Is there any difference between flicker minnows pro and regular flicker minnows? They troll down on the same curve?
I'm assuming that you mean like this? Two broke in net, 1 at the side of boat. The last one was when the fish hit it, smacked it and shook its head for 2-3 seconds, then ABRACADABRA, just a bill. I sent an email to Pure Fishing/Berkley and never got a response. Surprise. :;:huh I my experience the Pro and the Standard, have both broke.
Yes JUST like that. But both just happened to be the pro's. Just coincidence I imagine, but certainly wasnt from abuse. I didnt bother with warranty lol Years ago Rapala used to take back all my beat up scratched ones if any part of the hook or bill broke.I'm assuming that you mean like this?

on a note, my experience with the depth charge for the #11's is wrong. To me they are the next depth level after # 9's. I found roughly 24-30'. I routinely hit bottom at 25' while using a #11 with 150' of line out.
I’m not sure what depth curve you’re looking at , but precision trolling shows 28-29’ at 150 with fireline. So what you’re seeing sounds about right.

I’ve broken very few bills on flicker minnows, and I’ve logged a lot of miles with them. I’m guess those that have had problems fatigued the bills at one point pounding bottom hard for a long period or pulling out of snags. I suppose it’s not out of the realm that they’ve produced a bad batch or two over the years.
