Hmmm...I didn't get a free sample but I must confess that I did buy a package or two of the Larew....I couldn't help myself....it just kinda happened.....they were just hanging around at the Cabela's - I was a little bored....next thing you know I was squishing the package...it felt so strange.....and it went south from there.

Before I knew it we are alone by the lake and it just popped out of the package.....on to the hook it went....well, we were already past the point of no return so I went for it. It was really disappointing and in the end the Larews really meant nothing to me (mostly they didn't get one bite!!! and they fell apart literally!!)

Changed back to the Z....cast in the same area.....BAM - fish on!

Yeah I learned my lesson   Dave's head in the front and a Z on the back is the blueprint for fish catching!

Why screw around with something that works. Anything else is just a grub on a jig head. Just got back from Canada fishing the Berens River system in Northern Manitoba for walleye. We started with the usual 3/8 & 1/2 Oz. Jig heads with twister tails. After the first day, I switched to the Ned on Dave's heads and we killed em. They out fished the other 10 to 1. 3 of us bagged over 700 walleye in a week, most on the Ned. Not to worry, only ate a few while we were up there, the rest are still swimm'in. I would say that's proof in the pudding.

I like the new Zman drop shot boat and the new smaller Menace.

I see in Dave's future a bunch of orders coming in from the Great White North.

Lot of folks take them up.  Dynamite on lake trout too. Don't overlook the pearl Zinkerz or Shadz up north.

Dave, Another thing that I noticed is that your heads/ hooks don't rust....I created a  Babler advanced survival source integrated Ned survival kit (BASSiN) per the post and in the box with the moisture strips mind you the Non Dave heads rusted - kinda weird 

And I did fish them today......Bass and Crappie were the takers.....a lot of fun!!!

Dave, pearl was the color for the eyes!

Just got back from a fly in fish camp in NW Ontario. fished Dave's rigs for walleye and smallies and caught enough to make your arms sore, mostly green pumpkin, watermelon red and dirt. Thanks Dave !!!

True. Most overpriced company around. Cheers to them for creating a status symbol.
