Sharing secret baits/techniques

Personally if I had a "secret" bait I'd share it on this site in a SECOND.

I had never been aware of the Fat Ika before BassResource and as a result of RoadWarriors posts about it I have caught more bass this year on the Ika than ANY other bait I use.  (I get them @ Dicks in Manassas)

If RoadWarrior didn't share his "secret" I'd be a lesser fisherman today.  I'm grateful for every successful angler that chooses to spread information and share the goodwill and excitement that comes with catching our quarry of choice and helping each other learn how to be more successful.

On a side note, my wife calls the Ika "the pickle with the skirt..."

My first pack of Ikas were green pumpkin.  heh

Part of me totally understands wanting to protect your "secrets," but personally should I learn that boogers on a treble hook catch big bass...BassResource.com members will be the first to know about it.   ;D

Where do yall purchase your Fat Ikas from. They dont sell them at Bass pro shop or dicks sporting goods.

Nope, they don 't sell GYCB Ikas, but you can get Kinami 's Palm Tree, they are the same bait.

Bought some fat ikas at dicks this past weekend, So much for......Nope, they don 't sell GYCB Ikas :

Bass Pro doesnt sell them....so much for your statement too

SPEEDBEAD, never said bass pro carried them I said Dicks.You may want to re-read....so much for your statement as well. :

Raul wasnt talking about Dick's, He was talking about Bass Pro.

DOH!! Ah, whatever. I give up. Now he knows where he can and can't get them....

Raul,

 You amuse me.You know nothing about me.Yet this,like many other topics on this fourm you assume that you do.They call this ITHINKIKNOWEVERYTHINGIDES.There is a cure,just take a step back,close your mouth,open your ears and you will be truly amazed at what you might learn.You will also find that you won't need to pull your foot out of your mouth quite as often.

SPEEDBEAD,

     Whatever  :-X

The BPS in St Charles has Kinami Palm Trees, not Fat Ikas. Same exact bait, different packaging. I buy from them all the time. Nine colors, $4.50 for a five pack.

Thanks, now my feelings are hurt. Bully....

Well, apparently Caladryl wasn 't strong enough, add Noxema, that will take away the itch.

[Catt]

I was going to share some secrets but I get in enough trouble around here as it is  

[Triton21]

I wish I knew some secrets.  I would tell everone.  Maybe that is why no one will tell me any secrets!!! ;D ;D ;D

SPEEDBEAD,Now c,mon we all know I'm way to sensitive to be a bully ;D

AHHHH,I was just venting,was having a bad day >

I'm sure I came off wrong,didn't mean to. No hard feeling I hope. :-[

 Now back on topic.Stopped at Dicks last night,needed a few things(wow was that a mistake$$$)Anyway wanted to see if they still carried Ikas.And sure enough there they were,not a real big selection,But they had some none the less(Sorry Raul :-X).So I did what any self respecting tackle junkie would do.Bought three packs

Kinda got me thinking ,learned about them Ikas right here at BR and how to t-rig them backwards(AWSOME SECRET )And many other tips,tricks,and techniques.Don't think I'd really call them secrets but, I am thankfull for all the help and advice I've gotten here 8-)

Its cool, same thing around here. Its easier to count the days that arent stressful.

Nash,  I do not have a problem with personal networks.  Nor did I sign a contract when joining this site to reveal everything I know, which really is not much anyways.  I am sure others here send pms.  Do as you wish.  Not that many tournament fishers here.  Some of the loudest on this site have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to tourney fishers.  Dont let this make you shy.

[senile1]

I don't believe in telling what baits or locations to fish them. I don't even believe in telling people I am on a particular lake for fear that they will follow me and watch with binoculars. I am even secretive about my secrets.

I have learned through years of pro fishing the secrets of the pros, but I ain't telling, cause it's a secret. By the way: I hope that the code works for this message as I don't want it to get around.

Ah what the heck. The following is the secret of all the top level pros:

Cfmjfwf jo zpvstfmg!

I've figured it out with my Dick Tracy decoder ring.  The secret is . . . . . .

"Hook the fish."

[George Welcome]

Oh oh, that Dick Tracy decoder ring can get you in trouble - next thing you know you will be in front of the CIA for giving away secrets.

[captbob]

Most of the baits you've just seen mentioned here are topnotch, anywhere, anytime, anyhow producers.

It's like dropping a live shad in front of a 15# bass, unless you're using clothesline, or doing a drum solo on the bottom of the boat right over his head, chances are very good you'll hook up.

Other personal lures, techniques, etc. that we all stumble on or find by trial and error. I could tell you about--draw pictures--explain all the modifications for 10 different conditions, and it still wouldn't do you any good-(except by accident)-.

 The only thing that would help you is if I came up to WI, held your hand and personally tutored you for a week or so. And since you're not issuing any Visas, I guess that's out. CB

P.S. The same goes for the secrets you'd give me, but you're welcome to come down to FL anyway. Who knows you may win one of our Tournaments. At least you won't have to worry about Walleyes.

Or you can buy them direct:

I bought some of them bad boys, after reading articles about it on here, and I find it hard to believe they weigh a 1/2 oz with a 4/0 hook! I tried it rigged backwards and forwards, and it sure didn't sink like it weighed a 1/2 oz! it sank more like an 1/8 oz,....maybe. Do your Ika's fall that fast?
