Baptized my Blat ultra light rod rig in today and look at my first catch in my kayak with it... Aahhhh... it's a bass!! πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ« πŸ˜‚... yeah buddy!! Sure, it's a little one, but so fitting for our group!!

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.

1.5 oz is what I got away with that day.Β  That was just enough to break through the tops of those clumps and get down about 10ft to the bottom.

BLAT has been telling us to get out to practice these techniques he's been teaching us the last couple of weeks. So I desided to take a day and dial in on punching a Texas rig through grass mats that were scattered in one of the lakes I like to fish. Doing the heavy set up for these grass clumps! Big weight, big hook, big braid, etc...darn near pretty close to what his videos have gone through... had a blast, it was a much needed and fun day and had some success. The one I got the short clip of was close to 18" and around 3 lbs. I did get the drop shot rod heated up too on some suspended bass I had found. Great day all n all.
