Posts: 580 | Wondering what anyone can tell me about this bait? How does it compare with a regular Suick? Any tips/tricks? I'm heading up to Canada in a couple weeks. Do I need one of these? Thanks in advance. | ||

Posts: 365 | I think that a 10" weighted Suick would be big enough ,,, thats what Doug Johnson throws (famous LOW guide),,,,,, the "Bronze Perch" color pattern has always been good to me ---- good luck ---- jimjimjim | ||

Don't have much experience but I've used one. For my usage at the time it went way too deep, rose too slow-- I drilled 90% of the lead out. That was for high summer use Wabigoon. With the lead drilled out ran about 2-3' under, on a pretty quick but not banging away, pull/sweep and pause rhythm. Liked it a lot, without the weight. Use 10" unweighted often, keep meaning to pick up a 12" unweighted but never did. The drilled 12 ran kindof similar to my unweighted 10s. But way a single suick runs doesn't always mean much about how the next one runs. I didn't experiment much with it stock, (weighted), before modding for my needs. With the lead in place, running 5'+ easy, slow rise. Barely needs any bend on the tail to get on down there. Might be great for late season. Think it got something like a full oz of lead -- might consider the unweighted with screw-in weights or bell sinkers if you're not sure you want to run it deep. Or bring a drill. | |||

if anyone has experience with unweighted or weighted I'd like to know more I've never hard if Doug Johnson using a 12 -- wonder if he does, doesn't, his thoughts, compared to his beloved 10 un-weighted | |||

Posts: 410 Location: Wakefield, MI | I like a 12" weighted Suick when the weather gets cold. I like to work them slow and this one is ideal for that. | ||
