How'd t everyone, from texas ! Been fishing 60 years( I'm old) love it.
Have a question??? I used a short fat soft bait that has a hook groove, pointed on both ends . Used for a short time , 30 years ago, then couldn't fi(http://[img][img][img][img][img][img])[/img][/img][/img][/img][/img][/img]nd em. They showed up at academy a year ago, but only one pack. Since lost the package. Really work top and jerk. Any ideas? Thanks
Hi! Welcome to UB!!
First lure that came to mind was/is the Manns saltwater Ghost. I've used it before and yeah walks really well just no luck on it.
Second is one I saw in a saltwater tackle shop called the D.O.A Pt-7. It's very similar to the Ghost except not prerigged.
Sorry for the D.O.A. meant "single hook slot" not double hooked like the Manns.
Thanks for the opportunity to visit with like minded guys.
The one I'm talking about is solid , not hollow, very thick, maybe 1/2". About 3" long. Pretty heavy, it can be cast a good ways, never used a weight. It walks on top like a Zara spook, and falls slowly and darts around under water quite well. Using a 4.0 hook it's very good top and under water. Thanks for your reply.
Randy,
Welcome to the UltimateBass Family we're glad you're here. Where bouts do you live in Texas? I live in Belton just South of Waco and North of Austin.
Our Academy here in Temple carried that bait for a while. I haven't been over there in a long time. I checked out a couple websites and you might try Zman Bait company. There was a couple baits that looked similar to what you're looking for.
Good luck in finding that bait.
Good to meet you. I'm in Fredericksburg, been all over, raised in midland, lived at possum kingdom for a bit. I'll check that out!! Thanks for your help sir!
Randy, your welcome.
My wife and I travel to Fredericksburg often. We attend shows at the Rock Box Theater on occasion when there's an artist we like to see.
