Have you seen these?

Post by Gotcha » Fri Jun 06, 2008 1:54 pm

Have any of you guys seen or ever used these things?

It looks pretty interesting. If I weren't leaving the states for the next six months I think I'd pick some up now.

those look pretty cool although I would imagine they probably only work at a fast speed which is kinda a bummer since I have not known the bass around here to be super aggressive. I would be curious to see how they work with a long marabou fly it could create a snakelike action.

On the site, if you look under the "Rigging Tips" tab it shows you how it works at slow speeds in the walleye page.

Those look pretty cool... a much better deal than this swimbait I just found. Seriously, I wouldn't fork over $80 for a single lure if I was Bill Gates. You need to draw the line somewhere.

I think the idea is sound. If you were to try it on a Carolina Rig and paint the weight orange or pink, it might look like a swimming egg sucking leech. Might even work for steelhead using a maribou or bunny leech if it can be worked slow enough.

I might be inclined to give it a try. The texas rig idea looked good, but the top water.... could scare the fish off instead of bringing them in!

I would but I'm being deployed at the end of the month so even if I were to get some I wouldn't have time to use them.

Gotcha,
By your location (Airway Heights i.e. Air Force) and you "deploying" at the end of the month. I can safely assume you are military? Air Force? If so, you take care of yourself. And come home soon. As I pray for all those serving abroad to do the same. Thank you sir(?) for your service. One vet to another, Godspeed.:salut: :thumright
