Finally, "Rage Tail's Next Generation"
BTW, the Space monkey, Lizard and Lobster on the video footage is all done with a 1/4 oz weight Tx rigged. This was by design to show the minimal weight necessary to achieve such action. The first 2 clips of Anaconda were with 6/0- 3/16 oz keel weighted hook to show swimming action as well as rip and fall sequence. The last clip is 1/4 oz Tx rigged and swimming toward you. Wasn't enough time to showcase the rise and fall action of the Tx rigged Anaconda but believe me, it is awesome action as well, with any weight chosen. Two sizes on the Anaconda, 10" and 7 1/2 ". I gotta go fishin, Big O

Full Moon
I fish nights almost exclusively and for a fact, moon phase has a definite effect both good and bad. I have found that the best time of any month is the time period (approx 2 wks) between 3 days prior to the new moon and full moon. And this is day or night. Important to remember lunar tables regarding times for Moon Rise, Set, Over and under for best results. I have confidence in them and in my experience, they have proven correct more often than not for over 30 yrs. The Full moon phase is not my favorite for sure but between the new and up to 3/4 moon is. Doesn't mean I don't like the full phase cause I like'em all when the bigg'un is on the other end of my line. Let's do it LBH Big O

It's called patented design features in the design world. And no other worm has this action either. That's called exclusive action in the action world. ;D Big O

Finally, "Rage Tail's Next Generation"
Don't know what the prices will do because I am not aware of that info as of yet. I'm sure SKLCo is waiting to see what what the raw materials and additional manufacturing cost increases are going to be. From now on, most all of the Rage Tail baits will have new inside packaging (hardshell clams) to maintain the exact shape of the baits so that they are as close to perfect as possible when you put'em on a hook. Also tear tabs on all legs, tails or extremities on any and all designs. Kind of like some of the swimbait packaging but mine are complete snap shut hardshell enclosures for more protection to guarantee the action to be correct on all baits. In manufacturing, each bait will have to be placed by hand, one at a time in a given sequence inside the clam then closed before placing in the bag and sealed. I have put an enormous amount of time in the development of this new system and this has added big expenses in manufacturing but I think it's about time that someone steps it up in the soft plastics market to not only provide high energy and action designs but as importantly, guarantee the action results on every single bait in the package. I'm In. On the Anacondas, the tails will be attached but clams will not be necessary. "Some people design soft plastics to make a living, but I live to design soft plastics", theres a difference you know. I am retired and money is not an object, I just want to be able to give my best effort and be totally happy with whatever I do. Now that's a happy retirement and you guys are a big part of that, thanks. Big O Approximate date to see product on some store shelves and via internet is 10-15-08

Roboworm is designed off of the old Manns Augertail worm that came out back in 1970. The Anaconda design is much different and is designed around the Rage Tail Patents. No other worm even close. If there was, I wouldn't have designed it. Big O

Finally, "Rage Tail's Next Generation"
It was a terrific Show and Glenn and Robert dropped by the first morning and both of them were even SOBER ;D. Really it was great to meet them. I actually brought some of that Vegas money back, the Craps and Black Jack tables were good to me this trip. Big O

New Rage Tail Lure, reviews
You guys are the best and thanks for all the comments. I don't know what the prices will do because I am not privy to that info as of yet. I am also coming out with new inside packaging (hardshell clams) to maintain the exact shape of the baits so that they are as close to perfect as possible when you put'em on a hook. Also tear tabs on all legs, tails or extremities on any and all designs. The tails will be attached on Anacondas but will not have clams as it will not be necessary. The Clam shell packages will guarantee the action to be correct on all baits. In manufacturing, each bait have to be placed by hand, one at a time in a given sequence inside the clam then closed before placing in the bag and sealed. This has added big expenses in manufacturing but I think it's about time to step it up in the soft plastics market to not only provide high energy and action designs but as importantly, guarantee the action results, I'm In. With the costs of things going out of sight today, who knows about next yrs prices. All I know is, "Some people design soft plastics to make a living, but I live to design soft plastics", theres a difference you know. I am retired and money is not an object, I just want to be able to give my best effort and be totally happy with whatever I do. Now that's a happy retirement and you guys are a big part of that, thanks. Big O http://ragetail.com/images/RAGE_TAIL_NEXT_GEN.wmv Ck out the new video on Rage Tail homepage, I made it so that you can see all of the new designs action etc.
