Bass Dude Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 It's strange how evertime they showed Ike he was tossing the tube. It's like KVD when he says he's using the Sexy Shad, then ESPN shows his rods and he has one Strike King crank and 5 Lucky Crafts tied on!! How come everyone isn't going out to buy the Crazylegged Chigger Craw!! The addition of those two legs really changes that bait Quote
OK Bass Hunter Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 I was somewhat skeptical about the lure until other members of the forum came out in support now I'm tempted to see if it's really as good as advertised. Thanks Bassresource.com for finding yet another way to help me spend my cash. Quote

How come everyone isn't going out to buy the Crazylegged Chigger Craw!! The addition of those two legs really changes that bait You're right. I don't even think Ike threw the laser lure out there. For sure he didn't on day 3. He was throwing a tube. I'd say the majority of the pros were using a tube or crawdad type bait flipping. I'm not saying the laserlure isn't junk but it shows you that you can't trust what some of these pro say. Quote
Bassnajr Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Zona said that IKE was using "a Generic" red and black 4" tube all week. I didn't see him use the LaserLure...but then, I wasn't in the boat with him all three days..... Quote
tyrius. Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 You're right. I don't even think Ike threw the laser lure out there. For sure he didn't on day 3. He was throwing a tube. For sure? You saw every single cast by Ike? Ike's throwing one lure for an entire day? Were you Ike's observer for the day? : Quote
Bassaholic84 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Glen could probally let us know....didnt he ride with him in practice? He should know if he used it and if he caught any fish on it Quote

What I can tell you is that all the fish Ike caught that were shown on TV were all caught on plastics and not the laser lure. Quote
tyrius. Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 If you believe everything the pros say well then you're not very bright. Decided to reply outside of your earlier PM? Anyways, I know that the pros are less than truthful in what they throw. They have to promote their sponsors product or they won't be sponsored. What I can tell you is that all the fish Ike caught that were shown on TV were all caught on plastics and not the laser lure. Perfectly valid statement. However, that's not what you said in your earlier post. Quote
indy basser Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Just because Ike didn't catch any fish on day 3 using the laser lure doesn't mean that he doesn't use the product. Pros fish the conditons, not fish their primary sponsors. I truely believe Ike thinks there are situations that the laser lure will outfish another crankbait. Also if you look at the pictures on Bassmaster.com from day 3 launch, tere is a a picture of Ike messing with a crankbait and it's hard to tell but it appears to be the exy shad knock off of the laser lure Quote
Bassnajr Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 "IKE fished the conditions"....very good point. I also feel if he had killed them with the LaserLure, we sure would have heard about it at the weigh-in or numerous other occasions. Don't forget, all he has do do is throw it once to say: "I use the LaserLure and so should you". I was surprised IKE didn't go on about his sponsors...he let his shirt and boat do the talking I guess!!! ajr Quote
Btech Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Darn Baitmonkey - Guess Ill place an order - He is hungary again! Quote
farmpond1 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Didn't Dr. Evil equip the sharks in his diabolical shark tank with lasers? Did they catch more fish? Austin Powers never said. He's obviously not a fisherman. Quote
Bassnajr Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I checked IKE's website, and they are not listed as a sponsor....maybe they didn't update his home page yet!!! Quote
Bassnajr Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 DR. EVIL..... ;D too much!!!! "Use my Laser Lure and you will catch ONE HUNDRED MILLION BASS!!!! (Finger in corner of mouth at this point!!!) ajr Quote

NYfishwow Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 [tt]I think I am going to test the theory of the laser lure and see if it works. I am going to try to find similar lure so that only the difference is the laser.[/tt] isn't this cool, how many girls like fishing, 1/100,000,000,000. Wow! 8-) Quote

senko_77 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Ike fished the Laser Lure shallow diver on days 1 & 2 and when the front came through on Saturday night, he switched to all soft plastics on day 3. His decision was perfect and is why he almost won the thing from 9th place. The Laser Lure would have been a dumb choice for day 3. Quote
Bassaholic84 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Senko have you fished these baits? Quote
TennBassMan Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Ok well I got taken in I just ordered the shallow crank Ill let you all know how it goes. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted February 26, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted February 26, 2009 Glen could probally let us know....didnt he ride with him in practice? He should know if he used it and if he caught any fish on it Yes, he was using the Laser Lure during practice. Yes, he caught fish on them. But just in case you think I'm trying to cover for him because we're friends, here's proof. I took these pictures while out on his boat the last day of practice. I have video of him catching fish on them too. I will post that footage at a later date. Quote
Bass Dude Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 On the vid Ike said he was using a black and blue one. The one in the pics looks like a Sexy Shad type sceme. Was this the same one he used the whole tourney? Quote
Infidel. Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Thanks for the pics Glenn. Can't say I wont give those a try for my up coming night tourneys Another thing about Ike is that he has access to all the top end Daiwa rods and most of the time I see him on TV he has a TD-S or a Light & Tough in his hand.
