A warning to those buying the heavier weight lures, make sure you invest in the swivel ring. I noticed the lighter lures did come with a split ring. This resulted in the loss of the lure after a hour or two of fishing. Great value, and the smaller models work well for pan fish!Ĭomments: I purchased a Kastmaster 1 OZ chrome to pair with a Super Fluke to fish heavy grass/cover, worked great but I noticed that the heavier lure did not come with a split ring on the line tying end of the lure. They work well for schooling fish, but I suggest switching out the treble for a higher quality, sharper hook. My only issue is snapping them of on a cast and snagging them on a log or in a tree.Ĭomments: I have several of these lures, in various weights. I think the flash and erratic swimming motion just drives fish nuts, not to me to mention the versatility of the lure as it casts easy even into the wind. I've got about every color and size kastmaster there is, I love these things.Ĭomments: I have 6 or 7 kastmasters in different colors and sizes. Since then I've figured out the proper colors and presentation and have been catching 5+ pound trout nearly every trip to that lake with these lures. After thousands of casts and countless miles of trolling with every lure imaginable I finally tried a kastmaster and hooked up to my first lahonton. The barrel swivel won't affect the lure's performance.Ĭomments: There's a small lake in Washington that is full of monster lahonton cut throat trout. Install a small #7 or #8 barrel swivel to the split ring to reduce line twist. Simple, effective, and easy to throw on bait casting and spinning equipment. I have caught black/white bass species and trout on these lures in cold water conditions when no other lure in my tackle would produce. NON-AUTHENTIC = The originality has been modified purposely to misrepresent authenticity (e.g., Crouch fitted with non-original handles etc Seamartin fitted with non-original drum (spool) etc a reel falsely stamped or marked to misrepresent its maker).Comments: I have owned these Kastmaster jigging spoons for probably 25+ years. POORLY RESTORED = Not rebuilt to original factory specifications (e.g plating removed and metal polished re-plating to non-original factory plating type shellac or varnish removed and repainted with 2 pac or staining type finish non- original handle knobs etc. parts, plating or wooden surface finish) Original reel’s integrity no longer intact. RESTORED = Rebuilt to original factory specifications (e.g. may be lacking minor components such as screws, nuts, bearing caps, etc.įAIR CONDITION = Heavy corrosion lacking major components e.g check mechanisms level wind handle knobs line guide etc. moderate corrosion small dents or scratches markings worn or illegible rough or excessively noisy gearing minor spool distortion worn bushes or bearings minor cracks in wooden or bakelite backs and/ or drums (spools). GOOD CONDITION = Below average used condition with obvious wear e.g. VERY GOOD CONDITION = Average used condition with reasonable wear relative to age of the reel all components intact and in sound mechanical order. NEAR MINT CONDITION = Exceptional condition with only minor indications of use.ĮXCELLENT CONDITION = Above average used condition no corrosion or pitting all markings clear plating or paintwork intact. MINT CONDITION = Never used and in the same ORIGINAL condition it left the factory. REELPEDIA® PROTOCOLS FOR EVALUATING FISHING REEL CONDITION.
