And on the VMC, I didn't care for how the line tie angles downward. So I will give these things a try and see if they are worth all the hoopla. I chose the 5/0 size. Also picked up a Heddon One Knocker Spook, one Strike King Sexy Dog and Sexy Dog Jr, one of those Live Target Field Mouses Dean is always talking about, a package of 1/4 oz. stand up Yum jigs with 5/0 hook for larger creature baits. It sure don't take much to hit the $50 mark!!!

The Bait Monkey strikes again!

I agree with the consensus-an EWG is the way to go with those thicker baits. The EWG won't get clogged up with plastic like a offset or straight shank hook can.
