NEW TO FORUM & MWL

love the lures and like the fish......im hooked!!!!!


just today i got this guy and brought my tagging kit


ive been running a $9 7ft daiwa pole & a even cheesier daiwa sweepfire reel.....my lure is the most valuable of my setup...lol..n maybe the 12# maxima is worth something...i do a pretty quick retrieve so as to pop up once in a while but not skipping the surface. the first omilu was about 2-2.5 lbs the second 2lbs max. both were released but only the one was tagged. oh and both were caught on the 1/4 oz white mw. i got another omilu exactly weighed 2.5lbs (weighed him on a food scale so you know where hes at) on the pink 1/4oz mw. i was wondering is that the size limit on the 1/4 oz? and after losing my pink mw ive been hunting for another and no such luck...anyone else have that one?? thanx and more to come.

Nice work ktownwhipper! Welcome to the forum!! Thanks for the info. As far as a limit on the 1/4 oz., I think there's been some 5 lbers. There have been some beasts that that have run away with them. As far as replacing the pink, I have them in stock so you can always order online. Below FisherGirls Kagami on 1/4 oz.

thanx mark....well i guess 2lb is not the limit for a 1/4 oz.... i was so excited to try my mw the first time out i just tied off straight to the lure but i notice thats not how you do it.....is the way im doing it wrong?? and i was also wondering your opinion on time of day. being a diver i know morning is best for hungry fish but i can only 9/10 times make it from noon till dark...is this still a good time to whip?? and whats with the black on cloudy and white on sunny theory? thanx

I tie direct 4-6lb mono for the 1/4 and 1/8th oz. It is more risky and or sporting, depending on your attitude. I believe you will get more hookups. On bigger rigs I kike leader with a Macmahon snap swivel. The Swivel give the lure more action that tying straight to the lure with a knot. As for time of day, a.m. is always better for me, but I go at anytime to test theories. As for cloudy vs sunny, all lures look dark in silhouette. Blavk is good and I sell the most of the white/blk eyes. Keep up the good work! m

Thanx mark....ya i want to try those swivels but need to buckle down and order i guess...i wish i could just go get some here.i been pounding um hard...ive gone 4 days in a row and caught 1 each day with exception of yesterday...i think because i went to hilo and rained the whole time.today was my bggest and first on the red 1/2oz mw...thanx so much and cant wait to buy all the colors in all the sizes... SHHHH DONT TELL MY WIFE...LOL

Just say that you bought them as Christmas presents.
After all, why not get yourself the present that you wanted?


Have a good day,
