Thanks for the info and help w/ the castaic bait, i really appreciate it. You pretty much answered every other question i forgot to ask. And w/ the hook up percentage, i was thinking exactly the same thing. If a big one actually decides they want to eat that thing, they are going to inhale it. Im gonna go out and buy the castaic w/ the foam head and soft body. Thanks again fish chris, i always liked your approach to bass fishing, you put alot of soul into it. Strictly hardcore. Good fishing to ya.
