Low_Budget_Hooker

Yup, degrees of guilt, there's a word for it, it's escaping me right now. Negligible difference? oh, I don't know but there is a word for it

We are all entitled to our opinion.

Very "amBASSadorial" of you. You've set a good example That's how we got the name originally, winning saltwater striper tournaments up in the rivers in a 16' Lowe jon w/ a 9.9 on it (was originally "Lowe Budget Hookers) while all the regulators, rampages and contenders headed for deeper water. Wrong move,lol There's more than 1 way to get respect,lol We've since been replaced by a guy we call "neil the eel". This kid can catch. He's out there everyday, plays in a local band at night, "young Neil and the Vipers" aptly renamed by his angling brethren to "young neil and the stripers" lol

Absolutely, don't be surprised if you like it even better than the b/c, especially if you throw finesse stuff at all.

I'm with ya Dan,lol

My all nighters went from hunting skinny women in the bar all night to chasing fat girlies around the lake all night,lol

But will they work in the colder, harsher Northeast waters is the question. I firmly believe a test trip is in order Big O. I got the boats, the fish and the Lobsters for dinner.

Yup, both the Teva's and the North Face flip flops float, found both out the hard way,lol Tricky when they are wet and trying to walk on wet aluminum,....entertaining for sure,...but tricky,lol

Better bring me too then because that is everything this site DOES stand for,....and then some. 8-)

Awesome bait but way overpriced IMO No bait should cost more than $30, hand painted, signed, blessed by the Pope, whatever.

I like that idea Fish, next time I'm going to pay attention

The Facts fact-Rage Tail pays no more or less than any other advertiser. Fact- Products where the owner/designer is a strong part of the forum board always get more talk. They are here, in person, to answer your questions, this creates a personal relationship and having something explained by the creator (Bobby Megastrike is another example, got a question about why his product is built the way it is? you should, it's pretty interesting, either way, he'll explain IN PERSON) but either way, explanations and accountability at your fingertips, by the head honcho himsrlf,......is called great customer service, not a marketing machine. Fact- Big O has some serious baits happening right now Fact- he's a marketing genius, from the informational videos to the personal relationships with actual customers,...e.g. US!! Fact- That rooster is going to blow peoples mind, you might want to close your eyes, going to be lots of posts and pics of big, rooster take bass! lol Fact- Tha Anaconda and shad have been hot on most of the larger forum boards

Always,....girls talk.

Have you ever had success here? a 13 lb LM on micro lite/crawler combo?? (If so, open water flats?) (If so,...I'll learn to bow down further,lol)

I routinely catch the 2.25-3.5's all the time, one of these "next size up" ones hits maybe once every 20 fish or so. For New England, I'll take it!! ..and with an avatar like that, I hardly think you're surprised,lmao

Dude(s).....Get a room! I've got $10 that says Burley catches the most dinks this weekend. Any takers? No way dude, wouldn't touch that bet with a 7'11" flippin stick

I've been one of the lucky ones to play with this bait. I couldn't say it but it was the bait I was using for most of that bed fishing video I made. I switched back and forth between that and the S/K 4" Finesse worm. They would be buried, hiding, looking at their nest and come out, shoot across the nest and meet the rooster coming in the other side, I've seriously never seen anything like it. Y'all are in for a treat when this thing comes out. I've also been using it as a topwater. Found myself in the pads with no frogs, etc, had the Rooster tied on so I said what the heck. Tip high, light retrieve,...BANG!!

my mistake, this is the bait I was using

Never in the history of my lake has there been a Rainbow trout in it. (or ANY Trout for that matter,lol) VIDEO

No idea but if you want a 12" worm, I can't let this thread slip by w/o mentioning the Rage Rail Anaconda, distributed by Strike King. You'll never fish another 12" worm and they even have another version coming in 2010!!

I changed the name of the thread because this isn't "Virginia" specific. The majority of folks who have the good reps are in other states like cali, Tx, etc I would follow RW's advice on this one and remember, you get what you pay for. Great fish btw, congrats!!!

So, uh....When can can I get 1 of those? ;D They're killing me Wayne, just KILLING me!! Having major communication issues when it comes to the patterns and colors I want. We have them PHYSICALLY perfect, from the samples I've given out and from my own use, I'm not afraid to say, they are even better than the original,...but the colors,...man, what a nightmare! (and of all the nightmares for me to have,...the guy who doesn't believe 1 bit in "color",....but, I know the customers do so,...) THE MINUTE I have them in hand, I have a list of folks who are waiting,....you're at the top, believe me. You'll probably get a call with me screaming in your ear that they're in,...they're in!!! I just don't know when Update-just got an email, meeting with factory owner at noon I'm going to tell him to CRACK THAT WHIP!!!

That's an understatement, I have as much fun at these things as the kids, no joke! This particular fish was special though, this family will never forget it. I was on the picnic table with my friend Michelle and I saw Matt lift his rod out of the water. Bobber, split shot, tiny worm hook and a huge madman craw,lol. I said, let's get this guy on some sunfish (Bass bite was dying, place is small and they got pounded the 1st hour) So I hook Matt up with a sunfish rig and sure enough, he got one. Well, as he's reeling it in, about 3 feet from shore, 2 fish come up and both try to smash the kiver. Now he's skitzing out, and sure enough, one of the Bass gets him. So we set the hook and pull him out of the fish's mouth . I rig another rod with a big hook and we thread the gill on. Matt casts and again, we get to watch 3 feet in front of us as the bass keeps TAGGING this bluegill. Matt is beside himself. I mean.....wigging out! So the Bass gets it and we let him get it in his mouth a bit, letting her head for deeper water as she begins choking down the bait. I reach over and grab the rod and line at the same time and yank back, almost punching Matt in the face,....when I let go, he had himself a reaaaaaal good pull and then the screaming began!! WOO HOOOO,...MOM LOOK,...MOM LOOK!!!! The video begins just after I land the fish and Matt is winding down,....now in awe of this thing I'm holding. Memories are the real treasure in this world, and we were both pretty rich that day

Same thing happened to Glenn!!!
