Hey guys, I came across a youtube video and they were using the "fishing snake".?.?.?

Has anyone used it or heard first hand of anyone liking this???

I saw it on an infomercial once.....but that's about the extent of my knowledge.

This is the first Ive heard of them. Just searched 'fishing snake' on the BPS website and got 2 results. Theres a 16 inch worm that has a snake-like look to it made by BPS and then there was one by Luck-E-Strike that was an 11 inch ribbontail worm. I like the look of the 16 inch one but it seems kind of big for the waters that I fish. Thinking Im gonna try some 10 inch Anacondas first and see how I do with them.

They've been around for decades. Google Doug Hannon's snakes.

IMO, save your money.

I am guilty as charged. d**n infomercials!!! I have not completely given up on them since I fish in the everglades, and I have seen little snakes swimming around sometimes. However I have not caught any monster bass yet. I have had more luck and monster strikes by simply using a hollow body frog.

Considering they aren't doing any good in Florida I don't think it's worth trying them in New Hampshire.... LOL

good call

I bought the Snakes a few years back. They swam good, were durable and weedles. I didn't catch anything, not even a hit. I only fished them about 1 hour total time though.

The snakes are a big bass lure. And just like fishing any big bass lure, the most important thing is patience. You have to put the time and effort in to be successful.

If I was going to take only one rod and spend 6-10 hours on the water, fishing key locations and soley targeting big bass, then perhaps I would consider the Snake. I'm not that type of bass fisherman. Well, maybe once a year, twice at the absolute most. I have to find prime spots before I target big bass (10, 11 pounds and up) and dedicate my entire fishing day, week, month or months to it.

Catching big bass is harder than just throwing big lures.

See the forum Rules and FAQs:

I have a question about the Kicktail, Banjo Minnow, Doug Hannon Snake, Walking Worm lures, or the North American Fishing club

Do a search on the name. There's plenty of posts about it, which will answer your question.
