    I was just curious as to what kind of line and rig you were using the crick-hopper with? I have one and those are super light and was kinda a pain to toss for me.

    What kind of light tackle do you use to cast the crickhopper? I have one myself and I've tried tossing it out, but it's so light I can get it to where I want it. I thought about adding a tiny weight to it, but I figure that would throw off the really nice waddle of the lure. Any suggestions?

    I use a light action rod with 6lb line...I still give it a firm snap when casting....you're not going to be able to get a 100ft cast or nothing like when using a heavy bass lure but I can get maybe 30-40ft.....
