I'm not sure what is going on with the sucker supply up here. I think it's just a poor distribution thing more than anything. I don't know what will happen the rest of the year. We'll see.

Paul, I have been letting the suckers free swim with a couple rubbercore weights attached to the leader. The 10-12 inch suckers are probably a little small but if that's all you can get then by all means use them.

Jon, the rod is an 8'6" extra heavy Thorne Brothers Legend Tournament rod. The reel was a Shimano Curado 300 with 80# Cortland Masterbraid. Not the normal client rod and reel when you check out the price of the setup but for you Jon...............anything.
