coryn h. fishowl Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I have suddenly noticed a shift in the descriptive language of lures. More and more, I am seeing phrases like: "a seductive shimmy," "sexy action," "an enticing wiggle," "an attractive color," "tempting vibrations," "irresistible movement," and "provocative presentation." I understand there are some similarities between women and bass, such as often releasing many before finding a few worth keeping, inevitable backlashes in the pursuit of them, the testing of one's patience, often being impossible to work with, and being able to so easily entice a man into obsession, but although I love a skilled conversationalist, I don't find massive mouths, extreme aggression and the ability to eat something 1/3 their body size to be attractive traits in women. Are we undergoing a shift in fishing style? Are we done offering false food items, and instead seeking to seduce bass? If so, we should stop using green pumpkin and bluegill jigs and throw pink voltage lipstick jig heads with a sexy-curvy shad skirt instead. No more baby bass crankbaits, you'd be better off with baby momma bass cranks featuring a sensual shimmy and promiscous wiggle. During the spawn, no more senkos, try instead an Xtra large driftwood on a 5/0 hook with ADT salamander shield security system and bodyguard swim baits to fool bass into believing that your offering might protect their fry from those bluegill ruffians. After all, raising 10,000 fry is so hard for a single male in this economy; what they want isn't food, but security. What about you, what is your experience with this bold new world of bass allurement? I would go on, but it is imperative I start smearing lip gloss om my swimbaits. Ciao 6

Super User flyfisher Posted October 25, 2013 Super User Posted October 25, 2013 Thank KVD....he is the king or maybe queen of talking to and describing his lures as sexy......
Snakehead Whisperer Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 If so, we should stop using green pumpkin and bluegill jigs and throw pink voltage lipstick jig heads with a sexy-curvy shad skirt instead. Been throwing this and boating nice fish on it for a good long while. Was wondering when you guys would catch on
coryn h. fishowl Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 We can't leave female bass out either, I use a custom made Bill Gates Bass swimbait with tuxedo colors. The females love financial security. 2
ClackerBuzz Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 i guess you haven't paid much attention to Reaction Innovations. its seems they've made it their mission to combine fishing and porn lingo. personally it doesn't work for me. its like trying to combine ice cream flavors with text message lingo. i'll take a double scoop of LOL. no wait make that 1 scoop LOL, 1 scoop IMHO and 1 scoop BWT...with some BRB sprinkles. 1

aceman387 Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Lure manufactures will do anything to sway you from buying from the competition. If another worm manufacturer came out with the "big johnson" power worm which one would you buy? no guy in his right mind would want to be caught fishing next to his buddies in the boat using the regular power worms 2

This is a brave new world of fishing. I gotta get a patent on that one.

Super User Marty Posted October 26, 2013 Super User Posted October 26, 2013 As has been mentioned, it's marketing. I'm convinced that sales of Sweet Beavers, Sexy Shad, Horny Toad and other things that escape my memory would have been less with more ordinary names.
bassguytom Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 My fat bottom girls are more of the shot and a beer type. They like my storm thunderstick most of the time with a deep diver coming in a close 2nd. 2

Mike2841 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Not really racy, more racist, but I think the worst one is the Zara spook. One time I was fishing a small pond near my house and there were 3 kids about 9 or 10 also fishing. They saw me pull in a bass and asked me what I was using. Telling a 10 year old black kid that I was using a spook was really awkward. 3

Telling a 10 year old black kid that I was using a spook was really awkward. That's pretty interesting. I've been fishing for 40+ years and that thought never occurred to me, but you're right. It'd be fascinating to know why the company named it that.
coryn h. fishowl Posted October 27, 2013 Author Posted October 27, 2013 I just checked out Reaction Innovation lures. I guess the advertising works because I am tempted to buy the lures just to show them to them to people and say "Yes, this is a real thing!" Besides, I'm sure pre-spawn males would love some kinky beaver (actual lure sold by RI)
