Skimpy Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I love these new poison swing tail jigs ! Perfect for a swing chatterbait ! I wanted to put the blade directly on the wire form but had to cut the wire form to fit on the blade. I was worried the "cut" wire form would open up if hooked into a big bass. So I had to test it out.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBehr Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 They make a great chatterbait! Great video. Now, hook your rod up to a scale and see what the maximum force you could put on a fish (it's shockingly low!) and you will really feel confident! Keep up the great videos!

Vodkaman Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Good job. It looked like the fish would slip off the bent hook before the eye failed. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave I agree.... The rod bend and drag will absorb a ton of the force you are applying in your video.. I showed many how very little pressure you can put on the point of the hook at a cast away. I would hold the mono between my thumb and finger, Have them try and set the hook and jerk the line away from me.... The rod and line don't transmit the hook setting force you might think. Nobody has pulled the line away from me at a cast distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to do this when I was selling fishing equipment. 8'6" salmon rod will only apply a couple of pounds of pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
