ANY OF YOU GUYS SOAK YOUR BAITS TO GET EM WATERLOGED. I HAVE A COUPLE SUICK'S THAT THINK THERE SURFACE BAITS. PLAYED WITH THE TAILS , EVEN WEIGHTED 1 ,HELPED A LITTLE.


ARE THERE ANY DRAWBACKS SUCH AS THE WOOD CRACKING OR ALL THE PAINT FALLING OFF?

THANKS , GREAT BOARD

I always soak my Reef Hawgs overnight and man do they hang nicely when water-logged. Regarding the paint coming off, my most productive Reef'ers look like I have dragged them behind my truck fo a week (bare wood, scrapes, etc)!!!!!

I use suicks alot, I find that because they soak up water fairly quick I don't need to soak them.
As for a suick being made of a light wood, I have had some of those in the past and have tried everything to get them to run right and nothing seems to work other than adding weight.
Now what I do to add weght is to add the inserts and screw in weight system made by fundally.
Good hunting,Jeff<*))))><

On certain lakes where I have favorite baits I will fill the baitwell as soon as I hit the water and throw a few of my favorite baits in to marinate. Wobblers, Reef hawgs, Suicks etc.
