    Clint, yes I meant exactly what I said. I could say alot about what you have said and accused me of without even knowing who I am or what I stand for or even do for a living. But, I won't. Suffice to say if you really knew me you would not be saying any of the things you have accused me of being or standing for.

    To the rest of you who have answered this post in my defense, Thank You. People like you are the only reason I still read this forum and occasionally post.

    Ya'll have a good day.

    Ok I stand corrected. Knifemaker did post. While i was fighting with littleriver. Knifemaker I shouldnt have called you names. Sorry. You however dont know anything about these lures or you wouldnt make a ridiculous statement like that. Im sorry for the name calling. Took that too far. Got all wound up about this subject. Noone knows just what this lure will do. Including me. Wiping out broodstock however is a little extreme. Im pretty certain that most practice catch and release anyway. Have a great week and ignore me. Im irish,scottish, german hillbilly. My mouth engages before my brain sometimes. Im done here.

    Really Clint?

    I believe it its the personal insults and name calling injected into your argument that Mark and Double are referring to. I suppose it is a good tactic when your all out of rational, fact based arguments for your side of the argument? Attacking the person with abusive insults to discredit them, rather than the subject itself, has no place here and is not welcomed. It only serves to discourage input from everyone on an open forum like we have here. Is this your intent?

    Vic

    Ok dont forget you asked for it. Its not only my right as a citizen of this country, but above all that, my GOD given right to state what my opinion is. So now that we have the first rational thought out of the way. Lets get down to the business at hand. If you make a ludicrous, unfounded, uneducated remark about something you have no knowledge of I believe someone should let you know about it. I doubt seriously if many of you that have commented on this subject negatively have ever caught your first fish on the a-rig. If you had used this new technique you would realize that your comments about it wiping out broodstock are completely unfounded. Which brings me to the point that I made in previous posts that the anglers that are getting this outlawed in tournaments are exactly like you. Ignorant. Not ignorant in math maybe, or spelling, or even how to cook, but ignorant to the lure. You are a hypocrite my friend. You make outlandish statements on your side of the argument, and expect everyone to high five you. I however being a fisherman in every sense of the word know the truth. I have fished this lure for over three months. I can back up what I say, mentally,and physically. I fished it today. We caught eight fish. Really wiped out the lake. I realize that you being from TN are a little butthurt because you cant use an a-rig with five wires. I hate that for you. I speak from experience with the lure, not maybe, or what if, or any of that jazz. I make lures for fun. I have a business that I run that pays my bills. I fish about 15-20 hours a week in the winter, and probably double that in the summer. You my friend have no dog in this fight, and no reason to speak. You dont have the first clue what fishing one of these rigs is like. So your facts are bullshit at best. You dont know a damn thing you havent read about this lure. If I discourage you from saying something unfounded and ignorant I would think you would appreciate it. Only the people that have used this rig should even comment about it. BASS knows dick about it. FLW beat them to the punch. I had already commented on that subject, and moving right along ive wasted thirty minutes on you. Get a real job, get off the internet, hell go fishing. Do something productive with your life. Fighting with me will only bring you mental anguish. If telling the truth is not welcomed here I understand. The funny thing is KNIFEMAKER hasnt replied once to me. If he has a problem with what I said im sure hes a big boy and can handle it hisself.

    The real question I have about the A rig is not rather the pros should be allowed to use it, but should anyone be able to use it? In My opinion this new rig is going to have serious reprecussions when it comes to the big brood fish in every lake it's fished in. Does it work? Absolutely, but at what cost? If this things fished by the average angler starts leveling the playing field to where anyone can consistantly catch bigger fish and more fish, what kind of impact will it have on the brood fish? I'm not talking about the huge lunkers in the pond, but the brood fish.....those between 12"- 15" which is what I've always read and heard is the prime breeding size for female lgbass. If you start taking out more fish you will have less fish overall for everyone.

    I have real concerns that this may actually harm any lake, stream, or pond it's fished in for this very reason. More fishing pressure = less fish. I'm afraid this is what will happen over the long haul with the a-rig.

    Just my opinion but I think it's something we all should be thinking about.....

    Seriously. Did you really mean this. Holy shit. I didnt think liberals fished. I think we should be thinking about how they are fish. Not Navajo Indians. We can restock them. We do restock them. I make these freakin things, and ill tell you unless you know what to throw on one, and how to locate fish you are spinning your wheels. Its just like any other new bait. Yeah it might catch five once in your life. A crankbait might catch two at once. I guess we should ban yo yos and trotlines too. I wish there were MEN left on this planet with some balls, and some brains, with a good moral sense of direction. Seems like all we have anymore are a bunch of sissies. If you cant figure something out, try harder. If something breaks, fix it. When did we start being so gutless about everything?

    Here is the real deal. Most of the bait companies that sponsor bass probably dont make a version of the lure. So in turn they are losing their ass right now. So you tell your sponsored anglers that are on the team that we are going to vote against this thing and walah no alabama rigs. It pisses me off to no end. Or it could be like around here and guys that cant fish the thing yet are getting their ass smoked by the ones that can so we vote against it. I guess they need to ban side imaging, hydrowave, lure scent, low profile reels, and anything not carved from a whales tooth. Track the money and find the problem. Someones a little butthurt about losing money. If they ban them in the local tournaments im going to start bringing home all the fish I catch. So I guess lure innovation is out the window. If you make something revolutionary to fishing bass bans it. I am outlawing them. I will not watch them or buy their damn magazine anymore. Im so sick of premadonnas. Wow ive been waiting all afternoon to vent. Boy do I feel better.

  17. What Makes A Bait Want To Run To One Side

    Assuming youve spent countless hours building this one of a kind crankbait this is how I personally take care of the off center wobble. First I take the little sob that ive meticulously carved for hours, proudly admiring what a bait guru I am, and stomp the bill right off the front of the bait. Second I would take my little picasso off the floor dust it off and throw it up against a brick wall. Lastly and the most fun is setting it on fire, so noone will ever see the evidence of what was 1degree off on the lip. Hope this helps. I sure feel better.

    Corey dont get me wrong I see the advantages of your degree. Im not dissing you either. I like your style. You have the best of both worlds. I get incredibly frustrated thinking out the details sometimes and that is all I was getting at. It hinders me when I get too wrapped up in the what ifs.

    I'll be back on CNN before long, but oh well. Make my fish picture popular again. Love the comments diemai. On board with Mark as well. It all boils down to lobbyists and money. I promise if you track any of these regulations or laws you will find the culprit somewhere is monetary gain. Thats what weve come to in this country. Our governments state and federal are filled with high priced whores. I dont mean the kind you call in for. Im talking about the version that would sell their soul for a few bucks, and thats exactly what they do. If the men and women of this country would stop voting in these scumbags we might have a small chance. Look at Tim Tebow. You cant be christian or conservative without getting your head torn off. We should all call for the job of Bill Maher. Just seems like throwing a small stone in a big lake. Not enough waves. Good luck to you all. I will fight till my dying breath. Im on board for the charge. Its time David took on ol Goliath again!

    Its me again margaret. I need to find a supplier for bulk snap swivels. I have bought out wally world in two towns. I need size 5 or 6. I really like the eagle claw because they interlock. I want to buy like 500-1000 swivels. Im sick of running out. Tried barlows and netcraft. Dont have exactly what im looking for.

    Just my point exactly. We should make our government listen to us. Trust me, if a queer can show out enough to get em to change the constitution, a bunch of good ol boys can keep them from taking our fishing waters. We need to make a little more noise, and when its time to load up and go make a scene about it, we all need to ban together and get it done. We bitch and complain about everything, but i promise when it gets down to the nutcutting most people wont put forth the effort or inconvenience themselves to fight for something worthy. Been through a situation of a major magnitude and everyone pussed out, and left me stranded.
