I've done a couple of test trials tossing the 5" Tru-Tungsten lure.   I was using the sinking version with both ball bearings in it.  Weight on the scale at 1.25 oz.  Got very good distance on it.  I was getting just a little above 40 yrds even with the wind blowing at me.  That's pretty good.

The 5" Tru-Tungsten floating version weighs about 1 oz.  What's different about this one is it doesn't float sideways at standstill.  The casting distance I got were just a little above 30 yrds.  The other problem was that the hooks tend to foul up.  I might try to downgrade the rear hook to see how this will affect it.

The swimbait is from lurecraft, makes a nice little bait.

Anybody throw SOFT swimbaits? I normally throw hard, but I recently started making my own soft ones and have been doing pretty well with them.


      How much you selling them for?  They look really good, not too many fish keyed in on bait balls would pass those up..

 I'll leave the Sebiles too the "Pro's".. :w00t:
