Advanced Member Posted 16 May 2004 - 10:45 PM  It'll be about 3.5 oz when I get it wet! Nathan, it looks outstanding, as expected! I know this is a little big for most, but do yourselves a favor and order one of the smaller 'Rodents', they just plain catch fish. Thanks again Nathan. #3

Check out Nathan's site. The 3" is under $20. More then affordable. These things are durable and quality made! Here's the link to the Rodent.

Hey Guys, What's more important, a 20.00 5 gallon can of gas or a bait that will outlast and produce more then that 20.00 5 gal. can of gas. That Rodent will be one of your most cherished bass baits in your tackle box. It's worth every cent and by far more exciting then that 20.00 5 gal can of gas..

Ooops Taylor, Please forgive me for selling. Not intended. I was really trying to be light hearted and funny. I can't tell you the secrets, that's up to Bettencourtsbaits. Sorry if I offended you. George

DB, I'm getting a little off topic here, but you have to remember that some people don't just make baits as a hobby, for some it's a living.
You can't expect someone to just release their secrets to everyone if it could affect their income. A lot of people on this board have learned by first buying a bait made by another manufacturer then they disect it and build one of their own. Once someone else releases those secrets, there isn't much that can be done about it. #14

Not to be flippant DB, but if i absolutely had to know, I'd buy one and dissect it. Yes we all learn from one another on this site, but we also respect an individual's particular creativity and problem solving, particulary on such unique lures.

Delta Boss: There is being respectful and then there is being rude. I would call your attitude "pushy" and you should ask yourself if you would request information from someone in person the same way you requested it in your posts from Nathan. You may want reflect on the fact that these forums are voluntary, no one has to post anything if they do not want to and you demanding it under threat of:

Nathan,looks like you have been hanging out for too long with Toby at Funny Farm! Where and how do you guys come up with these ideas? I thought the rodent crankbait was a winner, but this rat is something else. Please keep us posted as to it's success on the water. Keep up the good work, Joe
