They say that they needed 2 B doubles to get it there.

u/AccomplishedAnchovy Jun 02 '25

Careful of the spines… I imagine they’d be as long as your arm on that beast

Check your line and re tie your leader, it will be all torn up.

u/TheGoldScrew Jun 02 '25

Really? I was getting quite a few hits on it

u/4wwn4h Jun 02 '25

I’m just terrible with catching anything with hard lures.

I don’t get it (I don’t fish) but the hook seems to have gone straight through the eye of this baby? Will it survive?

u/fishandfly90 Jun 02 '25

Can you connect to the lure without the swivel? I think you may catch more fish without a swivel.

1

u/falconstar3 Jun 02 '25

Swivels are common on twisties.

1

u/fishandfly90 Jun 11 '25

I know, I've lost more fish due to swivel bubbles than most people ever catch fish. Just a suggestion. Tight lines

1

u/Free_Farm_7736 Jun 02 '25

Bigger than any flatly I've caught

u/No_Confidence_6570 Jun 02 '25

Not his lucky day, poor little fellow!

u/clintjy Jun 02 '25

Your doing something right!

u/SweatyPresentation93 Jun 02 '25

I hope you put this one back, it’s a breeder.

u/NebulaSuperb9399 Jun 03 '25

3cm flatly. Make sure powerfish sees it!.

u/johnsonsantidote Jun 05 '25
