Attractant Part Two

[Bobby Uhrig]

As for the fish being gut hooked. I have seen fish pick up-swallow and regurgitate baits back up. Remember they are not intellegent creatures-They are creatures of habit and conditioning- THEY THINK THE BAIT IS REAL AT FIRST. then their natural defense system kicks in and says it is not . Then the spit them out or regurgitate them.They do swallow some baits that are not real or have food value to them at times but not often. I have found them to swallow senkos-I do know for a fact that gary yamamoto uses amino acids in his baits. Hmmm what othe product uses them. You guess it. Bass as well as other species of fish eat regularly. Its an every day occurance. Not every thing they eat or attact is artifical. There are fish out there that have never even been exposed to lures. Its the ones that have been caught and released a few times that become wary or condition to baits. They are the so called "smart ones". they arent really smart-Your dog Pee's on the carpet a few times -ya smack him in the *** with a newspaper and he wont do it any longer-Same theory"conditioning"Its a trial and error thing. Why do ya think we try to make baits mimmc the real thing so closely-TO GET MORE STRIKES.We always say "show them something they havent seen before- something different. Then we get into reaction strikes-thats another story. Probibly the best reaction bait still to this day is the rattletrap-Tell me why they hit that bait so well year after year after year.
