It's pretty hard to lose Bo's Jigs. You have to really try or not know what you are doing with a jig. Only time I've seen one lost is when someone in the back of the boat (brother) Hammer of Thor'd a hook set right into a cedar. Only NuTech that hasn't made is back to the boat before.

I don't think anyone has a problem here with Bo pimping his gear. He's local, makes a great product and is an actual contributor to the forum with his fishing reports and overall sharing of fishing knowledge.

I agree. But I just had to have this.

It's not your every day bait (unless you live in California or are a die hard swimbait chucker) but I really want to start throwing swimbaits more and more targeting bigger fish. This bait is that tool and for it's size, SUPER realistic look and quality that usually comes from Jackall at 39.99 seems like a steal considering prices of other swimbaits. Probably why it's selling so well. $40 is somewhat "affordable" all things considered but this is the most expensive single bait I've ever purchased.

Also the bait monkey got me last night. Picked up a Jackall Gantarel after fighting myself for about a week. They are flying off the shelves and the RT Gill color that I wanted is out of stock at TW until JULY 2nd! So I had to go to Ebay. I am such a sucker.

Very true. That video gives me reason to believe that they will just because it seems like a really soft plastic when Elias has it in his hand and it lays pretty limp. I like the idea of cutting a slit down the back on my current super flukes to see if you could get a similar action.

Quill, I figure you probably owe me about $200 with your posts of the newest latest and greatest. So hard to fight the urge. Seriously though that thing is impressive. From the video it truly has some of the best action I've ever seen from a soft plastic jerk bait.

The 3" smoke swimming minnow will catch anything that swims. It's the only bait I use for crappie anymore and there have been days where I have gotten quite a few bonus bass while after the paper mouths. One windy day in Brushy Creek as we were leaving our crappie spot we fished our way to towards the mouth of the creek beating the bank and out to about 12 feet and slayed 10-15 inch Kentucky's on the swimmin' minnow. 15" Spots on a small ultra light gear is about as fun as it gets.

They look like mice on meth to me. LOL.

He can sleep with mine if he gives me one of his Stores plus a new Z21. Just to let him know though she is a bed hog.

The only problem I have with getting blanks or custom painting stock baits is the temperamental weight of the bait when it comes to jerks. Paint/clearcoat can add a lot of weight to bait and when just fractions of ounces affect buoyancy it can cause a jerk bait to either sink like a rock or not suspend exactly how you want it. You can add suspend strips/dots of course or add weight somehow to get it to slightly sink or remain suspended but if a bait is too heavy you can't really make it float (other than using lighter components, thinner wire hooks, split rings, etc). I bought some knock off Lucky Craft Pointer 100 SP blanks from Predator Bass Baits years back and had them custom painted and they sunk a rapid pace (think Rapala countdown). Were more hassle than they were worth.

It's the Walmart business model.

Cheating on the McSticks Alex? The SPRO God's will not like this.

Speak of the devil. Mine are supposed to be delivered by the mail man TODAY. Got just a handful of the 3 ghost or "phantom" colors (Blue Green Phantom Craw, PBJ Phantom Craw and Brown Orange Phantom Craw). Not sure if I should fish them or keep them in a safe for 30 years when the Post Rapala Pre Pure Fishing Strike King craze hits and they fund my retirement in 2045.

Not a lefty but would be interested to hear why you are selling this. PM me if you don't want to disclose why you don't like it that much. I've heard nothing but good things about this reel and would like some input for someone who has used it. Might be interested in getting one down the road. Thanks, Brett

Ebay is your friend. I just fooled around on Ebay last night looking at components to make underspins/road runner/etc. and if you didn't get fancy with special molds, ball bearing swivels, willow blades, etc and stuck with just the basics you could be making these for personal use for about $1.50 each depending on quantities.

Bill, http://www.mshp.dps.mo.gov/WP04Web/app/searchRegattaWeb?action=Search+Again Just click the body of water and dates and it will show all tournaments scheduled with permits and their launch site.

With as cold as its been for the majority of Feb (especially last 2 weeks) I would imagine it's gonna be right at 40 or a tic lower. Just a guess though. KVD says water temp is overrated anyways Alex. If you have the chance to go...GO.

What's the drop rate of a Ned jig vs a groundhog hair Ned jig? To be honest I was surprised you didn't "unleash the beast" at the Classic expo. Missed a golden opportunity if you ask me. Coulda been the difference in winning or losing for Rojas had he been loaded to the hilt with special rodent tied Neds. Probably would have banned them for the upcoming event at the Sabine River they were so unfair to fish. Would have made the A-Rig look like using a shoelace to catch fish. Could have been an instant millionaire and sitting court side with Coach K giving him inbound play pointers on the dry erase board. But noooooooooooooo. You let me down Dave. You let us all down.

If your name is Red, it's pretty much a lock that you are a character. I know 3 people that go by Red....every last one of them is a riot in their own right.

I have no idea the cost of a build on a lure and just through out some #'s. I just know that contraption of a bait isn't going to get my $ for 8.99. Most I would pay for that reconfigured upside down spinnerbait is about $3.

I for one think G-Man is HILARIOUS. Maybe when he was a little younger he could have been a jerk but I think he is a good guy.

Duckett's are CRAZY light. I remember the first time I held one at Bass Pro about 5 years ago or whenever they first came out and that was the very first thing I noticed. THEY ARE SO LIGHT WEIGHT. 2nd thing I noticed was how unbelievably comfortable it felt in your hand.

Hahahahaha.

I've been wanting to use under spins as well. Almost bought some last time I ordered at TW back during their Black Friday sale but I took them out of my cart at the last second when the good tackle angel on my shoulder for a split second trumped the evil devil angel on my other shoulder. I really want to get some of these: But at 8.99 a piece I'll pass. Anyone that can make what is in the above pic for an affordable price around 2-3 bucks (doesn't have to be painted or have eyes) I would be happy to purchase some off you.
