gs slammers ?

Blue Oyster,

The Slammer is fantastic when used in rivers and breachways... and dead sticking in a drift as Mikey had mentioned.

As many do very well with these during this time of year on the CT River...

The profile of the lure doesn't allow you distance unless the wind is at your back, and I would highly recommend that these be used for trolling.

When used under the right conditions, and application, this lure is extremely efective, especially on Tuna and other offshore species as Flaptail has mentioned... as well as larger sized Bass when trolled.

Sidearm casting will help some in optimizing distance.

I would only recommend this lure for the surf under the right conditions.

It's merely a matter of the right application.

And yes, they are through wired, and very durable.

Al Gags admitted to some issues with weighting on some of these early on and that later ones were better and I believe all the ones that Don does are the new style. Certainly not a surfcasting lure but good from a breachway / dumping river inlet. I know a couple places where I'm going to use a few within the next month / month and a half ...

Maybe Don can chime in a bit but unlike Al when he was pushing these as a great surfcasting lure I believe Don was saying that they work well in some shore applications (bways/inlets/current when you can be upstream from the lure) but they are a better trolling lure...

And like Flap says, the Tuna supposedly kill these things...

Here's one caught off a pink.

Extra swivel gives awesome action for tuna! They work. In surf, it's not a lure to explore an area with, but if they are there...... Nice trolling lure, and I can't wait to try on a kayak.

My camera doesn't do it justice.

There are a number of tackle websites that have links to good pics of the Slammer.

I was going to post one or two but I wanted to make sure it was ok with this site's rules.

This is what I found...

Commercial Advertising without written permission from Striped-Bass.com is Strictly Prohibited, this includes self promotion and promotion of external entities. This is locally considered "SPAM" and is prohibited at Striped-Bass.com

If I post a link to an "external entity" that shows lures for sale, then will that be a violation of the rules - even though the link is not to a product that I sell? Will that be promoting an external entity if it is just to show folks good pics of a lure being discussed here?

Don't want to stir the pot or anything, really, just need clarification.

Respectfully,
Mike
