| Straight or jointed? Also I fish in ohio , leaning on the 8 inch models, should I go with the 10? Strong color preference or opinion. Thinking of getting two. |

| The jointed 8 inch Believer seems to be what you will enjoy fishing the most. |

| I have had success with the 8" jointed. I have used a 10" straight and while it has good action, no luck with it yet. |

Location: MN | ^ You guys use the 13" at all?
Can't comment on OH fishing (small baits preferred?), but I like the 10" in both straight and jointed. I've caught more on the jointed, but my biggest believer fish (52") was on the straight. To me the 8" looked similar, but smaller and it doesn't run very deep without thin line or weight. I got rid of mine. |

I use the 13” ones a lot in the fall. Got a 40” last week on one with 8’ of line out in the prop wash. They wander around a bit. Sometimes you have to put some epoxy around the hook hangers or the line attachment so they don’t leak.
I use the straight 10” ones a lot for prop wash trolling. Great baits! |
