Posts: 425 | pepsiboy - 3/28/2010 7:52 AM 50"skie - 3/27/2010 10:17 PM I love the action of the Havana Jack. This is an 8.5 inch bait and comes only with two 5/0 trebles. Those hooking percentages are not ssooo good. So, what I did is just add another one on. I screwed in another screw eye directly center of the other two hooks and added a 4/0 treble on. Still has the exact same action and the hooks do not get tangled with each other. Great hooking percentage and Great action! Jake Heuer if you ask me the additional treble hooks look useless considering the space between original hooks location,it look like 3 to 4 inch.if you miss fish with the original setting its not gonna be something big no? Yeah I was kinda thinking the same thing. I also have one that I switched out the two 5/0 (that comes when you buy it) and switched them out with two 7/0 trebles. I guess I'll just test them out this season and see witch one has better hook ups. If ya ask me I think this one will. Jake Attachments ----------------  7:0.jpg (70KB - 261 downloads) | ||

Posts: 425 | Esox-Hunter - 3/28/2010 10:20 AM More I think about it, it may make it a little heavier which would make the lure ride lower and push more water? Exactly! Experiment with. Jake, are you losing fish on the Hjack or are you having a lot of blow-ups? I run the Hjack with the original hooks and every fish that has hit I have hooked up. I only landed one fish on the two 5/0's and had a lot of blow ups. They would just come and take a swipe at the bait and, well.........  Thats why I have been experimenting with the different hooks. I didn't really have a lot of time to test the two 7/0 out because I just started putting them on last fall. | ||

Posts: 425 | Esox-Hunter - 3/28/2010 10:20 AM I run the Hjack with the original hooks and every fish that has hit I have hooked up. I would just keep on using that if it's working for you. It's probably just a confidence thing. Plus...I just like to mess around with the baits.  Jake Heuer | ||

Posts: 2024 | I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a One-Eyed Willy and OEW Jr. last year for Project Noble Beast. The OEW is a beast and moves tons of water as well as riding waves well. I became partial to the smaller OEW Jr. which reminded me a little of the Phat Boy, except on steroids. Great sound for a smaller WTD bait and extremely user friendly. You can get this little puppy to do a 180-270 no problem... which triggered this gorgeous 48" (and #27 for the study) into obliterating the bait!

Posts: 20211 Location: oswego, il | I really like my weagle. As for the color, it's black with a white head. My other favorites are the recon in both sizes from H2otackle and you can weight them to your likeing. I also really like the shad topwater and kahuna topwaters from Hoosire hand made musky baits. Here are pics of the recon, shad topwater and kahuna which is a plastic bait: Attachments ---------------- taopwater3.jpg (39KB - 219 downloads) topwater1.jpg (24KB - 244 downloads) topwater2.jpg (166KB - 279 downloads) | ||

Posts: 131 | Steve Jonesi - 3/31/2010 10:36 AM Is that $30 Canadian??? Hey guys, depends on where you shop. Our Mojo Weagles have always been $24.99. More for the Wild action tail version and 10 inchers. Both the Weagles and Wabulls have been selling at a pretty fast clip this spring. Once the Muskie Mojo baits are gone, they are gone. Looking forward to getting some of the Suick models in, in the near future. Attachments ---------------- weagle_stink_pumkin.jpg (20KB - 220 downloads) | ||
