Jeff Hahn Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I use a 4/0 Mustad long shank spinnerbait hook. It's the exact same size as the hook used on the original RAD baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macstackleman Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Tip to keep paint out of eye! Cut 1/8" shrink tubing about 3/16 to 1/4 inch long. Slip over eye before heating to paint. When heating to paint tubing grabs onto eye. Before curing just peel off tubing and ready to cure!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plbass Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Whats the reasoning for bending the blade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VersatileFuturian Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 The more you bend the blade, the more control you have over the bait. I like to find a happy medium. Where it runs relatively straight on a steady retrieve but when I pop it or speed my retrieve up, it jerks to the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) You can retrieve a bent blade faster without it rising. Some blades come with two holes in the outer edges, and these seem to allow a slightly faster retrieve without the bait rising, but I bend them anyway.

Apdriver Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I just get more consistent vibration with the blade bent. I can retrieve it slower with good vibration, in other words. Just slow rolling that puppy along the bottom or right over the top of riprap just touching the tops of the rock every once in a while. Dynamite! Hang on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
