> …US-based Sycamore purchased 7.5 mil shares, which represents 19.23% of total shares and voting rights. Pure Fishing owner is now the 2nd-biggest owner of Rapala VMC? …but I believe that is the SIMMS Bugstopper SunGaiter.Ħ. Here’s high-tech Buzz talkin’ up the 5 units deal to low-tech Woody: Got any thoughts pls lmk, love to hear ’em. Seems like tech prices USUALLY drop after a while (TVs yes, phones no) so hope it’ll happen here. Complexity and time needed vs fishing time, cost – gotta turn around. For us regular fishermen, except for folks who really like all the complexity, my 2c is it’s a direction that won’t work. Does that mean fewer screens or fewer bigger screens? Or a heads-up display headset instead? Who knows, but my bet is it’ll happen.Ĥ. So my 2c: That trend has to/will turn around. More complex is not a good direction for pros or in fishing in general. So now – or for now – they need 5 screens.ģ. They don’t put things on/in their boats that don’t help them (always my point about them all running HydroWaves), and will change out anything on their rigs (cables, props, baits, etc) if they can find something that does it better. So they’re doing it because they need it to compete/win…in some cases.Ģ. 5 units, 3 different brands, learning 3 operating systems…is that efficient? Nope.
Either way, here’s the deal: No matter what name’s on it, that bait catches fish.īeen chewing on this a little because it doesn’t make sense to me. If you wanna get all Garrett Paquette and weigh out every component across a big sample size to find out if that’s “true” or whatever, cool. Here’s what I can tell you, from the folks who have made BOTH baits: The baits are identical – construction, plastic, hardware – except for the hooks. PSA: Every time I mention that an Xcalibur XR50 was used and that it’s the exact same bait as a BOOYAH Hard Knocker, people say it’s not the same. If you didn’t the current would take the A-rig on down the river.” > Mickey Beck (8th): “The secret was that I had to use really light A-rigs and I actually had to cut the blades off. > Blake Hall (6th) on the ‘Trap: “…doesn’t vibrate as hard as some of the newer ones and I think that helps in the cold water. Everything I could catch was on purple and white.” > Brennan McCord (5th) on his non-red color choice: “I couldn’t get bit on red this week. I know it makes a difference but I don’t know what about it makes a difference.” > Ethan Green (4th) on the Frittside 5: “I could throw it in the same places he threw and I could get bit and he couldn’t. > Sloan Pennington (2nd) on the One Knocker: “…it’s easier to work through the grass and I can feather it over it. Some good tidbits in the writeup, good job Richard Simms and Justin Onslow (do more of these!): Why anyone would fish a “fire craw” Hammer mystifies me man…Ĭrankbait = 20% – Berkley Frittside 5 (candy apple red craw), KVD 1.5 (chili craw) Lipless crank = 80% – BOOYAH One Knocker 50% (3 Rayburn red – 1 an XR50 – royalty, gold shiner), Rat-L-Trap 30% (goldfire craw, Cali craw, BER Trap), Jackall TN 60 :īladed jig = 30% – JackHammer = 20% and all had some red/orange on ’em. You’ve got a 20-acre area that had bass on it, but this super cold weather has put them in a 1-acre depression on that 20-acre flat.” > “…this really cold weather has taken the fish from these vast grass flats and put them in small depressions on those flats. That’s a beautiful prayer my man and congrats! He mostly fished an Azuma Shaker Z lipless (aztec color) but also caught some on a bladed jig that looks like a JackHammer: I prayed that I wouldn’t doubt Him and I would keep my faith, and this right here is the answer.” Then…barely choking back tears Washam said, “I don’t mean to get emotional…. > “Losing that sponsor put me in a bad spot – I’m wondering how I’m going to afford to fish this year,” he told the crowd.
TN’s Jimmy Washam took this’n home with 15 for 58-05.
