6.99 might have to order a couple of those, if nothing else I bet I can catch some nice hybrids on them.

I know a couple of Fork guides who are doing work with deps 250's, gliding gizzards, bull shads, and hudds among other big baits now.

Depends on the lake and the forage to an extent and of course, CONDITIONS. I've had good success here in TX on 8" BBZ-1 (floater and slow sink), Cl8 bait (pronounce "CLATE "bait)bait clacker (it's 7"), a/c minnow 9", mattlures hard gill (5.5 inches), lunker punker (9"), "old school" 8" a/c plug, Savage Gear Line Through Trout (8 inches), as well as various paddle tail baits in the 5 inch range ( the havoc grass pig is the best for me by far). The biggest thing is to learn "when" to throw em. A good starting point is early/late in the day and in the dark.

How many times have you casted a truck payment in the water? For those that are unfamiliar, The record holding Japanese 22lbs. bass was caught on a Roman Made Mother. Go to www.romanmade.com and have a look around.
