Great information, It helps narrow down my selection greatly. great!
Thanks for the tips.

Thanks Tony. I do have a question though. I fish the back waters in North Carolina. We have huge tidal swigs, 5-7 feet, which I find hard to pick the right size weighted hook. would it be advisable to just use a 1/4 oz as to a 1/16th?
Hey Paula!
Yes I would go with at least 1/4oz and have maybe up to 3/4oz or even 1oz depending on the depth and current.
Thanks Tony
Good info. Greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Good simple presentation…I have added two shrimp lures my short selection just to mix up the presentation.
Thank you for the feedback Bill!
Thank you Tony, are there videos on how to properly work these lures?
You’re welcome Rick! Yes we have various videos on retrieving many of these lures. I would suggest typing “retrieve” into the search bar and you’ll see all the results come up.
