It's a great bait! I t-rig it with a small (1/8 oz) bullet weight on 12# flouro.

That's great! You should ask him if you can take some photos, I'd love to see his tackle and the home-made mounts.

Great tip Paul! FYI, if you or anyone else has any bad photos that they want retouched/color corrected send me a pm.

... Recently I was swimming a jig and watched a fish swim up and bump it and swim off and my line did not move and I could not feel anything. If I wasn't watching I would have never known. Scary isn't it? I once watched a steelhead respond to a fly in an interesting way. The drift was on the money, and the steelie responded, but only by intercepting the drifting fly at the very tip of its snout, with mouth pretty much closed. It held the fly by the tufts of fuzz it was tied with, for only a moment, then let it go. That kind of response is essentially imperceptible. But the trout now knows that that fly is "not food". We have a worthy adversary, don't we.

That was it, Uncle Homer was the angler in that film, yes, it showed a bass englufing a bait and spitting it without getting hooked in the process. Yeah, I saw that and was shocked! I couldn't believe a fish could eat a crank and spit it out without the trebles sticking or the angler noticing. But that is the truth, I think we all miss a lot of strikes and never notice. Recently I was swimming a jig and watched a fish swim up and bump it and swim off and my line did not move and I could not feel anything. If I wasn't watching I would have never known.

WOW!!

I bought a lure retriever last year and haven't hung up a crankbait since! Murphy's law at work.

Post of the year!!

I don't know guys, looks like a wind up bath toy with hooks to me...

I don't want to see your feet!

Awesome! But too small.

I have bought a bunch from Cadman Great quality, great service, great guy. Seriously, you won't be disapointed.

I would love to see photos of your work. FYI guys I'm a graphic designer so if anyone needs help designing a logo/decal send me a pm.

Seriously, someone should make shirts: "I buried a 5/0 EWG hook in my skin and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." I did this over the summer, through the nail and the skin and out the top of my finger:

Oh I already tried it and caught a few fish with it. I'll keep fishing this beat up one but I wanted to I.D. it so I can get more if I lose it. Thanks again!
