Man I hate it when someone CAN'T READ! 8-) That was a good story and was well written to where it STATED that it was a joke......READING MADE EASY FOR DUMMIES by JT BAGWELL...LOL.. ;D

i missed the artical and a good laugh, ive read that glenn had to delete it and read the apology in its place but is there anyway i could read the original  for a good laugh?  just curious.  thanks.

Sad to think though how people have become soooo dependant on 1 bait.  

Lots of other brands out there that offer the same catch ratios now also.  Gary was certainly the first but.........

Ask yourself.."In my world, Is it the car or the driver that's winning the race?"

*cough* no he wasn't

Sinking Slugger...

These baits just might be the best-kept secrets along the bass tournament trails.

The Sinking Slugger is the perfect blend between a soft-plastic jerk bait and a salt-laden "sink" bait. Its special "hinge" makes it work like a jointed lure for added action.

George says: Rig the 6" Sinking Slugger on a 5/0 offset worm hook and watch it cast like a bullet. Cast it beyond visible cover and, using twitches of the rod, work it right up and through the cover. As soon as it clears the target, "dead-stick" the rod, letting the bait sink out of sight while "feeling" the fall. Get ready for action.

A Salty Old Veteran Comes Out Of Retirement

Back into the Larew line-up by popular demand is the Sinking Slugger.

Talk about a bait that was ahead of its time, the salt-loaded Slugger has been out of sight for a while, but not out of mind. Fishermen familiar with the fish-catching abilities of the bait have been begging for a reintroduction now for over a year.

Finally, the engineers got out the molds, dusted them off, made a few manufacturing improvements and put them on the injection molding machines. As a result, the Sinking Slugger is back on the market.

The Sinking Slugger comes in two sizes, 4 inch and 6 inch. Both are heavily loaded with salt, a process that Larew originally introduced and patented.

The weighting of salt causes the bait to sink parallel to the bottom, but there's more to its fish-catching secrets than just that. The Sinking Slugger has about a half-inch oblong hole molded into its middle that gives the bait a limber action similar to that found in jointed lures. There's also a slit designed to hold the hook and make hooksets easier.

It's a combination that makes the Sinking Slugger a great soft plastic jerk bait. Both the 4 inch and 6 inch sizes come in a variety of fish-catching colors ranging from Watermelon to Smoke Blue. And all contain garlic scenting.

Kana,

You might still be able to read "Most" of the article here

That is from the Inside Line forum, but the guy purposely left off the

last paragraph (which was the one that said it was a joke).

Remember, it was a joke!!!  ;D
