Title: Swimbait Hook and Weighting
Post by: BassDetective on 08/18/11 22:27 UTC

For those of you that have fished the CC Swimbait - What hook and weight combination has worked best? 

I fished a sample today and couldn't get the bait to run true with using the pocket stuffed with a bullet weight and an unweighted hook.  The bait ran great with a Owner Beast Belly Weighted Hook.

Worked the bait again today and got bit right away.  I used an 8/0 Owner Beast 3/8 belly weighted hook and a 1/8 split in the pocket.  This allowed me to burn the bait under the surface.  I really liked this combo.  Bait has a great kick and profile.
