Title: 2oz darter
Post by: Out Fishing on June 29, 2012, 08:37:18 PM

 Theses here darters ive only really started to use the black one got and after a few casts i could feel it bouncing of the bottom , I gave it a sug to get it to dive then used a slow retrieve as i was`nt sure on the depth of water in front of me and how deep the  2oz darter will go ,

well what ive found is the bottom lip has got slightly knocked up is this normal or do you normally form the darters over sandy beach , brilliant action it looked that good i could of eaten it my self  ;D,

will i have to reshape the nose/lip or just leave it as is

that's always been a drawback on darters Mark. Yea if you got rocky bottom then it's going to get beaten. That's hardwood too.

ah say salt...lets refraze that question.........mark how long dose it take you to hit bottom when you drop off.........and you wounder why your darter  has a busted lip........good looking bass water tho.....that cliff could ground down a good pair of korkers......................nice pics mark
