Another amazing day though not numberwise. The wind as usual was a pain and my anchor was too light. But events made it worth killing my digital camera and nearly breaking the gas on/off switch on the 2.5hp. I cast a light lure near a weed edge in shallow water and it was like the fish had a...

Another phenomenal day considering the lake level keeps dropping. The tailless body did great catching 5 species! Mixed schools in shallow water kept me busy even with the constant 15 mph wind. It started out as a chartreuse with flakes, store-bought minnow with rear tail. I cut off the tail...

The first thing I'd do is cut off the front legs. I can't see them having much action that would support a strike. Plus, I would cast them with a tail and without. Recently I found that bodies minus tails get incredible strikes when twitching the lures in shallow water. Light jighead a must!

Dang! Moby Dick on a surface lure. Amazing!!! Near the bank no less!

Never has KK snapped which is why I haven't had to order more in quite some time. The 7lb and 2lb were caught on 8# test KK and light action rod. 3 3/4 lb bass on same Cast these small lures rigged on 1/32 oz jigs very well. All the fish shown in my posts were caught on it.

Nice catch especially way after my bedtime! I've been casting more swimbait tail lures and doing well. I'll bet the Zman has a great action. (Of course you could have made a wire grip using the method I posted not long ago to keep that or any lure from sliding down.)

Kastking has impressed me since I first cast it a few years ago. Great light strike detection, no twist casting no-twist lures, good hook sets on small and large fish using med. and light action rods never breaks regardless of fish size as long as drag is set properly.

I've been considering the possibility that live prey actions are familiar to the senses of fish, not that they know what a lure represents such as a species of animal. The pill action is not comparable to that of any animal that ever lived, same for the Beetle Spin or curl tail. The Shadow most...

Of first importance is action which is dependent on shape closely followed by how the lure is presented/ worked. Color can emphasize a lure's appearance and action making it stand out. Fish senses via the swim bladder, lateral line and ear, notify of the lure's presence; those senses and the...

Today was amazing just like yesterday. 144 fish in 2 days caught on lures tested and retested - many that anyone can make. The beauty of the ball head jig is the number of soft plastics that can be rigged and the overall versatility whether in heavy cover, shallow or deep water. One design blew...

Glad to see it's up again. Nice guys and great site design.

Was this site down for a while?

I draw the line when it comes to what fish supposedly know about lures. The real thing gives off whatever it takes for fish to sense it's an animal. Lures give off nothing close to what the real thing exudes regardless of the imitation. Coincidentally a few lures had movements similar to...

One last thing about why good lures do well vs many that don't. My theory: I fish's brain is like a combination lock when it comes to the strike. There are many combinations that unlock it. Those combinations include lure shape, size and action. This is applicable to ALL fish species and a good...

Excellent info about color underwater: https://www.fix.com/blog/view-from-below-lures-underwater/ What we see is not what fish see unless in gin clear water.

YOU ASKED FOR IT lol! Read my opinionated reply above if you dare! In any case: 1. Lure designs/ types that catch fish are UNLIMITED! (though some far better and more versatile). 2. Small lures worked the right way catch everything - especially on a slow retrieve with pauses depending on lure...

Dang, my age and its effect on memory is telling - I too am 74. What a coinc.! Talked to a gent today as I was getting ready to leave that was 75. During the conversation, I gave him my views on why and how I caught 34 fish in 2 hours using the lures I showed him. He has vast experience, having...
