Me too. They may not look like much but they flat out work and I don't have to fret over them if I get one snagged.

Jig, t-rig baby brush hog, frog

That's really cool, such an old school lure.

I'll have to pick some up, I love spinnerbaits but never tried the H&H Original. Are they only available in 3/8oz?

Just curious, what hook do you use for the rage craws dropshotted? I have been using them all summer and love them like crazy, but I seem to lose more fish with them than normal, even setting the hook hard with a standard texas rig and a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG or other hooks. Are you getting a good hookup ratio?

Are you getting a good hookup ratio?

When I'm fishing deep in no or very light (just on the bottom) type cover, which is how I usually fish it - especially for SMB, I use spinning gear and a standard 3/0 Gamakatsu EWG on the Rage Craw - on 10 lb braid & an 8lb sometimes 10lb Big Game Mono leader (green). They usually choke it pretty good, especially when it's all slathered up with Megastriike or the claws are dipped in spike-It garlic. Either way, I don't have any trouble hooking fish and consider the rig as fool proof as any I fish - a real producer; particularly when the fish are in deep clear water.

When fishing it in denser (but not massive cover) I'll beef up the whole rig. Casting gear - 30 lb braid, a 15 lb mono leader (or none at all). Then the plastic goes on a 3/0 Owner Wide Gap Plus EWG hook. A super strong, very sharp, superbly designed, Gaff of a hook.

Can you tell I like that one ?

Hope that helps
