Ok, your the one with no brain cells that talk to each other, let me
explain why below
I've really got to wonder about those two other bream fisherman who
managed only two catches to Rod's bucket full. Sunfish need only
something remotely edible in their face and they'll inhale it - they're
fiercely competitive and stupid. I just love a 10'cane pole and a rubber
cricket. FWOP! ... GULP!
I always "thought" the same thing, but during this test, this was not
the case. I always "thought" if you couldn't catch a bream, there was
none there,, it seams that this is not always true. I was just as
shocked as everyone else. That's why I do scientific testing, You can't
assume anything, you must take out variables, like the time of day, or
even the spot your fishing, all test are head, to head, and side, by
side, even switching which fisherman is using what rig.
Then they are done over, and over, and over, and over, with all the
numbers recorded,, I do what you or other fishermen can't do, or have
the time to do.
Hell, anything will catch fish, at certain times, I search for what
catches more, every time. If one of my terminal tackles is just "as
good" as what's already out there, not worst but just as good, I don't
have a chance in hell to get any manufacturer to pay me thousands of
dollars to license it. Do you actually think these manufactures just
take my word, that mine is better, then whip out their check books. If
you think this, why don't you try to come up with some new lures, and
get a manufacturer to license them from you ??
These companies invest many thousands on bringing out a new product,
even if they come up with it, there is no shortage of new product ideas
out there, but these guys don't "pay" "outside inventors" for snake oil
and gimmicks,
Most of the real gimmicks are brought out by "new" companies, or the
inventor themselves forms a new company to bring them out.
And wasn't it two or three years ago that we heard these very same
claims about that Boomer thing?
It still will out fish any other soft plastic rig, in head to head
fishing, it has never failed,, maybe it's just my expertise with it, as
I can make a soft plastic do anything, but sing with it, so far I have
NEVER been beaten in the same boat, with another bass fisherman that was
not using it.
It is true people who won't take the time to "learn" how to make a lure
move, won't do as well with it, as it takes the lurer's action out of
the manufacturer's hands, and put it into the hands of the fisherman. I
guess it is possible for someone to totally try not to catch fish with
it, and they won't. The Boomerang can't be machine gunned, and out fish
other rigs.
The Boomerang was just marketed wrong, they were trying to sell soft
plastics, and using it to do that. People were bringing the kits back
claiming there was no bungees in the kits, and getting more kits (for
free), just so they could get more bungees (there were only three in the
11 dollar kit and 5 in the 25 dollar kits. It also required at least a
ounce of weight to make it work, most bass fishermen won't throw that
much lead, for any reason. The "New" SpecTastic wiggle rig requires only
3/8 Oz, and even a 1/8 Oz will work when using the patented drop shot
wire on the weight.
