    I'm sure a ton of your customers know this stuff, but for a new bass fisherman, I can't get enough of your videos and how educational they are. And yes, I'm one of those customers that was asking about hook size when I purchased my first set of Hazedong swim baits! You are helping me build a solid tacklebox...do we still call them that :)

    For some reason when I use a flashy swimmer I get a lot of strikes on the blade itself so, if I can- I often swap it out for a Cool Baits Down Under Spin- I use the bluegill madness 3/16ths head and a hazedong in the green pumpkin/chartreus laminate color- can't remember the name of it- looks just like sungill from Keitech. Spotted bass absolutely destroy it- they can't get enough of it. Some times I swim it normally- sometimes I swim it super slow so the blade just drags on the rocks along bottom instead of spinning- it's super effective around spotted bass or smallies. That said- buy a bunch cause they're not weedless at all- and they get stuck in the cracks in the rocks- you lose a lot of them but, man it catches them- it's worth it to me.

    I’ve been using lindy rig weights on my weedless swimbait riggging for years now and what it does for casting distance is amazing(acts as a weight transfer). The advent of free rig weights gives me more options now and you can use a peg to keep it from sliding to far back into the bait. When you kill it it will spiral nose down too! 16th oz on a 3 inch spark Shad with a weedless hook is a killer! Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed!
