Hey everyone,
I'm brand new to the board and I thought that this would be a good first post for me to make. My question is in regards to hard swimbaits. I want to take single-jointed waking baits, or slow sinkers, and somehow figure out how to weight them to get them down in the water column. I like the idea of the sinking version of the 7 in 3:16 Hyper Herring ( http://www.316lurecompany.com/baits/hh.html ) I want to fish this bait as a mackerel imitation in salt water and that is why I need a fast sinker that I can get down to 30+ feet and slow roll. I need to do this without affecting the action of the bait too much, just a good slow tail kick from the single joint. If anything I will use a DEPS Silent Killer as my starting bait and modify that because the action is exactly what I need. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
