Default Senko's

Yeah, it's great for kid's definitely too cause how great they work and how
easy they are to fish, and fish go nuts for them. It's funny how they work
too when no other worms work. We've tried the K&E's, the Slicks and others,
and none work even 1/2 as well as the Kelly although similar. You're right
also about the "Can't miss" as well, that trailer hook doesn't miss much. I
haven't had to many problems with the hooks but the kids have had a couple
of deep ones. The Hemo's are a must when fishing with the them. Or a good
Multi-tool with scissors.

I had no idea that the actual Brand of "Kelly" was sold nationwide, for I
know they are produced here in Fort Wayne, In., and I just haven't really
looked for them on my travels, I usually stock up before a trip and just
really haven't had a need to search for them while away. Thanks for the
info.

I'll tell ya though, there's something about that bait that just triggers
the fish, that bait is responsible for many many large fish that I've caught
and I'm hooked on it too, it got me.

Something else is the price, you can't beat the $1.50 a piece price tag.
It's amazing, I just bought 2 Rapala's and a Mepps Spinner bait, and it came
to like $19.00 yesterday. Everything goes up it seems. I remember buying
Musky Killers for $5.00 a piece, and now there $12.00 a piece in just a
short 6 years. Makes me work a little harder on getting those stuck baits
outa the brush.

Anyway,

Tight lines,

Doug



Doug,
The Kelly "Plow Jockey" is what I think you are referring to. It isn't a
bait only available in your area. I took and taught my kids to bass fish
with that bait 10 years ago in New Jersey. I've also seen it here in
Florida. I used to call it the "beginner worm" because of the 3 hook
(front,middle,end) design. Like a bike with training wheels. Basically a
can't miss hookup when you get a strike. Also not the easiest to remove
when all three are impaled in various areas around the mouth. I caught a
pickerel once on it and found that while getting 2 of the hooks removed
the fish shook and 1 of the hooks ( they are small) became a very deep
part of my finger. Had to perform surgery on myself at the boat ramp!
