cheers art thanks for that, its nice to cross check the tables to make sure they arent off.

yeah i remember on evening fishing in june years ago, would have been about the 19th, on a moon transit time close to sunset, day of new moon. warm, warm water, high pressure and approaching thunder.

i had 18 tench in two hours to speci size, it was hectic and the swim was bubbling like a jacuzzi. it can be amazing when everything comes together

I'll double it and go for two flaws....
1. Hook too weak.
2. Hook on end of bait and not in middle, where bass always hit the bait.

Whats my prize?

Following Pat's comment, can it be that because of the weight being evenly distributed they do not "swim" correctly, but tail down kinda thing? I heard the heads of some jigs are heavier that the tails to avoid this...

beat,tempo, timeing most beat/wiggle to much.kiltys a highly rated lure, i stopped useing them for every 1 bass that u get theres 10+ that see and refuse them..............did any of the lure makers ever even look at a sandeel swimming??? a handel of a steel butter knife propperly rigged will outfish every lure on the market.i know i have tryed most of em.
M.C. I dont rate this wkend.(lunar wise) the wind is/has been from the south last few days, first time in months so it might make a difference
