Super User OkobojiEagle Posted June 18, 2010 Super User Posted June 18, 2010 .ghoti... what cover did you fish these baits in and what technique/manner? If so, how do these baits differ from the crowd of creature baits in today's market? Looking for a semi-unbiased critique.steve Kent was fishing a T-rig. I had mine rigged on a jighead. I was fishing fairly deep, popping it off the bottom, while Kent was fishing his quite a bit slower. Water clarity was in the 18" range; maybe a bit less. These baits will move some water on the drop, if you use enough weight. I did not try one weightless. Following Speedy's advice, I was fishing between 15 and 25 feet deep. As far as a comparison, I would say look at two other baits. The Zoom brush hog and a Rage Tail smokin rooster. The brush hog has a very subtle action. Not a lot of movement from the appendages. The rooster, or space monkey, have a lot of movement from their various limbs. Bobby's new bait falls in between these two. I tend to classify my plastics as either aggressive; ie. Rage Tail baits; or as subtle, ie. Zoom super fluke. This new bait is right in the middle. I make bait choices based on action more often than color. I think it helps to change baits based on action rather than color when looking for what will get bit on any given day. Color change is for fine tuning. I tend to start aggressive, and then work my way down the scale towards no action. Bobby's new bait gives me another intermediate step in the search. .ghoti., thanks for the information. I especially relate to your "aggressivness scale". I think in terms of a "window" that a bass is comfortable in at any given time. The "aggressivness window" encompasses 1/4 to 1/3 of the entire aggressivness continuum. Obviously a bait in the middle of the continuum will fall within the window more often than one at either end of the scale. Bobby, I enjoy your posts as much as the next angler but occasionally you near the realm of the "sham-wow" guy. It's nice to get the impressions of a "non-company spokesman". Thanks for getting the smaller 2/0 hook jigs to me. They are fitting my smallie plastics better than the larger hooked versions. They DO behave as advertised, although they don't come through grass and pond weed as cleanly as the Brewer's spider head. Thanks again for the service and hang on to the gal that answers your phone... she's going to keep you out of alot of trouble! steve Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted June 18, 2010 Author Posted June 18, 2010 No SCAM WOW here- Its just that I put a lot of design-time-and experimenting with all of the products I develop. It might be a personal thing but there is a lot of self-joy when you make something and its a great product. To see some one catch a fish-like a kid or someone win a tournament with a product you developed is outrageous. I try to give all of the insights I have on the development of the product to people about to use of the product or any questions that might be answered before they get the product. I really wish that I could take you guys on the water and show you. As for the times of the baits being ready- Believe me nobody is more ticked off than me. Its not me that is the hold up-Its the other companies that are so backed up producing product. Molds are taking longer-ya have to make sure the bags are perfect- Its just things that are out of my control. It sucks. Quote

mrclean77 Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Ghoti - as a bass newb/person re-discovering fishing, I appreciate that helpful post on the 2nd page I consider myself a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none ----- I am into shooting sports, motorcycles, guitars - just made my "re-discovery" of fishing a month or so ago, but is has been very comforting to see how much 'Made in the USA' stuff is available and at the top of the performance/quality ratings when it comes to fishing stuff Having said all that, I'm sure I have room for these new little guys Quote
