+Victor Xavier Hey Vic - thank you! Appreciate the view and the comment. I have like 5 videos pending so look for a bunch of reviews coming out soon.

+Bob N Mihaylov Great idea Bob and at a good price. Yeah....I know these paperclips are a bit bootleg, but hey....they work!

+KeepinItReelFishing Nothing wrong with the paperclips, they do the job just as well and at the end of the day, that’s what counts. A good example showing that creativity doesn’t need to be complicated or expensive. Best regards and tight lines!

+Bassmafia69 Brooks Thanks brotha

+toadslayer72 I should have consulted the NY Grand Masta first! That's dumb....they should have continued to "brand" the ROF's. I'm eager to hear about your first few outings....well, after the double 7lb extravaganza last year!

LMAO!!! Apparently I'm one of the cool kids. Hahaha. I knew I was gonna pay for jumping the gun. Awesome vid dude.

+KeepinItReelFishing Me too, I saw one fish that put those 7s to shame.

+Capt Daves Sportfishing Charters Ha ha...yeah Dave. My cat likes to hang around when shooting video's and he gets these sneezing fits sometimes. I'm looking forward to more BIG BASS too! I hope I can produce!! I'm 4 weeks in and 5 trips and nothing good to show so far.

I think its a great move. I'm a northeast angler and its the same deal in terms of max fish size. But, like you stated not too many people, if any, are doing it yet on the waters I fish. So....its still a high risk / high reward technique (at least with the 8" Hudd), but the upside is there is no pressure from other people using these lures. The 6" models and Huddgills are great, and I have averaged larger than normal fish, but the magic is with the 8" model. That lure gives big bites and almost only big bites.

They make them in bass colors too. I live in Arizona and our lakes do have trout but I use the smaller Huddleston in bass colors when the bass are spawning. I will throw it all along bed lines because i want to make the bass think that its a hungry baby bass looking for food and the adult bass hammer it when it get near their nest.

Denver Williams I also live in texas and almost all of my big swimbaits are in rainbow trout color and I catch a lot of fish on them. I have a couple swimbaits in shad color and there's no difference. they don't stock trout in the lakes I fish, btw. the bass will eat anything they can fit in their mouth, color doesn't matter that much.

+TheBushwooky Oohh....that's a good idea. Yeah, your right. JJ's appears to chemically bond with whatever you dip it in. Good thinking man!

+KeepinItReelFishing except the plastic zman uses i tried it and it actually like burnt thorough the plastic

+Kade Wesner i used a tube in jjs and it got dissolved in the jjs

+jeffrey south Hey Jeffrey - Yes, I have. Osprey is a very well established swimbait company, but I have never used any of them. I've recently gotten into the 3:16 lures Rising Son which is very similar and I'm really impressed by it.

+Jerry Whatley On this particular lure Jerry (the 8" Huddleston) I will average one solid bite a day. Operative word there is "average". There are many days where I get zero, and there are days I get two or three bites. Averaged out over the year its around a bite per outing. Again, thats on this lure. Other lures have very different averages depending on the size of the lure and the action. I find the 8" Hudd to be a very low numbers lure, but averages considerably larger fish than any of my other lures.

ROF 0's are tricky. Mine always fished as a super slow sink. They are so much more susceptible to being 'off'. The tiniest change in weight, or placement of it in manufacturing can/will cause a slight sink or as yours is doing rolling on its side. I know of no fix for it. You can try to counterbalance it with the lightest nail weight(s) you can find, but in correcting the posture you will likely make it a very slow sink.

@@KeepinItReelFishing thank you! I really appreciate the reply ! Heading out to my local lake to try adding some weight :)

+Shawn “Uncle Dukes Kayak Fishing” Barham Hey Shawn - No...not better, but certainly different. The Huddleston goes for minimal motion (just the tail swag) vs the whole body serpentine swim of the Savage Gears. You can do some things with a Hudd that you can't do well with the Savage....namely SLOWLY crawling it on the bottom. You may have seen video's on this or heard about it, but going crazy slow dragging a Hudd is a ong provem technique for cold water bass or just bass holding very deep. The Savage excels at inspiring warmer water fish to strike due to its intense action...something the Hudd just can't do. Both will certainly work in varied conditions, but they are very different and excel in the above mentioned respects.

+KeepinItReelFishing great detailed information. Thanks for sharing your experience.

+King Kong Your welcome....anytime.

Josh Kroll how can you tell what the numbers on the tail mean? I have a 6inch hud and the tail has a 5 on top and a 12 on bottom..?

Chris Rodgers my 68 also has 5 and 12 and I was wondering what those numbers meant as well

+moneyman89065 Not yet....but a few have sustained some serious slashes throughout the plastic.

Kyle Panko just put them in a pool or something and count how fast they fall. or weigh them, since the different ROF's are different weights.

Look on back of tail, very back.

+havanger chakotae Someone else mentioned that and yes....I think that's a great idea. I hadn't considered it prior to this "branding" technique.

Eddie Etheridge order them...

+FShaeffer Working on it man. My first few outings haven't produced either numbers (on the "traditional" sized lures), or a big fish (on the big swimbaits). I have a bunch of product review vid's I'm working on, and any good days or high quality fish I will certainly be sharing. Thanks for watching!

+draconical77 HA ha....yup, that's Patchy and he sneezes quite a bit.

+RedsBaller No 10" for me man. The strikes are few and far between enough with the 8"!
