>>2369422Nah, for black bass I leave everything stock. K9’s come with ST-36’s and they’re plenty good enough for bass. Stripers? Hell no. ST-41 2x minimum, ST-56 3x recommended. Egg snap on all my glides too, I switch out the split ring if it comes with one.
>>2369432To a certain extent yes, it’s like matching the hatch but instead of flies, nymphs and what not it’s literal baitfish. It’s for catching decent to big predator fish.
>>2369412Yup. And it was worth it. I’ve posted this pic before, but since it’s the biggest striper I’ve gotten on that bait, here it is again.
But yeah swimbaits are a money sinkhole (and a meme).
