One Fish Made Me Smile... The Other One Hurt Me!
Great question PABass and I've been asked this question many times. I only use RageTail products and have for many years regardless of water temps, water conditions and/or time of the year. In the coldest conditions, I slow down and cover the fish holding habitat much slower, more thoroughly and more repetitive presentations to the same areas. I believe that it's the speed that we fish any given area and/or how fast we cover an area that makes the difference... Not the amount of action that a bait will provide during it's fall, or with the movement of the rod tip. If I felt that less action was needed, I would remove the patented Flanges from my baits during the colder conditions... NOT A CHANCE Gotta wake'em up from their slumber before they'll EAT Thanks everyone for each of your responses and comments and hope you get a few more chances to fish before the Winter sets in!

One Fish Made Me Smile... The Other One Hurt Me!
They both ate the RAGE Lobster flipped in deep trees! The Beastly Gal put a Big O Smile on my face when immediately after the hook set, she headed straight to me, only to relax a bit to allow being lifted into the Boat for a photo. The second fish made it painful for me to winch her out of the thick stuff grabbing every limb on the tree on her way up! I was hoping that it might be good Therapy after my shoulder surgery on the 1st of the month, but now I feel ABUSED My grandson Michael said "No pain - No Gain"

She's Old... So We Made A Nice Couple!
This elderly Gal and I were introduced by a RAGE Thumper Worm and Moaner Stick'r Hook! I think that in Bass Years, she could be my age Wonder if she has aches and pains like I do T Rigged with 1/2oz tungsten and 25lb Fluoro line, 7'11 hvy action rod. With this heavier set up, hook sets are more sure and I can control them much easier. A few days ago, I had a little shoulder surgery tune up... I'm thinking that a little fishing trip might be good THERAPY... Whatiya THINK!

Am I Fishing Jigs Wrong?
x2 on answers above plus, if your waters have a soft muck bottom, the short compact profile of a jig is much less effective than a T rig with a slightly longer profile when casting and dragging.

Flippin The New "db" Rage Craw!
LOL, I like the detailed question answer sessions... and responses Shane has covered the differences well in his info. This design was produced to keep all of the claw action directly behind the Craw and with less arm flapping motion out to the sides. The arms stay right where they are and all 4 of the claw appendages flap extremely fast with the outside 2 being at different speed and intervals than the inside 2... I call it Harmonizing, so A-Jay and Brian are following a similar thought process too It's actually providing 2 different flicker rates within the same bait action design. Comparing the DB Craw to the original Rage Craw can be best described as the DB is "More Compact" in it's swimming action. The claws move basically the same amount of water because the total amount of flanges provided on the 4 flappers are equal to the original 2 on the first design. The big difference is that these 4 flappers are designed to work in the backwash of the baits body regardless of the speed of fall or retrieve. With these claws remaining behind the body, it makes the overall action less obvious or SUBTLE compared to the original Rage Craw. It's a fact that the total DB Craw design moves less water than the original Rage CRAW, because the DB arms stay behind the Craw body making the claws swim in the backwash of the craw body or jig... if used as a trailer. The original RAGE Craw was designed to allow the claws to move outside the body width in order to find CLEAN unused water which provides the wider stance or swimming action, disturbing more total water in the overall design profile. Denny and I started with this basic thought... Make a Craw that is more compact for flipping, punching or trailing a jig that can still maintain great flicker rate or flapping action in the backwash of the bait body or jig. The DB Rage Craw was Born! So there you have it and sorry that the explanation is so lengthy

Came Close To Falling For Her!
Yep that's a BIG Green screen of water behind me and there are plenty of those lovely ladies if we court them to their liking Our Tx waters are still producing at times, we just have to get lucky now and then! Know what I mean
