Jolly Green Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Camping with the family this week landed me next to a 10 acre pond stocked with panfish, trout, and largemouth; so after setting the kids up on a pier with some light poles and Crappie Nibbles I took a couple rods and very modest expectations to chase bass. The weather was cool so the swimming area of the pond had been undisturbed all day, and I had seen bass moving in and out from under all the floating slides, trampolines, and other play platforms in about 6' of water. I won't detail everything I threw at those fish that they completely ignored, but it was most everything I had in the bag. After an hour I was working my way through different plastics (again, having already struck out with Senkos, flukes, tubes, etc.) and I finally decided to open the bag of Havoc Pit Bosses I had bought and never tried, and rigged one weightless on a 4/0 hook. It was like a doggone dinner bell when it hit the water; I pulled in three fish that watched it pretty warily for a second before absolutely slugging it but then they were fighting over it, and many fish later I finally landed the hawg of the bunch, a whopping 3 lbs. lol. So thanks, Pit Boss, for saving my camp fishing bacon. I know that most any bait can have its time to shine, but from now on I'll be keeping a few bags in with the other essentials. Quote
blckshirt98 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 That pit boss is the bellweather for Berkley's Havoc line! One of the best trailers out there too! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 12, 2015 Global Moderator Posted July 12, 2015 The Pit Boss Jr on a light jighead is a killer on those bass that you can see as well. Quote
Jaderose Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I have no idea how many bags of Pit Boss's I have. They work, they're cheap and you can use them for just about any technique you might want to use. What's not to like! 1 Quote
