Pete & Larry, thanks for all the info!
I used the same set up at 2 different lakes in Utah with great success on rainbows, browns & a couple of Lg. Mouth to 5 lbs that inhaled the little baits. I was trolling my little 14 alum. boat at 1.5 mph & the swimbaits looked great. The Hammers way outfished the Rapala & got as many bite's as the Pinn's minnow but I didn't lose as many fish when they jumped as I did on the minnow? I used 8 lb. as the trap rig leader sewn into the bait & didn't have any break. Maybe because the biggest trout was around 18", tons of sm. fish. I did have quite a bit of success w/the 3" Hammer on leadcore, including the longest ripper trout hookup that I have ever had but the hook pulled early in the fight.

I have a couple of photo's but MOF is down?
