BO KNOWS!

Side trivia, did you know Bo brought Powder Coating to the lure market?

The hook set is usually the selling point but I've actually done whats in the video.
Only I let it drop off branches kind of like a pitch presentation but you can get to areas hard to reach with a normal pitch.
I'm checking to see if I can get a Pink one, truely, I think a hatchling falling out of a tree is very common. Probably at least one out of every nest.
You know the bass are under or close by.

Just thought I'd share.
If I remember correctly, I believe Pro Reel brought this to my/our attention.
Thanks Kevin and Shawn.
If I'm not mistaken, Bo's a member too.
Thanks Bo!

Lil, I wasn't being facetious, I'm serious and I still have my Bose...there just NO water under the bridges this year.
Kieth, believe it or not , I actually pitch intentionaly into the snags, above and below the water.

These things just have given me the 'NO-FEAR' confidence.

I seriously lost only ONE all year. And being new and being my ever doubtful self, I literally tried everything I possible could to get one snagged. Times in the beginning I think I spent more time trying to loose one than trying to catch a fish.

I got stories believe me.

The one I lost got jammed between two rocks. I was shore fishing and I knew the rocks were there. My intention was to loose a jig. The rocks were under and by a downed whole tree, a Maple. You know how those things spread.

I had to cast from shore, along the shore if you get what I mean It was a long cast. These rocks were jagged and just guessing, through the times I've fished it the tree along with it's cohort rocks have eaten probably twenty jigs.

I'll be da**ed if the very first cast didn't catch a bass. Not small but not huge. So I only had an hour, I was doing a little homework for Billy, I think I PMed him on it. So I'm tossing at this tree. If I got it back I'd throw it closer. Now realize, I wasn't doing like Bo did in the vid. but I was hanging branches all over the place...no luck, the dang jig kept coming back and coming back.
I mean if I felt it hit rocks I would stop reeling and slowly drag it in an attempt to snag the dang thing between two rocks. Finally gave up I had a funeral to get to and I took the infamous last cast....sure enough... the rocks finally ate one. Now understand, if I was in a boat or could even change my position or angle, which I couldn't, I would NOT have lost that jig!

It really is a jig like no other. I have as much confidence in rock as I do with football heads. You all see what they do to trees.
Anyway, just sharing.

As sometimes wood against the bridge pilings.
