Bobby Uhrig Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Here at Megastrike we strive to be the ”Leaders In Fishing Tackle Innovation. The products we have developed over the years include the first amino acid based fish attractant surprisingly called MegaStrike. An ICAST Best New Lure Award in 2006 for the Evolution Jig. The first articulating /jointed spinner bait that is the rave of the spinner bait fishermen. The most famous and recognized name in buzz baits THE CAVITRON Buzz Bait. The most remarkable and innovative stand up /roll forward shakey head on the market-“The Shak-E2 “ Some of the most fish catching plastic bait assortments on the market and the list is still growing. How do we invent these standout products??By loving what we do for a living. By spending over 40 years on the water as well as over 22 years diving with fish and studying them in their natural habitats . We see things that the average fisherman and designers never see or comprehend. Learning things that you cannot by sitting behind a desk eight hours a day. The water IS our office. Our new project has been understanding how fish see underwater. We learned how they smell and taste objects and prey but now we take it to the next level. We want to gather as many components to build the ultimate fish catching baits. We found that the fish see in the UV Spectrum. As color dissipates underwater by light penetration and water clarity-the UV rays do not. The fish can see these baits under very dirty/muddy water conditions as well as lower light conditions. So what we see and what the fish see are two different spectrums. We have worked with a technology company and found how we can enhance/ incorporate/infuse a UV additive to our plastic baits so that it will give the fish a better focal point in all water conditions. When the fish can find a bait easier it will strike it more often thus resulting in more catchable fish for the anglers using these sophisticated baits. MegaStrike now pours all of their own plastic baits at their manufacturing facility. We do it in house now to keep our trade secrets to ourselves. We incorporate our Megastrike Fish Attractant as well as the UV additive into our baits. We spent a lot of money purchasing our own “state of the art” plastic injection molding machine. It took almost six months to custom build and we are very proud of the design. Our molds are the best in the world. Very intricate and detailed so that every bait comes out perfect. I believe that adding Megastrike Fish Attractant and the New UV Additive to our soft plastic baits will help anglers catch fish that they normally wouldn’t catch. We are still learning every day how we can make better baits and use them to catch more fish using science When fishermen catch more fish with a product the word spreads like wildfires .Fishermen cant keep secrets –we all know that. These new baits are being rolled off the machine as we speak. Give them a try –You will be glad that you did. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted October 30, 2013 Super User Posted October 30, 2013 Im digging those grubs.. Those things are sick ! i need to pick up a few more tubes of mega strike im out!!! Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 We are adding the UV into all of our plastics now. I am even highlighting just the tails on some of them -They look great under water in the tanks. Quote
RNSkeeter Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Really interesting idea. A few things that would be nice to see as the general public. 1) What a normal bait looks like next to your pretty glowing grub. and 2) What baitfish might look like in UV. Just to show off the idea that bass are really seeing more of the baitfish at lower light levels than we would. I'm assuming what you're discovering in bass vision is similar to this? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-473897/A-bees-eye-view-How-insects-flowers-differently-us.html Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted October 31, 2013 Super User Posted October 31, 2013 Cool. With adding the new plastics, are we going to see more colors of tubes? If I could get a yellow green and a falcon lake color and a blue green I'd give all my SK's and Berkeley's away Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted October 31, 2013 Super User Posted October 31, 2013 As much as I bust your chops, I gotta admit you are definitely a smart dude. Keep doing your thing Bobby. Quote
