#1077, "RE: Couple more Castaic Platinum Videos to check out"
In response to In response to 11


  

          

I got my Platinums delivered this morning...an 8 inch and a 6 inch, both slow sinking. I went down to the boat ramp this evening to test drive them.
8 inch - I installed a #2 owner stinger. The hook holder magnets are pretty interesting. All my casts had the hooks held UP, I did not try to hang the belly hook to see if the action was different. Also did not throw the bait without the stinger. The bait had to be retrieved fairly fast to get the swimming action. You cant fish it as slow as a Hudd and keep the tail kicking. The bait will sink horizontally like a Hudd (rof5). I liked the action fishing more like a jerk bait...twitch pause, etc. The bait would almost do a 360. I'm thinking that the stinger might have impeded the swimming action some.
6 inch - Thought this bait performed better than the 8 inch bait. It swam at slower speed, and the twitch retrieve was pretty good.

I was throwing the bait in an area with alot of milfoil, so i was picking grass off the bait on almost every cast.

The bait still looks like a lure, while the Hudd looks like a trout.
