I went fishing this morning and couldn't buy a bite on any of the usual stuff.  While digging around for a spinnerbait, I noticed the Knuckle Bait in my box and realized and I hadn't tried it yet.  I bought it on clearance a long while back, read a bunch of terrible reviews, and forgot about it.  But I tied it on today and it absolutely killed... with the dinks.  I went from nothing to landing probably 10 1-2lbers in probably 2 hours, and I was catching them all over the lake.  I just threw it to the bank, gave it two turns of the reel, killed it for a second or two, and then gave it another two turns.  I guess they had never seen anything like that before and just went nuts.  

 

I will say that it got hung up constantly.  It was like a wood magnet.  Much worse than a regular spinnerbait.  I spent probably 30-45 minutes of those 2 hours trying to free that thing.  

 

I don't know if I'll try to replace it when I do eventually lose it.  But it made for an interesting day.  I almost hate to try it again, because if it does well next time, and actually lands some sizable bass, it might be hard to replace since it's been discontinued for a while.

I have to be honest and admit, the first thought that popped into my head after reading your post is that, “this proves bass are dumb creatures with pea-sized brains” - lol ?

 

Sounded like a good trip overall, though. Nice job

I've had 2 of them, one I was given and one that I found. I can't honestly remember catching a fish on either and I don't know if I still own them anymore.
