Where to buy lead nail weights within the GTA? does BPS carry them?


Dollarama has a Storm Chug Bug clone. Worth?

So, I went to my local Dollarama today, and I saw one of the employees putting fishing lures onto the shelf. I waited till he was done, and went to check it out.

 

I found a Chug Bug, $1.25

Heres a quick comparison to 2 real Storm Chug Bugs. Bit sloppy paint job around the eye and mouth, but who cares as long as the bottom and sides looks clean.

Oh, and they sell Stren line. Iv used Stren Original for years, great line, and this is supposedly a more abrasion resistant version of the original. Available in 6lb and 20lb(in my local store), 330yd, $3.

Study: Stress on bass during angling

Interesting read.

 

 

TL;DR:

 

Duration of fight have very little effect, as long its under/around 2 min. 

The harder the bass fights, more it stresses.

Low water temp = more stress, high water temp = more stress.

Horsing a bass stresses it out more (ie, most heavy cover fishing).
