Ok, Thanks. I've got some more switching out to do.

Done & done. First drift of the year and I hooked up almost instantly. A couple dogs & a nice silver. Solid hook up just like you guys said. Right in the corner of the mouth. I loved it. Lots more fishing to do. Thanks a bunch.

Right on!
Glad to see your questions were answered.

Slabhunter, while reading through this post I saw the pix of your plugs with the siwash setup. Are the plugs in that picture a custom paint job or are these a stock pattern? I think that is one awsome looking plug. Do you have some specifics you would share? If not I fully understand.

Thanks, RJ in Montana

The plugs in the image are a stock color Worden's Fatfish. I believe Storm Lures and Brads Wigglers are available in a similar pattern.
I like to fish them like the guys you see on the weekend bass shows, cast retrieve over six to ten foot water, near structure.
