Matt, I love this. I been fishing a bellos gill all summer long on a ewg super line hook. The glide is where it’s at. Just like a fluke, you get bit on the glide. Owner has a swim bait hook with a screw lock and weight that helps that but blows out the face. Can’t wait to try your new hook. Outstanding Job! Loved the new lake

Seriously talk about back to back game changers

Impressive- can't wait to try it. I'm a kayak angler and these kinds of rigs where the weight is combined with the hook makes rigging and tackle storage much simpler when on the water- which is the name of the game when you're on a kayak. The fewer pieces of terminal needed- and the simpler it is to rig up- the better. Can't wait to add these to the arsenal. You guys make a wacky/Neko solution, and an underspin, and I can just about fish Core Tackle exclusively.

I think I saw a really short 2-minute video that you and Johnny had made about this bait and I immediately jumped on it and ordered a handful of them and can't wait to get them in because I can see how much more efficient you can be with so much incorporated into one bait .. I'm really glad you made this video because I was going to wait until mine got here before I did a really big deep dive on this bait. But just that 2 minute video grabbed my imagination completely and I had to jump on a few as soon as I saw them!! CORE TACKLE is going to do big things there already doing things that no one else has thought about...
