No, those are crazy fish a/o leather jackets, and they will shred your hands quickly. And it will hurt like $$^$^$*@*!^%!#~!

BTW, Spanish Sardines are edible, grilled sardines are very popular all around the world, except in the US!

I do also like the Basspro brand crankbaits. Academy also have some less expensive models that wont make you cuss quite so much when you get cutoff.

Bomber makes the wind cheater now. Both are Pradco brands.

I picked up a couple of shimano coltsnipers. Good looking jerkbait. Reminds me of the yozuri but with a movable internal weight that bumps them up to 1.13 oz and more. Haven't tried them on kings yet, but they cast a mile and run pretty. Folks to the east brag on them big time. I like the size 10 xraps for spanish -- kings hit them too. Just downsize to a 7.5 foot medium action with 10# braid, powerpro super slick is great, and you can throw the 10's a long way unless the wind is really howling out of the south. In which case, its time to be throwing a cig anyway.

Man I love yozuri stuff. Wish it weren’t so expensive.

I had a box full for X-Raps, Yozuri's, Sabille's and Lucky's.....no WAY I would throw them with all the tax men lurking 'round.

I averaged losing 8 (EIGHT) treble rigs per day for the 2 of us for 10 days. Imagine if that was $15/each.

Just Sayin'.

I bought a couple of the Windcheaters in the 7/8 oz size. They do not retrieve all that great off a pier. They will work but not nearly as good as a XRap. I think there is a larger size Windcheater that would probably be better.

I put the small stick-on lead weights on a lot of my smaller crankbaits to get them to dive a little deeper and cast a little farther.
