DC-10's

Anyone been moving any fish on the DC's yet??

The double 10's wear me out. I've become a fan of the double 8's and had some success moving fish this year on a chart jr cowgirl.

They are definitely tough to throw. I have made it a point to run them quite a bit so far this year. I have not even had a follow on them yet but I am starting to get Popeye forearms!! LOL

If you guys are using the right equipment, the DC 10's really aren't that bad to cast.

The casting is not the problem for most guys, it is the retrieve that can kill. The Sling Blade really helps with distance and accuracy...... pointing the rod tip directly at the bait can lessen the pounding on the 'ole elbow.

On the Niagara River I have had good luck on DC-10's in slack water areas where you can burn them fast.But in heavy current areas when you crank them fast they end up on top the water. The current areas I use one of Vince Bianchi's Spinner Shop "Stud Dog's",not double bladed,but has size and weight to get a little depth in current,heavy wire construction and very easy to retrieve fast as well.I have caught more fish on Stud Dogs in faster water then DC-10's and they are cheaper in cost.

John Routt of Muskie Custom Baits makes a heck of an inline spinner as well.....very durable and priced right.

You got that right Red. I have no problem casting them, its the retrieve that makes it fun. I do try to keep the rod pointed directly at them also and it helps. Funny part is that on a calm day, I can move the front of my boat around by casting those things a certain direction. Between throwin the 10's, twitchin cranks and running the gliders, I have been getting quite the workout during my outings!!
