Is there a place we are specifically talking about the V2 Workhorse or is it just here in the club thread? I can say in short… I don’t feel like it needs anything else. These few small changes that were made were substantial in their impact. It feels very refined now.

Post it here Sir!
Amazing how much of a difference the small tweaks made!

It is amazing how so little can make such a change. Of course I tried a 4mm bearing in it and that works great. I didn’t trim the post any. It still won’t play with a dry bearing but a 4mm lubed bearing removes all semi responsive nature and gives nearly instant response, but still does Brain twister and Matrix with no snagging. It’s possible that trimming the posts a hair “might” squeeze together a little tighter for using a dry bearing but honestly it plays incredibly with a lubed 4mm as is, and it plays great with a 5mm lubed bearing as well.

I wasn’t able to throw mine until 1 July was over. I find it very comfortable in the hand. It seems easy to correct user errors with it. It seems well balanced between floaty and weighty. I like it better than the Rain City Skills Gamer, of which I had two new to me ones to throw when 1 July ended. I say this not because of any loyalty to Jake. I really do love the way it feels and responds to me, at least.

Which lube did you use in the 4mm?
I tend to start with lite lube on my 4mm.
I have been testing Tough Glide, Dry Lube. Goes in and when wet is unresponsive. But after it dries, there is some nice response.

I had bought a 10 pack of bearings and it’s whatever they were lubed with. If I end up cleaning these and using my own lubricant. I’ll put a few dabs of black moly grease on one side of the bearing and then a few drops of thick lube to spread the grease.

They look real nice, are you using pourable silicone for mold making or hardware store sealant?
Plastisol! I’m playing around with it to see how viable it is. So far these are pretty damn playable!

Had to look up Plastisol, then it turned out I had some gummy weights in the tackle box. Gross but awesome at the same time

Yup! you can actually remelt those suckers.
I got a sample block from a buddy of mine, but I’m going to buy lure scraps to upcycle in the future!
There’s a powder I can add to make them a bit firmer, but I kind of like how they feel “stock”
EDIT: So far I’ve found that I need to have a bead to hold them on. Almost any knot will eventually work it’s way out of them
