finishing off my Keitech advertising, ill show you this awesome video from their site. it shows a Model I jig with this “Custom Trailer Large” which you could compare to any chunk trailers, but the difference is in the action, which you’ll see in this video. the action that the skirt and trailer have together is AMAZING. check it out..

heres the Keitech FAT Swing Impact, which Keitech suggests for use with their jig in my previous post. the color shown is Bluegill Flash in 4.8”, which is only one of their 16 color choices. they also come in 2.8”, 3.8”, and 5.8”.

Keitech Model III swim jig. Keitech is a Japanese company that has started spreading here in the U.S. as well. Picked up one in each of its colors (the black pictured, and a smoke blue crystal skirt as well) in 1/2 oz. Haven’t fished em yet but from what i can tell by reviews, these things kill it. I love the baitkeeper feature and its designed for use with their 4.8” FAT Swing Impact as a trailer. Check em out, or at least look at Keitch the next time you’re looking for some tackle. They have soft plastics, swimbaits, jigs, and jig-heads.

These are even better than my previous post, grabbed these from Tackle Warehouse, but had actually used them prior to purchase. They are the Stanley Ribbit Hot Feet Frog and come in a couple of colors, garlic scented.

just got a pack of the Berkley GULP! Batwing Frogs in black. i love them.
rod tip up - they glide the surface of the water with the legs kicking and displacing water remarkably well.
rod tip down - they sit about 3” - 12” (depending on hook weight) below the surface and the legs kick with AMAZING action.
and as always they come soaked in Berkley’s nasty smelling (to us) juice which the fish just CANT resist, even if they try ;) try em out for yourself, they come in a variety of colors.

The retrieve shouldn’t be so predictable that it’s identifiable. Curious. Not quite identifiable-yet at the same time, at some point, barely catchable. Calculated magic.Doug Stange (editor in chief In-Fisherman)

I’m beat down like a man who’s been pickin’ tin cans out of a highway bar ditch in the hot Texas sun.

this is an awesome story about a blown trailer tire, BoatUSAngler coming to the rescue, and ending the day with an 11 pound bass.
