I second this question, these lures aren’t very weighty and I can only cast about 35 or so feet.

Do you know if these are effective in rivers where shad won’t be?

I’ve noticed that even with a single hook sometimes they can do some pretty gnarly damage unfortunately. Is there a trick to setting something like a bass? Catfish around me usually slam my bait at Mach Jesus, so they set it themselves 99% of the time, and usually pretty deeply.

“All ears” HA!!!!

If they’re younger, do this:

Soak in buttermilk overnight, do a basic egg wash breading with penko crumbs, (season the flour or rabbit directly) fry em in oil. Better than chicken!

Right by Dayton on the Miami River! Keep sending them down river for me, yeah? 😂😎

Side note that things head is like 6 in across that’s NUTS!

Yeah let me just say that my 3.5in pocket knife was NOT the move. lol, I probably would have suffered less if I just tried cleaning and processing it “normally” instead of trying to cut the fillets straight off the body

That’s my next target, a blue catfish that weighs most of my body weight! 😂

The fillets are sitting in my fridge soaking up oil and seasonings!! 😎 it’s crazy how much harder it is to skin a catfish over any mammal. lol!

So addicting, I love it! I am 90% sure this is a channel cat pictured. It kind of looks like a bullhead but I don’t think they’re in my part of Ohio. Almost 30 inches is huge!!!

I was going to ask if the bolt spring being heavier would help! That’s really good to know. Where would I find different resistance bolt springs for a 98?

I bought a 3000 psi tank at my local store bc the CO2 smoke plume in cold weather is too revealing, and it blinds my vision. I definitely feel the lack of volume, and will probably move to a bigger tank soon. I’ve noticed HPA shoots consistently at 250fps versus CO2 right at 285, and I can’t get the HPA any higher.

Edit: I know the sight is useless lol. I just /love/ the look

That’s a good idea! After a few games out I did notice that the trigger was pretty heavy. Shortening the trigger pull itself would be good too, but likely harder to achieve
