimbait plastic market is pretty saturated now. I personally mostly stopped buying new stuff awhile back ever since I was introduced to the z-man line of elaztech plastics. That material has insanely good properties for fishing . It is softer and more pliable than pretty much any other silicone like plastic but a lot stronger. The only negative is that is is harder to properly rig them,(Mainly because of it's very elastic, rubbery qualities.) and you have to store them seperately from other plastics. Can't store them loose in typical plastic plano type containers, because they will warp and deform them overtime. Stuff floats too, which can be good or bad. That being said...some of those Campania color combinations and choices with the extra flash strips make those interesting. Some good fish(erman) catching stuff there. That beavertail style thing, is cool. Those style hooks work.(EWG) The Trapper Tackle hooks in particular are great. Good fish holding capability. They also hold the baits a lot better. You will get a few less hookups on the strike, but they hold good once hooked.
Been hooking up plenty with the offset swim bait hooks they work great just remember to set da hook when u get a strike. I've been using the weighted hooks little more stable and upright.
Keeping up with Instagram is an awesome tool to anticipate changes with your favorite tackle shop and lure makers. This was a really great informative video! Hope your lures catch cracks as soon as the weather clears up! Mahalo
More fisherman's jewelery! That said, don't you have trouble with the triggerfish and wrasses biting the tail end off of your soft plastics? I fish primarily hard baits because the curly tails often come back without the tails. Does anyone sell those worm hooks locally or is it strictly online?
the frantics look like a zoom fluke with glitter. the hooking style you used are usually to make it weedless, both lures could be used with a leadhead but most likely less than a half oz so as to not be thicker than the body of the lure
Did the freshwater hook into the Campania work? I'm curious if you had success with it.
Hooks for bass right? Any update?! How did those hooks work in the ocean?
What size hooks you use with the bigger plastics
Sorry what is GT?
Giant trevally, or known in Hawaii as an Ulua
