Great article, thanks. I might buy some jigs now.

LMAO!

Follow this link to request that your provider (DTV, Comcast, ETC) get WFN: http://www.wfn.tv/demand/contest.php Make a phone call or two as well, what do you have better to do? Actually work???

I have the stalker, and I love it. Only problem is, as big as the bag is, I still have way too much stuff to fit in it...

You should keep the bullfrogs you catch and fry up those legs...

The Shad is the best of the Rage Tail line, as far as I'm concerned. It outproduced every other rage tail product I've tried (though the anaconda was close...). I still have not gotten a single bite on the Space Monkey though...

Sorry to post again... Found this one where LMBass control the Bullfrog tadpole population better than any other method... http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/09/0928_040928_bullfrog.html Quote from the article on page 2:

OK to follow up, I found an article on how bass learn to differentiate between different species of tadpoles. Some species the bass will reject, some it will readily eat... It is just the abstract of a research paper, you have to pay to receive the entire study... Interesting though...

It's an interesting subject, but I wonder about why a bass will spit out a tadpole, but eat a frog. If it is a secretion causing the bass to reject the tadpole, I wonder why that secretion is not kept when the tadpole grows into a frog. I also wonder why some bullfrog tadpoles are eaten when others are not. I've seen bass both eat taddies as well as reject them... I would hazard a guess that much like many frogs and toads, it is not a bodily secretion exactly, but a quick expulsion of bodily wastes that turns the predator off. My dog loves to grab those little brown toads, but always spits them out and shakes his head afterward. Every one of those toads do exactly to my dog what it does to me when I pick them up - urinates when it feels threatened. I wonder if that is it instead of the secretions... Could be either or, I suppose. If anyone can find a scientific reason/explanation, it would be appreciated... All that my google searches turn up is anecdotal evidence, nothing definite...

You can't beat a Bagley's Fat Cat for imitating a big bullfrog tadpole. Check on Ebay, there's always a few on there.

The reason that bait is so expensive is the discontinued color. Bagley collectors are a little nuts, and they will pay big bucks for patterns that the Bagley Collector Catalog lists as rare. They have a scale from 1-10, 10 being the most rare... There are a few 10s that have gone for over a thousand on ebay before...

That's also a pretty fair price, from what I've seen some Zoom cranks go for.

Gamakatsu makes these too, I think they call them Jobe hooks. I bought the Gammy version, and have been using them for a long time.

Are they any good? I've seen them at the store, and thought they looked even sillier than the Yum Dancin' Eel...

I believe Gander just slaps their name on Strike King Buzzbaits and Spinners... They're OK, but I prefer the Cavitron also.

I have several of them, don't know when they came out, but I got mine at Gander a couple of years ago in a Bagley promotional bin along with a ton of Fat Cats... I really like using the double line tie, especially right about now at the beginning of Autumn.

:-X

Thank the Lord that Football Season is upon us!

My Gander had a ton of spot removers in the clearance bin for $2. Grabbed them all.

My #3 Mepps Fury is still a go to bait.

I have moderated for a few political forums, and it was a pain in the @$$! Drama, whining, outlandish requests every five minutes... It was a burden.

I really like how bandit designed the bill and the slope of the lure's 'forehead' to interact getting the most out of the lure's depth capability.

I keep trying to PM, but it is hanging up on me. I haven't played Mobsters yet, but can start. I'm lvl301 in MW though. Since I can't PM, Here's my homepage send me a friend req and we can join forces and take over the world, lol. http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/AvalonJohn?ref=name

I requested to join... I won't Mafia Wars spam anyone, I promise.

I didn't know there was a Bass Resource Facebook page! COOL! I'm there. And Mafia Wars is killer for passing time at work...
