UH !!!!Listening to the anglers on Bass Resource-would be my first guess LOL- Ok then- They dont spend enough time on the water- They think that they are just going to bang fish every time they go fishing-thats not going to happen-second -staying with the same bait over and over for long periods of time -meaning they think that the fish are just not biting or they are in the wrong location-Keep changing baits and techniques- If you keep using the same bait and technique you will have the same results-now that could be good or bad- If you are catching them ,thats a good thing if not change it up. Let the fish tell you how and what they want- Learn different techniques-REMEMBER REPITITION IS THE FORMULA FOR SKILL

HAVE them now

BS -The fish striking a bait for a particular reason is not the fault of the angler-I have used baits of every description catching different species. The crap that he had said about that bait being "species specific" is a crock-Small bait fish imitation is the way of the food chain. I have known Game Wardens-their tactics, as well as every phase of law enforcement- They pull you over -act like they are your best friend or buddy-then stick it to ya. ITS A TACTIC- Are they doing their job-yes-but to say that the bait is species specific- and possibly fine you for it- Thats a crock- They should have a document or sign before you enter the lake SPECIFYING THAT A TROUT STAMP IS MANDITORY- Tackle companies should put "Multi-Species on the package

Our fearless learer Gleen blocked it- Cant get it either

Shortbasser-Jim is actually the first angler in the country to get them (1/8th oz Pro Model)- Let us know what ya think

It all depends on what mood the fish are in--aggressive /passive/lethargic-protective. Its all a puzzle -Bait companies give you the pieces-you put it together- In some instances the pieces may overlap- That could be a good thing-result-a strike

Gotta try the new pro Model Shak-E2 Nothing better-Just came out with the 1/8th oz on Monday

Funny you should say that- I just developed a panfish shak-e2 with a 2/o hook

HELLO????

Keep it simple just kick em in the nutz-

I never thought that I could get the dynamics right but it is now complete and available. The New 1/8th oz Pro Model Shak-E2 Head. I even got a big 4/0 Mustad Ultra Point Hook on it. These things rock.Will have a picture up in the morning.

What the !! I Thought I had too much time LOL

UHHHH!!!! -Yes I do- Is that a loaded question Dan

Fluorocarbon line has its pros and cons - for refractive qualities and low stretch it was thought to be the future "super line" . It is not as abrasion resistant as good mono. I have lost my share of fish on fluoro.I know all about drg/softer tipped rods ect it just isnt as impact or abrasion resistant. It is designed for super clear water. I think if the water is off color/stained or muddy-it dosent matter. MY opinion only-Oh yeah it costs to freakn much also

I have crimped rivots and used them so much that they wore out both the blade and the rivot themselves. I soak the blades in an acid to give it a very unique abrasive sound. I have also scuffed the buzzbait wire arm for the same result.As for the tests of two anglers in the boat-It is hard to say. What happens if the next 3 days the guy with no clacker catches more fiish-IT all depends on the conditions. NOW there might be a case for water clarity/barometric pressure/light or low light conditions-the parameters are to great to make absolute positive conclusions. I let the fish tell me how they want it.If I thought it made that much of a difference Cavitron would have a clacker version.

In the world of wild fish -there is no what they call control.You cant monitor the fish -there are to many variables and conditions. You can throw a non clacker buzzbait near a fish ten times and throw a clacker type buzzbait the eleventh,The bass hits the clacker buzz bait. What does that say-did it strike it because it had the clacker or for some other reason like a different subtlety or visual profile quality. We will never know. The only one that knows is the bass.All I wanted to state was there was no way to prove a clacker produces on a consistent basis more strikes than a non clacker buzz bait. If you caught a bass on a clacker buzzbait how can you tell if you didn't have forty bass pass it up because it did have the clacker.. That's what I meant about there is no "control" BUT BUT BUT what I have done over the years is learn how to manipulate the action of a buzzbait which I believe can make a non striking bass or non aggressive bass hit a bait. Such an example is the pause and twitch. What I believe this does is gets the fishes attention+possibly make the bass believe that the bait is injured -also to make the bass react to the bait like another bass hit it and missed it. Out of gluttony and being opportunistic-they strike the bait. I reel the bait and every few feet I would just twitch my rod tip creating a popping erratic action.Kinda like a cat and a piece of string-ya have to manipulate it and they will attack it.

EXACTLY SPEED- Thats what I was trying to state-There is no way to prove that a fish hits a bait because it has a clacker on it. COULD IT provoke a strike because of it being a little more obnoxious- Yes I believe so- but it could also deter a strike for the same reason. What I was stating was there is no way to prove it. Use what you have confidence in.

Watch and learn my friend. I have been in the front and back of the boat and spent more time on the water than most professional anglers. This is what I do for a living -how bout you????? You cannot prove that a fish is hitting that bait because it has a clacker over one that dosent. Tell or prove to me how you can back that statement. I have heard your comments for a while now -anise oil theories ect- PROVE YOUR FINDINGS WTH FACTUAL DATA.

I can say in all of my years of buzzbait fishing -there is no absolute proof that a clacker produces more strikes than ones without clackers. Im sure that clackers can even be a deterant at times.Sometimes they want it subtle sometimes not-I believe that that can be changed with the size of the blade to displace water plus or minus. In fact there is no way to prove it. There are too many variables and conditions to ever conclude this test.Again I state that there are no absolutes when working with wild creatures or specimens.Use what you have confidence in.

Gotta watch the video Im making. Freakn hilarious.

Like I said its something that you have to actually hold and see yourself. It is a little hard to distinguish it just by itself. senko-I dont think they were attacking me-my products speak for themselves. It was just something that they havent held or seen up close . It will have a time and place to use. Actually peak time I believe is summer time. As for this and LT. Dan. I believe he has made his peace with God.
