What kind of line are y'all throwing these baits on?
Thanks. Although at the time I wasn't aware of that - as well as I no longer have the pieces or any proof of purchase. No biggie though ???.
I use braid with a heavier mono or fluorocarbon leader if I'm on the river (rocks etc). If I'm in open water I typically use 14-20lb Fluoro. And that's with 6-9" heavier baits. That may not be ideal, but it's what I've always done.

30lb braid on the main line and a BP XPS 25lb flouro leader about 2-3ft in length. Rod is a St Croix Mojo Bass and the reel is Lewes SS.

I don't make them, just fish them. Details on the bait are below on post #20. I switched to these after I had 4 different ******ads pull apart in the joints, three on fish and one in mid air. They were all generation 1's so maybe thethey problems have been corrected.

Mike did have a slight problem with the pins in the gen1 baits but haven't had any problems with the gen2's or the herrings. I even had an 8" ******ad gen1 come apart on me after the biggest striper I have ever hooked into tied me up in some trees in about 40' of water on hartwell. I let him know and there was another one the mailbox a few days later. I've seen tripple trouts, 3:16's, and more that have came apart and those are some of the best in the swimbait industry.
