Carolina Chip mentioned on tv...

[RatLTrap]

I am watching Beat Charlie Moore, and he's having a tournament VS himself, and he can only use 5 lures, and he was just showing them his favorite 5 lures, and he was naming them off and he said "CAROLINA CHIPS RatLTrap".

Thought it was kinda cool..

[Carolina_Chip]

Thanks . It surprised me too. I am glad my wife had me working in the basement with the TV on or I might have been on the lake and missed it.

I tell you though... One of "my" favorite lipless baits is the actual RatLTrap brand. You cant beat a Chrome and Blue RatLTrap... Its the Bait!

Spray paint the bottom edge with day glow orange and they work even better. Remove hooks first.

It will improve catch ratio 50%.

For those of you who don't know, Chip makes the best piece of Art called a crankbait I've ever used. If you want quality, then Check out his stuff. And nope not sponsored by Chip, or any of his afilliates, that is just the plain old TRUTH.

chip, where u located? And what lake is that?

That is Lake St. Clair located in SE Michigan. Its a 25 mile wide little ocean that is between Lake Huron and Lake Erie. Canada borders the easter shore with Michigan on the west. Its is one of the greatest (voted by BASS) smallmouth fisheries in the USA. To win tournaments, it takes 20+ pound bags each day on this water. I wish I knew how to find those bags!!!

did you prostaffer put you on those fish?

Yes and no. Scott and I went out in my boat because his was at Ranger. The area we are in is a known smallmouth spawning fest, so I go there many times with many friends on my own. Scott did boat us out there on the day these trips were taken. ITs not uncommon to have 40 - 50 fish days! Actually get tired of catchin!!!
