Keep it coming, Brain. Way to be!

It's a special time aint it!

Do it to it, Ray!

Looks like you'all got after em and had some fun doing so!!

That is a super exciting, yet terrifying and even painful story you experienced all at the same time! Thanks for sharing though. At least you got to see it and gave an honest effort!

Oh boy, crank baits, you got now...! Some of these baits ive seen pictures of you cranking out are pretty awesome dude. What depth are those rated to run? Are they DT series (ish) or what would the body mold be from?

To your question, ive never had a split ring issue. With the wood crankbaits that Ive used the thing that happens to me the most is the lip/tounge breaks off. That would be my main issue, alot of the time this happens I'm clearing weeds off when that occurs. I'm pretty hard on them. Could be a me issue.
