I personally enjoy my Top-Water,..Big Swims,..I also enjoy some Divers 2,..Cranks,..Rattle-Traps,..and let's not forget the Jointed-Raps,..absolutely love the Frogs! I especially like to be able to Countdown my Swims and keep them where the Bass are,..or speed my retrieve and keep them just under the top,..what's nice about the Swims is you can fish them at different depths,..just need 2 pick up MORE!

1. Buzzbaits at the butt-crack of dawn.
2. Twitching a Rapala around heavy timber.
3. I've just started using crankbaits a lot more and they're a lot of fun.
4. Watching Bill Dance and annoying my wife because everytime he gets ready to give a tip, I say it before he does. She asks me "Why do you even watch this if you already know everything!!" LOL

Dropshot.

Funny, I had the same discussion with a well respected bass fisherman the other day. We pretty much agreed to this" What ever is catching the bass".

The dropshot is my confidence bait for Lake Washington and Sammamish, but I have six other rigs with different lures for what ever feels right out there.

So far with me it has been the 4" & 5" Senko ... usually wacky rigged. I have gotten some jigs and crank baits so that I can try out different methods and different ways to bring in that bass.
'course they don't have biscuits and gravy ... but if they did, I bet everyone would eat there.

I love throwing plastics. Worms, senkos, grubs, lizards, craws, shad, and creatures. Had luck lately with Yum croaker curltails chart. and silver. But biggest fish came on 5'' yamamoto grub smoke w/black flake on 3/8oz chart. jig head, 5lb SM.

we are just taking care of a few loose ends and we will be pretty much 'good to go' [ that was brought to you by taco bell ].

we have completed our testing phase and we are now polishing up a few misc items. they will be available for puchase in bulk, so if you are interested please contact me, as we already have a waiting list.

we have already set our sights on new goals, and are in the midst of aquiring those items for the new project. lol - we have given sonnn the majority of the grunt work for now. i will be taking care of making these items available to the masses.

PM me, and i will send you my email.
