Question For Bill From Seminar

[jeb]

We walked in a couple of minutes late so maybe we missed it, but you held up what looked like a reel with a large lure or lure retriever on it and said something about you should have one of those if you're fishing these expensive baits. Was it a lure retriever and, if so, what one do you prefer to use?

[denjac]

Yes it was a lure retriever. Bill calls it a hound dog.

I had a question I forgot to ask at the end. Bill, one of the sticks u had was called a fint I believe. Who makes it and have u fished it much?

[Bill Babler]

Denny had it right, its called a hounddog. I like the lure retrievers with a small bit of a chain on them, it really seems to grab those hooks. What do you all think? I always put the line on a reel, if you don't, you can just about bet you will get a knot in it, when you need it most.

Jess, It is called a Flit. I am going to throw the paint off of it tomorrow. I got them at Tackle Warehouse. I believe they are 17 bucks and then I put a 12 dollar Norman Flake paint job on it, so you can do the math. I hope it works.

Phil, Bill Beck and I are going after Walleye on Upper Bull Shoals tomorrow, but we will throw the sticks in some bassie places.

Thanks all for the very nice comments, that is a hard subject. If you "Stick" with it, you will catch your biggest fish ever on Table Rock Lake.

Hope to see ya out there. I will be going out of K-Dock tomorrow a.m.

[Jason Essary]

LOL, nice pun Bill. Taking a buddy tomorrow on the rock, going to throw sticks and grubs around point 5 most of the day. He has never fished this way so should be interesting. I will post findings afterwards. Say Hi to Beck for me, u should get him on here some. Good luck guys.

Hey Jessary

I believe the Flit is made by a company called IMA, don't know what it stands for. It is a Japanese Company.

Yes you will, had a 9.11 at TR in I believe 1998 and RELEASED. I can still see that fish jump today.

Bill recommended the Daiichi "death trap" trebles in size 6.
