Any idea if this will work? Weighs an ounce and moves around a lot (can probably snag itself) but I haven’t caught anything yet but I’m hoping for some blues, spanish Mack,or even some trout.

Was bored and was inspired by coin lures online and decided to try to make my own lure. It weighs roughly an ounce and I intend to use it when surf fishing. Can probably catch some spanish Mack or some spotted trout. Any thoughts?

Just got a new Penn battalion II 9ft medium for my self and everything was fine but the reel seat wasn’t aligned properly, as you can see from these photos (which aren’t the best I know), I bought this rod in store and I have a two year warranty for it. Should I go back to the store and replace it (pretty sure they only had the one in stock). Or keep using it if the angle isn’t that harsh

Is this normal? Bought it online and has holes around the lure where the exposed wire is. Since it’s a wire through can it be that? Will the water inside affect the action?

When I was out at the surf (first time trying lures) I was tossing a 1 oz yozuri inshore twitch bait at 4 3/8inch, I was catching some fish with it like a spanish Mack and some spotted trout, the 1 oz worked fine but I felt that it was a little lacking and so I decided to buy the hydro 6 inch twitch bait since it was a little heavier and I could cast out more. However, I worry that the 6 inch lure might be a little big and I’ll have a harder time catching more fish. Should the 6inch still be fine, and catch the same fish?
