OT: Question for Bob Rickard regarding SW's

Bob

Had the oppurtunity to hit the lake on Thur afternoon, and we were chasing toothy critters (Muskie). I started off using a 1/2 oz Fire Tiger SW w/ a leader due to the chance of getting bit off. (I went small, while the guy I was fishing with was throwing large baits.)

No strikes - but what I did find is that I was having to re-set the clip of the leader into the "U" of the SW just about each time that I retrieved the bait. Often, my retrieve brought the lure back with the clip of the leader tangled in the blades. I realize you intended the SW's as a bass bait, but they are nice for Pike and Muskie as well.

So my question is: Have you considered adding a "closed loop" style frame to your lures? Thanks

Jim

PS: Steve H: If you read this, the guy I was with got a follow from a sub legal fish on a Suick. Only activity we had.

I never use a leader when fishing spinnerbaits for toothy critters, but if you feel you must, and you want to use an open loop spinnerbait, slip a short piece of plastic tubing over the R-bend first, then the clip on the leader. RichZ© www.richz.com/fishing RichZ
