HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Last year I tried out some spinner baits w/echips and loaded the boat 30 to 1 vs my co-pilot throwing the same spinnerbait w/o the Echip. It felt extremely unfair and wrong. Not that it wasn't fun, but after relizing how depressed my buddy was getting I retired that set-up for the evening. Ok here's the question: Are Echips allowed in tourny's? Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 whats an echip? Something you eat w/a ranch flavored dip ;D It's a small 1/4" or so device that gives off signals that mimics dying bait fish that you can attach to most lures. http://stores.homestead.com/EChip/Categories.bok?category=EChip+Kits Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 well now, that's just cheatin' .....I think there are a few army surplus stores that have small amounts of C4 left if those don't get it done for you,lol ;D I've honestly never seen those before. Interesting. Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Never heard of those before, can you post a picture of what they look like on a lure. Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Never heard of those before, can you post a picture of what they look like on a lure. Here you go: Flippin jig slides over the hook like you would a trailer. Quote

BASS fisherman Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 In the tournaments I fish the only things not allowed is live bait and preserved baits like those minnows that come in a bag. Quote
Oscar O. Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I've never seen it on a spinnerbait, but i do know that echips are used for ocean fishing. Caught salmon and halibut using them. Interesting, never saw it for bass, mostly salmon lures. Quote
dumb_dog11 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 to answer your question... i looked right on the website and it says "Winning tournaments worldwide" sooo...... http://www.protroll.com/products/echip/ Quote
dumb_dog11 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 those would be really good just to get confidence in lures Quote
