the ragetail baby thumper proved to be the perfect bait for my dad last week. with his arthritis, he cannot consistently sink big hooks, especially with the spinning tackle he has to use. and in the stuff we were fishing, exposed hooks are out of the question. so i rigged him up with the baby, a picasso pro metal 1/8 oz. bullet weight, and the tiny but deadly owner 1/0 cutting point.

it was as if he'd magically lost 20 years as he connected with fish after fish on the t-rigged baby. the design of the bait means there is very little plastic to come through and the consistency is of the plastic allows hooks to easily penetrate without tearing up the bait.

i'll guarantee ya that for a few chaotic hours, my dad forgot he even had arthritis. when the smoke cleared, we had whacked 'em and stacked 'em to the tune of 50+ fish. and dad caught most of 'em. he said it was the best day of worm fishing he had EVER had. that encompasses 70 years worth of fishing, so that's a compliment of the highest regard to this amazing bait.

the baby thumper is the perfect bait for old folks, kids, folks with physical challenges, and newcomers because it allows for a big margin of error in the hooksetting department. in fact, with the rig i described above, you can consistently sink the hook just by reeling and keeping steady pressure on the rod. there's just not much that the baby can't do. for a few precious hours last week, it even turned back the hands of time. thanks for another wonderful memory Steve!
