Location: Lake St.Clair | Hey guys Im new to the forums but Ive been a "Lurker" for awhile now. Great group of guys on the site!
I got into a debate last night with a buddy of mine about the differences between DCG's and SpankyBaits.I myself love the Spankybaits he obviously is a DCG guy. The main disagreement was the flashabou the spanky baits have. The DGS seem to have a thinner material than the Spanky's. Does this sound right? He claims it the exact same flashabou on both lures but I think Spankys a tougher better material. Am I wrong? Sounds dumb but I just want to prove him wrong.lol I WILL be bringing a spankybait over to his house just to prove it! Just wanted to make sure I'am right before I loose a bet! Thanks, Rick  |

| I think the spankys also have the thicker blades, .040 to .025 on DCG's. some guys like them, some say no difference. I think the thicker ones run a little deeper and lay back against the shaft of the bait more, less vibration some say? Might notice them pulling a little easier. |

| I'm fairly certain it's the same material. Hedron Inc. makes a special commercial cut (you can get similar Magnum Flashabou, but not sure if it's the exact same width or not) only available if you present them with a FET form. I know Spanky Baits uses the commercial Hedron material (just talked with Dan at the Chicago Show about it), but not positive what the Mayhem uses on their baits.

| 3.2 was made to slow roll over weeds and simply has a smaller weight in the rear. You could see if Dan could tie you up something with less (or more) weight if you wanted.

I was wondering the same thing. They will be at the show this weekend- if you did'nt know already. |

| You can order Spanky Baits with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 oz weights.
If you want heavier ones, when you order them, just tell Dan that you want 3/4 oz weight on them.
