Flipping/punching baits

[Roy123]

I too buy most of my tungsten from tackle warehouse. The strike kings are fine and are sold at academy too. Don't forget your bobber stops. I don't know how I fished for years without them. Those are not sold at academy. As far as baits I am a zoom guy usually. I like the rage craw but I find the flippers get ripped off. For zoom I have had success with the speed crawls, and lately the new z hawg. I was having some issues with line twist on my 20lb floro with the z hawgs but I'm not sure if it was the straight shank hook not sitting right or the coiled up line (sea gar red label). Gonna switch to the new sun line pitching or sea gar pitching floor once I'm out. I honestly have had good success with 20lb floro. I don't see much need to go heavier unless Im fishing braid in the jungle, in which case I usually go 50lb. Might try the 65lb but again I have no line breakage with either.
