Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 Those who attended the Guntersville Road Trip recently received a package of Big O's newest bait, the Rage Tail Menace. I just ordered five more packs, three in the color I received, Green Pumpkin with Purple and Gold flakes. I even paid five dollars extra to get them second day air. Right now, I'd hate to be on the water without them. I also ordered a pack of black with red flakes and a pack of watermelon with red flakes. On six successive trips to a pond on Cape Cod, I have boated a smallmouth over three pounds, on a couple of those days two or three over three pounds. The Menace accounted for some of these fine fish. It also works well on largemouth. Some have been caught on this rig (the Menace being rigged the same way, except for the "paddles" being horizontal rather than vertical) and others on a wacky worm. Of the three baits, the menace caught the most fish, and I rotated between the three baits pretty much equally. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 Great to hear, I'm looking forward to fishing them on the Tennessee River next month. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted August 30, 2012 Super User Posted August 30, 2012 Colors look great. The menance would look good on a NS jig Quote
Big-O Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Rhino, I like your rigging style for sure and many of our Pro's are using a similar set up for rocks and drops. Kim Stricker (Hook n'Look) just sent me a some photos today where he was catchin'em good punching grass mats. It's a versatile bait and It's obviously going to create quite tool for many waters. Glad you like it! Quote
riskkid 2 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Going to give mine a try on Pickwick tomorrow. Planning on pitching them in deep grass (pegged & t rigged w/ 1 oz tung weight, 4/0 ewg hook) and also pitching them shallow to vrs cover (pegged & t rigged w/ 3/8 oz tung weight, 3/0 ewg hook). Any comments on my plan and rigging choices welcomed. Quote
