I am looking for a weighted Holcombe Intimidator and am wondering the weight of the bait. MTO has 6oz Intimidators and I cannot figure out if it is the weighted version or the regular. Thanks for the help.

Ask Aaron on his Message board. Doubtfull though that they would have come out with two models unless they were really popular it's a Big bait.

The model on MTO says its 6oz, but it does not say whether it is the weighted or regular version.

It's unweighted. The weighted model is 8.5 oz.

I picked up the 14" weighted intimidator early last season for the fall. I loved the bait and how deep it ran but the weight fell out within the first 5 casts of throwing this bait and now it's unweighted. I need to add some weight again but sucks it happened practically right out of box...

Take a 2oz bell sinker and attach it to the front splitring. That's what I've done on my intimidators and that seams to get me the depth I need plus you can hear the sinker knocking on the sides of the bait.

Use a Berm's weight kit insert available at Rollie and Helens and then screw in weights from Berm's / Fudally tackle to weight the bait. You can put weights in several locations and adjust the dive and rise depths and times it takes to rise.

Slime king nailed it. And try using Berms weighting system on a few of your other baits as well- you'll be suprised how many ways you can make your lures more versatile (running depths, changed lure action, hang time, etc.).
