LMAO, Craig. I second your last pic x1000.

Napolean Dynamite - you're just going to have to accept the fact that there's not many people out there as cool and hardcore as you, and just STFU and move along.

Nah, nobody is pissed off. It's just like the annoying clown in school. Nobody hates him, it just gets old.

I'm lost.  Who dafuq is Napolean D?  I figure in my absence, one of two things has happened.  Someone I don't know is nicknamed ND, or this place has gone PFIC and started deleting "unfavorable" posts.  Hope its the former.

On topic,  I've always liked the baitfish pattern, or the sexy shad knockoff in the bay.  No real preference for rockfish, but I do tend to favor contrasting patterns (green body/orange tail).

After being lukewarm about the BHs for awhile I would have to say that they are a great swimbait. Fished the 5" in a rainbow trout pattern as well as a brown backed one w/ an orange belly in the T2B tourney today for a 3rd place finish and top hook and line angler. The swimbaits were very durable and I was fishing straight braid so I was ripping them around quite a bit and they stayed on the hook well. Although I still love the 7" FT the smaller BHs have earned a permanent spot in my tackle box.

Rarely do posts disappear....Napolean made his online presence known to the world in this thread. Read it all.....according to Eric B, it's gold.

I like the Big Hammers. I used to be a Fishtrap guy, but I think the Big Hammers are a more durable bait.

As for colors, I like to have some dark, some white, some in betweens. :smt044 Bleeding chovy has always been a good one.
