Went by OEX Sunset today...
Oh, while in the HB area, I drove over to a tackle shop called "Charkbait." I'd heard it talked about but I'm rarely in the area so I thought I'd stop by. Cool shop with a lot to look at and the guys were great. Lots of options in Hammer SB's and they have a local company called "Mutant Tackle" that makes awesome inshore jigs. Again, really nice and helpful guys that were a pleasure to do business with. Good heavens I love this SoCal fishing scene... Happy Friday everyone! |

I use Mutant Tackle swimbaits in 5" quite often and really like them; They're worth a look if you like paddle-tails. I like the weedless leadheads a bunch too, but haven't tried their jigs yet.

Better check those swimbaits to make sure they are not BLEMs.

Hahaha, everything, all the time...... Awesome stuff, Andy. Thanks again for answering my questions and being patient with me. I got your email and will respond back today. I think we are a go, just less the paddle (I'll just pick that up separately when I get the boat.) Thanks again for the excellent service.....! |

The plastic used seems to be a little firmer than that used by big hammer. Is that good or bad? Not sure, but they're pretty durable and they hold onto the leadheads well.

I might check them out just for the variety. All I have right now are Big Hammers and some other brand that's similar but a bit of a thicker profile. Thanks for the info! |
