an ode too..

the billed boys of winter..

and since they just helped make a boat payment from a tourny win.i figured why not spot light dem again..

i almost never take pictures during a tourny. so here are a few from my archive that repesent the baits used/abused..

first off the speed trap: one of the very few out of the box baits with full fishability. weather you use the 1/8oz -shown- or the 1/4oz size both simply rule the cool water shallows.it is a bait of legendary status for good reason. no tuning, no adjusting, no replacing of hooks.it is tough as nails-i never broken one-

the second the wiggle wart: i infact use an jlv knock off called a fatty shad II-i should i helped design it-in deep cool water nothing catches fish like the slow wobble these baits produce..

proof lies in evidence that having the newest "great" bait don't mean jack...having a beat up old bait that proves it produces means money in the pocket...

though i can not take all the credit for the tourny win-my partner has been on them for two weeks-3 of the 5 fish weighed in at the wildcat tourny were mine.he had big fish 6.57 pounds. we caught 60ish bass and started to cull at 8:30am..i knew we were having a "good" day on highrock when i culled a 3.2 pound bass around 1pm..

for me it is not so much about the money as the return to tourny hammering..

Good post Zooker. Nice to see your back in fine form again. Is the Speed Trap made by Bill Lewis Lure Company?

I thought I recognized that lure as a Lure Jenson, but the "trap" part of the name of the lure threw me, lol.
