jamie Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Dave its been awhile since ive been online, but when I saw this thread I almost fell out of my chair. In the past we talked about your bullrider and this secret was one I didnt think you would give up. Im glad you did and with a brilliant explanation.

littleriver Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Dave, Hats off to you sir..............I second Jamie's sentiment, ................"brilliant".................... Now that we know where the bull lives, riding him or her is another matter entirely. Thank you Dave!!!

BobP Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Very nice post Dave! To the extent I know about hunters after building a thousand lures, I agree but think there may be other factors in addition to lip length that promote or inhibit hunting. They use Cray supercomputers to calculate hydrodynamics on submarines and crankbaits are just as complicated. Hunting is not something I try to build into all crankbaits due to the tuning and tweaking involved and hobby builders should be aware that even if a high percentage (80%?) of a batch of baits hunt, there will be some that never will and a few you will probably never be able to fish. The waste factor can be significant and very frustrating. In a practical sense, I think bouncing a crankbait off of cover and structure during the retrieve performs the same function as hunting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
