My order is in & has the new colors :fishin:

Sounds like every plug I own:fury::rotf2::biglaugh::fishin:

SP is not thru wired to my knowledge.

Nope, there is a picture somewhere of one that a gorilla blue chomped the back off.

The 2 ounce Savage should be here soon. Mike from M&D worked on the design of these..he may have them in a few weeks.
SP is not through wired, the Savage is I'll have a few with me at TFCTFN and plug fest.

The savage manic prey has some nice hardware but the colors are limited not like the SP.

They picked common patterns blue mack, green mack, bone etc...first year of product line. I'm sure with fishermans influence more colors will come.

That would be awesome. The guy at the Hartford show claimed they wouldn't be out till after a July show and realistically not till late summer/early fall.

Told him he was nuts not to release that kind of bait sooner in the NE

Keep fishin it, deffinately not just a ditch killer, especially in a particular harbor that starts with a B. The silver color with the blue back and dots on the side was the most productive for me, but im itchin to try the new sandeel and bone colors

Your banned from fishing those at that harbor

Thanks ,,, yea ,, my favorites are the line and the dots ... not so much the mackerel ... I think it's a better sand eel than a mack .

I totally agree

not sure how many folks fish the sweetwater here, but they are a killer LMB and pike bait..

Is the savage a Diawa ?? also

No Clammer. I mentioned the Manic Minnow, its made by Savage, not Diawa. Seperate company. They came out with a similar plug to the SP, but made it heavier and through wired. Stock out of the box they are 1.3 oz. They are also making a 2 oz version.

Tx /......just got confused ..again:smash:

Clammer, they have a new memory pill out. A big spread in todays paper. :uhuh:

Anyone ever put a Si Wash on the back of an SP?

There's alot of ways to rig these. Alot of guys have said a siwash kills the action. The way MikeP described earlier in the thread is how alot of guys rig them. I did a test one day and found what I liked . Brought down a few rigged differently they all had no tail hook (tail hook treble kills too many fish) they were rigged with 1/0,2/0 and 3/0 trebles on belly only. I found with the 1/0 there were alot of hits and misses...2/0 was better but a 3/0 on belly worked the way I liked it without killing the action. If anything it seemed to swim a bit deeper which had excellent results.

I wasn't going to post until the rigging differently post was thrown into the fray. I love this lure. Did I say that? Its plastic though. I should have an undercover screen name for this one post. No I really like these lures. The mac and the silver were aces for me all season, and especially when I fished the vineyard this last fall. I put 5/0's on one mac to weight it down some, and to more to go deeper/cast just a little farther. Any retrieve works. Looking forward to the Savage beast that Andy is talkin about.

Is that Franks evil twin?? Using a plastic lure??

RM,

Now what did I do with that newspaper :bounce:

It's in the Q room???

Bingo on 3/0 4X. I rigged a couple and in June had a banner night in front of the campground.

I don't like a hook of any type on the rear, but I have a couple rigged with just a flag on the back. Most others with only a 3/0 belly treble. The flag quiets the wobble down, which sometimes is what they're looking for. Much more pronounced wobble with the single bellyhook.

I've fished the SPs but prefer the x-rap xr-14. Has a weight transfer system and is about and 1.5 oz. my success has come when ripping the plug and a pause after the pause comes a fish ;)
