PRO Tip: Cover them with a really light coat of clear silicone and you can use the same one for hours.I fish Okeechobee catching 3-5 pounders and they stay intact with no issues whatsoever..I use the same one over and over again..
For baits that tear easily, i prefer using the biggest sizes...For these baits, i use the 5" in the bluegill colors & 6.5", 9" in the shad/crappie colors....i look at it, if they aren't very durable then i want big fish to make it worth the price...far better chance to catch 4+ lb. Bass on the bigger baits...throwing the smaller sizes more likely to get small bass & for the price isn't worth a 1-2lb. Bass tearing it apart
I mean, don't get me wrong. I still bought more after this video. Cause they do catch fish. And i'm just gonna keep toying with it until I find a better way for them the last
So I had the same problem with them ripping and what I did was melt a red senko and fill the gaps with the red rubber. it took some effort to make it look like wounds but it held it back together for at least another fish.. Solid business model though, will catch fish and will make you want to buy more
Have you tried a jig head with a straight shank hook or hover rig it? If going weedless maybe a larger wire hook? Weedless is always rough on worms especially soft plastic ones. Most likely they went with a soft plastisol on this lure to get a lot of action out of it… of coarse they want us to just buy more and more lol
Get some of the large Owner screw locks and screw them in all the way in, past the eye of the screw lock. Texas rig through the eye of the screw lock. No more tear outs.
@SetFreeFishing you are a man of God show a little more respect to God's creatures instead of just throwing them back, I agree fish have a better survival rate with a soft release not only that its respecting the animal and handling them with care, If you can't accept constructive criticism then you'll never grow....with all due respect.
Yes I have I have it in one of my videos. I think I caught a 5 or 6lb on it. 2/0 ewg with a nail weight in the belly it will swim straight up and down or you can nose hook it just won't be weedless that way
Still pretty much use them in various ways. Pair really well on a shakey head, a willow blade chatter from z man and Texas rig and use mend it when they tare
Great video! I bought several packs a couple of weeks ago. I rigged one Texas and threw it in my pool to check the action. Then rigged it weightless and it would barely hold the hook after 3 hook changes. Sig damage done to the Pano and it was unusable at that point. Loved the way it looked but I was concerned about what your video shows. Thanks for posting it!
Just watched a video where Ben Milliken added some superglue or something. It would be nice if they could make the heads a little tougher. I was thinking add some fibers in the plastic (concrete guys,I think you know what I'm talking about) during the manufacturing process I was also thinking of trying to repair with clear silicone. That would have to be done at home so it would dry.
I still bought the new smaller ones to try. But if durability is the main focus to not use a bait you would have to get rid of all of Gary Yamamoto and googans soft plastics
@@SetFreeFishing it's not just durability. They're paper thin. Drop shot is all I can do with em. The bigger ones look very good. I'm a huge fan of 13. Only bait I've been unhappy with so far. The speed wake is awesome. The cranks are awesome. The Dine swimbait is A++. Just felt like this one shouldn't have been made that small. 2.8. that's the one I'm talking about. Not any other. Haven't fished them. With you on Yama. Won't touch Googan at all. The senko is a certified bag filler, so I'm good with the durability. If the bigger panorama is similarly effective, durability won't matter. The smaller one does get bit a bunch.
