Triggerfish tryout

bassinbob · 04-03-11, 07:52 PM

Went to the local pond today to try out a few new items. First was the new triggerfish. Used 30# braid and a St Croix med/fast 7ft. rod. Took just a few minutes to figure out how to make the lure work. It does pretty much go in the direction you want. This thing will be a ton of fun once it warms up and the topwater bite is on. I steered it close to a couple trees and it worked just fine. Worked it along the shore. You can make it come close to shore and go back out again.It does swim on its side as intended to. Just make sure you have a lure retriever if you get it hung up learning to fish it. Second was the new Argon dropshot rod and C14 reel. Thought I had drop shot items in bag but didn't so just tried a senko wacky. The rod feels great with a lot of sensitivity. The reel seemed a little stiff to wind but they paired up beautifully. Third was the new Cayenne reel from Okuma. Wanted to try to use it for pitching but too much wind as it was starting to rain. So I tied on another senko. Casts a mile and is very smooth on the retrieve. Oh yeah caught one bass on a mepps.

I got to try my triggerfish also. I have to agree that it does what the video shows. As recomended, it will work best on calm water. I had a light chop and was able to zig zag it. but if it caught a wave, it turned on it's own. This is going to be great around docks.
