airborne_angler Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Really a cheesy advertisement. These guys are trying to throw attitude,and its just a Farce. Im not buying into the hype. Skeet "I designed it" Reese. Good for you,you designed a bait. Put your money where your mouth is and win some tourneys with it and then you can gloat about designing it. These guys just cant put the attitude factor over on people,its not their true persona. All fake. Quote
Super User Tin Posted February 18, 2011 Super User Posted February 18, 2011 LOL... "Bigger Body, bigger bass", it was like watching a bad infomercial. Whoever came up with that commercial should be fired. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted February 18, 2011 Super User Posted February 18, 2011 I 'm not drinking that cool aid. Quote
airborne_angler Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 If im not mistaken,the Bait Bobby Lane is trying to sell is nothing more than a Chigger Craw after thanksgiving. The claws and the little legs look like they came from the Chigger Craw and the body,well its just been fattened up. The Twin Tail Grub,Well thats a no brainer. Look how many different companies make this bait,put em all side by side,and by only looking at them I bet you couldnt tell em apart. I like the sales Pitch Ike gave,not over the top,pretty subtle,not in your face GRRR attitude.Ike seems to explain things very well. Seems like hed be a great teacher. Skeet Reese. "This is the nuts" What kind of terminology is that? Never heard of it.Some parts of his sales pitch you cant even understand what he says. Or is it just me? Skeet needs to stick to his fishing,and not do commercials,unless he gets a coach on how to enunciate his words better in front of the camera. Heck maybe he got all caught up in the excitement trying to hype the bait up,and stumbled a few words. Quote

Just in case this is not a rhetorical question ..."The nuts" is a poker term used when a player has a hand that can't be beat. As far as the baits..I don't think they'll be reeking "Havoc" anytime soon ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User Raul Posted February 18, 2011 Super User Posted February 18, 2011 What 's so special about them ? :-? Quote
airborne_angler Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Well now I know what skeet is talking about. Sorry,im no poker player. Quote
River Rat316 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I agree Airborne, Ike was the only one I could listen to, I wanted to punt Lane, could care less about another double tail, and Skeete just looked like he needed a hair cut, and I tuned him out after about 5 seconds Quote
rboat Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Nothing new here. All hype. What a waste. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 19, 2011 Super User Posted February 19, 2011 I can't stand when they try to market products like they do in the video. They are bass fisherman, not MMA fighters. The yelling and staring with crossed arms is ridiculous. They should leave the badness for sports that warrant that kind of marketing. /rant Totaly agree.......bass fishing has been over run by ****** bags. Nothing more bad than a bunch of white guys fishing with there hats on backwards. Now I gotta go chase some kids off my lawn. Quote
Incheon Basser Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 You all watched the video and if you didn't see what was special about a few of them then don't buy them leaves more bass for me to catch. ;D Quote
central.PA.bass Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 i actually bought 2 packs of these today at dicks.. i got some junebug Ike baits and some lime purple passion skeet baits. The Ike bait actually looks something like something lake fork would make.. these baits to have that hint of powerbait smell to them so i wouldnt call them completely scentless.. I am excited to use them.. I love the purple in the skeet bait..  I think it has some real potential come march through june here in pennsylvania..

Bobby Uhrig Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 NOBODY THERE IS INNOVATIVE AT ALL PERIOD!!!! Quote
IntroC Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Like most are saying nothing seems to overly innovative. Not saying I wouldn't buy them if I seen them in the bargian bin. The only guy in the video that baffles me is Skeet. It seems to me he wants to portray the tough guy of the sport. Its a bad depiction of himself and I don't think its genuine. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted February 19, 2011 Super User Posted February 19, 2011 I really like Mike Iaconalli's bait....Makes sense because that thing looks very similar to a pattletail he loves fishing so much. Scent or no scent,I don't care it'll give me an excuse to put JJ's magic on it. Quote

Agreed! Reminds me of an upsized Stingray Grub with a tail that has some thump to it. Not sure what it will do for green fish, but the smallies should go for it. Quote
DTack Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 This could be a downside to making a decent living fishing nationally and selling products... When a company tells you to market something and you are under contract with them, there's a good chance that you are going to listen and fall in line to feed your family. These guys aren't holding a press conference and telling their feelings on this commercial, they are trying to sell a product. My guess is (even if the commercial sucks) the product will still sell. After all of the replies, I didn't watch the commercial. If it deeply concerns you about how the sport is being "portrayed" then send an email to Berkley or PureFishing. With that said, one of the things that attracted me to fishing is the fact that "most" folks who do it are pretty humble and down right accepting so I'm not just plain disagreeing. I really, really hope this doesn't make anyone mad, just trying to give a different point of view in the fact that sometimes when something becomes our job we are borderline forced by contract to do or say things that don't 100 percent represent our personal feelings. Quote
BassThumb Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I really like the look of Ike's bait. Grease that with some Megastrike and it will make a nice flipping bait for cattails. This doubletail grub looks like an excellent spinnerbait trailer at 10/$3. Without the salt, it won't rust my spinnerbaits if I don't remove them after a day of fishing. Quote
Mattlures Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 "The Nuts" is not specificaly a poker term. Its a general gambling term. It means you are supossed to win the bet. I used to play pool and most of the gambling is in the handicapping. The beter player gives the weaker player "weight" or a hanicap. If he gives too much weight and cant win the lesser player has "the nuts" or if he gave just enough weight so the weaker player feels he has a chance but the stronger player still wins, then the stronger player has "the nuts." Basicaly it means the outcome has been determined before the game has even started. Many pool players also play poker and visa versa. These type of people are addicted to the "action" so the terms cross over. I never liked to gamble so I dont play much anymore. I kinda like the term "the nuts" though. Quote

The nuts is a hand in poker when you know you can't (not supposed to) be beat.And I've played pool for a long time, golf to , both giving and receiving handicaps and never have has anyone ever referred to giving to much handicap as "the nuts". See #1...http://www.*/define.php?term=+the+nuts Quote
Mattlures Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 The nuts is not too much handicap. The nuts is what the player has when they are supossed to win easily. Soo If I under estimate a weaker player and give them too much weight to where I cant win the game, He has "the nuts" if the game is competetive then nobody has the nuts. I have been playing pool for about 30 years and the term "the nuts" was being used before I was playing. It may very well have originated in poker, I dont know for sure. But I do know it means when somebody has the odds in so much favor that they should win easily. If you go a pool forrum you will see the nuts is a common term and has been for a very long time. Quote

WoW you must be really old!! HaHA J/K ;D I don't know where it originated either but i think the OP understands the meaning behind "the nuts" now Quote
Mattlures Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah ha ha after we hijacked the thread, sorry :-[ I do plan on trying Ikes little grub thing. I never knew they swam like that so now I want to try them. Other then that The other designs did not get me super excited. The biggest reason I ever fish Bearkley is the sweet stink they have. I think it would be a mistake to not use it. Oh and I am not that old, I am only 38 ;D Quote
