I called BossBaitandTackle in Vista today and inquired about the Big Hammers and they said yes we do carry them but no we don't have any in stock in any size or color. Wow! What a hot comodity! In the morning I'm going to ask the store manager Ken when they are going to get another shipment in. I will go down there on my lunch break from San Marcos where I work to make sure I get stocked up!
Check that drag! :)

Got my first rubber ling last weekend on a 'Hammer. They are a swimming beast. I'll be looking for some more at Day at the Docks this Sunday! :)

Well, actually, till last year I had never caught a ling at all (I don't bottom fish much). Lately I've been seeing more of them and have actually released a few shorts. Last weekend was my first on an artificial.
I'd also be interested in heavy (3-4 oz) fish type leadheads with a smaller hook. Seems all I can find in heavy heads are the round type with the huge cad plated hooks.

I have caught lings on just about everything in norcal, but by far the best results were with swimbaits. I started with a rainbow trout color and never needed to try any other color. With the swimbaits I caught lings in my usual spots and in spots that had failed me before.
I now would use nothing else but a BH swimbait for lings, but I would like to know what the best size and color(s) might be in socal waters, where I have not yet fished for lings.

Hi Leapin Bass
I purchased quite a few plastics today and was just wondering about the lead heads. From what people say is to go with a fish lead head. Do you recomend a long shank or short shank hook on the plastics.
Thanks

Thanks, Pete.
Do you have the BH # for these two colors, and what size would you recommend for lings? It's ok if you do not have a size recommendation because I presume that lings are not among the usual species that you target.
Thanks again.
Bob
