The tango prop got a test run this afternoon. Just as I suspected it's a bang'em lure. I popped about a dozen bass. Most were small but I did lose one that was fat and surprisingly wimpy probably at 4lbs and caught a double with one at 3 lbs and one at 2lbs. That was fun.
But then "it" happened. I caught my biggest bass in over a decade. No boga with me but it was a chunk and my best guess is right at 7lbs. A dandy. Then I cast out and caught a smaller feisty one which I got careless with and ended up with a hook in my index finger. Bummer. Fortunately the fish behaved and I was able to remove the fish without damage to the finger.
I biked the 6 miles back to the truck. When I arrived home I crimped the barb down and slid the hook out. If I would of had my pliers on me plus the boga and a camera all would of been perfect. Oh well, live and learn.... (seems like I'm doing a lot of that lately, hmmmmm
).
Needless to say I am hooked
on the tango prop. Neat lure. The counter rotating blades cause the lure to flash sideways and then wobble back and forth a bit when it re-settles. I think the smaller size with the addition of a blood red feathered hook on the rear would be killer deluxe for big smallys in canoe country.
I like a bit of red so a red treble with white feathers would be ideal.

I understand its an expensive lure, but releasing another 5 lb pig while your buddy is watching is, as they say, priceless
