  1. Ya know I did ask him about the Rocket Fisherman" He said Bobby, it was designed to be a toy for kids to have fun with and get them to the lakes and outdoors. It is not a tournament grade anything. It was made for little kids to have fun with and catch sunfish and stuff. I said ya know thats a good enough answer for me
  2. I have known Roland Martin for years . He has been an idol for as long as I can rememer. Roland has always been nothing but a gentleman to me. When you get to know him he is actually one of the funniest guys you could hang out with. He is a big kid. He is actually 68 years old and acts like the guys you hang out with. He and his wife Judy actually invited my son ,my sister and myself down. I asked where would be a good hotel to stay. She said BS you are staying with us. She took my son and sister to all kinds of attractions -the beach-boat rides you name it. She is a wonderful lady and I love her to death.She treated us like family. Roland and I went and did the guy thing-shooting Fishing With Roland Martin- I had a blast. We were there for 4 days.When I went into the house it was like a museum.Im 46 and was like a kid. All of the trophies-Angler of the Year awards . hunting stuff. It was amazing - all of the people that knew Roland, sports celebs-Presidents you name it. I was there with the legend.Roland treated me like a king.I dont want to hear anything about oh you're a sponsor -you are paying him crap. This was the true Roland. I consider him a friend-he treated my 6year old son Eddie like a grandkid. It even blew me away. Ya know I mentioned he is 68 and looks great and in great shape -he was a pioneer with wealths of knowledge about the environment and sad to say the politics of our industry. I just wanted to let you know that it was one of the top highlights of my life and when people say things about him that could just be hearsay- come talk to my son -he will tell you about the real Martins. Thanks Bobby@Megastrike- To my son and I "Roland Martin is The Greatest Angler Of All Time"
  3. Jack the thread LOL I think I just got jacked for some Cavitrons. Glenny-Do you need any- I think I might know someone that has a few sitting around-Let me know. As for the trailer hook part of the post. Sam is correct-trailer hooks for tournament use -no trailer hooks for fun fishing. When we redesigned the cavitron a few years ago we took in to consideration the trailer hook issue. Back then the cavitrons were being used primerily by tournament anglers. What we did was oversize the hooks by one size larger-then we moved it back on the head to make it sit back farther . It basically eliminated the need for the trailer hook. Using a trailer hook has its pros and cons. The pro side is =it may hook or double hook a fish that slaps or short strikes a bait. That usually happens a lot in low light or night time fishing. It also happens when there is a lot of chop or waves on the water. It also is good when fishing rivers with a lot of current.The con side is +they catch every weed they can- once you hook a weed -the bait runs out of tune and is basically worthless. It also catches brances in laydowns ect. The other thing that happens is when you attach the trailer hook to the primary hook via a rubber gromet- once that hook starts turning sideways-so does the bait. It acts like a rudder. I like my baits running straight and true-. Ok I'm done
  4. The problem with Megastrike is it lasts way too long- Over 50% of our sales come from tubes blowing out of the boat at 70MPH- fishing friends stealing their tubes and the caps being lost- HMMMM great marketing- Actually guys I am looking at new tubes as we speek. I think I am going to go with the flip top style-. They are more expensive but what the hell. happy customers= priceless
  5. Davis, The only difference between the original Mega and The Yamamoto Mega is that the Yamy version was supposed to go to Japan. They said they wanted a crayfish type because the Japanese think the crayfish would be prevalent there .Sales wise also-I did not want to use any type of artificial crayfish like the ones being used in just about all of the "CRAWFISH" type attractants. They have no food value to the formula-just an artificial scent or essence. I used real crayfish in there. Its really the amino acids that the fish are holding on to. I am right now maKing a batch of new goo- This is the strongest most potent Megastrike I have ever created. It will be available in a few days. As for the huys that say]They just swam off with it- I LOVE THAT-good solid hooksets. The best is when you pitch a bait into heavy cover and you pull up and then they pull back- then you dot their eyes.
  6. Ya have to go with the amino acids- I wish you guys were at some of the shows we did demonstrations -with and without the Megastrike on baits- It is as good as it gets. If you dont like it -we buy it back -no questions asked.
  7. SAVE YOU MONEY AND TAKE UP GOLF!!!! The stuff dosent work- Its tournament time!!!
  8. Killer question walleyboy-I thought of that many times while fishing. When I fish from shore-first I will cast right down the shoreline--then down the next shoreline-(figure 9 o'clock then 3 o'clock) then 10'oclock-then two o'clock and keep alternating so they do not get accustomed to the bait -mix it up after 5-10 min move on down the line. works for me
  9. Bassfin-I have had cavitrons blasted by large -pike-musky- salt water stripers you name it. I laugh when I look at them . I bend them back to shape and keep fishing. I dont know if its me but the worse they look the more fish I catch with them. I have cavitrons that are 5 years old. Beat to hell and they are the ones I tie on first. HMMM $5.95 per cavitron - 5-6 years of use. Thats about a buck a year to lease if I dont lose it-hundreds of fish-wow could be pennys a fish . Cant beat that for excitement- LOL Just fishn' Thanks buddy
  10. Just bend the wireing til it runs true- There is no need to throw it away. Make sure the wires are in line with the hook and head.
  11. Heres a cool pic I dont think I posted before- Cavitrons bleeding buzzbaits- The Hemo
  12. Heres my favorite cavitron
  13. Steve, Stick to the basics-Black and white are the only colors you need-as for sizes-just 3/8 and 1/4 -KEEP IT SIMPLE--Heres Roadwarriors favorite
  14. Fishy Fishy- To answer your question- What to do with them-Throw them all away -They dont work LOL
  15. Sorry speed-that was directed for Hokie
  16. Speed, Those plastics from Srike King are difficult to work with. I am not here to bash them -I am just stating a fact when it comes to this technique of adhereing the bait to the Shak-E2 Head.They do have their places of course but not here. I tested just about every size and shape of screw holder and what I found was that if you didnt get the bait to go on correctly the first time-it was wasted.Basically ripped the head of the bait and then had to be thrown away. Another thing I found was when using the screw type holders --if the worm wasnt straight- it would cause a corkscrew action or twisting during the retrieve. I didnt like that.. 99% of the baits I applied to the head work fine. If you are old like me -I have trouble screwing that worm on the head LOL
  17. Bass - I just got in 30,000 heads we take visa -Mastercard LOL
  18. TOKYO I havent gotten any emails from you- send it to bobby@megastrike.com -Hook a brother up program
  19. Zel, I was out yesterday throwing a "Shak Flick" rig - No punn- with a wacky rigged senko- There were fish stacked on points and whacked the heck out of numbers. Biggest almost 4 lbs but 20 over 2 lbs. I just went to the furthest part of the points- pulled out a little further ,then pulled the wackey rigged shak-E2 down the point. Halfway down -I just felt that familiar tap- Didnt lose a fish or a rig- it was a sandy type bottom. I only used it with a 3/16 head-green pump-
  20. Simon and Dave -believe me its cavitron time. Just go out -find the weeds preferably a good weedline -parallel them. Also find some wood mixed with that weed and you will find bass. If you have lillypads on your body of water-you can throw the Cavitron right through the pad- Just hold on . the most vicious strikes I have ever gotten on the cavitron has been pulling it through the lilly pads. This little kid across street acually he is 15 years old and 270 lbs- caught this 7lb 3 oz at a local pond on a white 3/8 cavitron -If he can do it so can you.
  21. Autiger- Thank you for your support and the kind words. I just got a report also from Manny who ownes the Bait Barn in CA> He also siad how much he liked the Shak-E2's/ Listen we are all skeptics-I am the #1 You have to let me prove to myself that things work and work for me. I never buy stuff on line- I want to hold it -feel it make sure it is what it is. I hate getting ripped off.. Thats why I always send samples- Yes it costs me but I get it in return 10 fold. I can tell every fisherman in the world in a magazine or video how good something is but ya still have to get it in their hands to use. I truely believe with all of my heart that the shak-e2 is something very unique.The more people use it -the more they come back and tell me how well they like it. As for the paint issue-It isnt paint-its powder coated-It holds up better than paint- . I havent had it come off yet -. Let me bang it against some more rocks- take care and thanks again, Bobby@MegaStrike SHAK-E2'S CATCH BIG FISH TOO!
