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.

the spanky baits has a 3.7 oz and a 3.2 oz double ten,any difference since I was thinking of ordering some and not sure what weight to get.

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.

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.
