Thanks dude. It's funny because I still haven't quite gotten my copy yet (may be in the mailbox right now)! The folks at Yamamoto are some good people.
As fer them swimbaits, I tell you the sure do catch fish. It won't be long till I find the right lake around here to start catching them on the rubber.
And about the slammers, here's what to do. Go to
http://www.msslammer.com
Go to the ordering info page and give Mike Shaw a call at the number listed. If you call, the death plug to buy is the new trout tail 9 inch slammer in the "dark" rainbow trout. Tell Mike I told you the dark one, he will know what you are talking about. Then break out your 25lb gear and hold on. I came about 6 inches from glory today at Chabot on a 12 inch slammer when a fish that was 12-13lbs chased it up. She was THIS close to eating it, my heart about stopped.
Next time hopefully it will be HOOK-UP
