A & M Baits - Dadz Craws
I usually don’t
write reviews of my Sponsors products because many guys will
think the only reason I’m writing is to “Kiss Butt” or
“Suck Up” to them. Well, you guys who know me, know that’s
not who I am, if it sucks that’s what I’ll tell you. The
reason I’m writing this is because of the way these baits
pulled us out of some tough times at The Lake of the Ozarks this
fall. As many of you know, the “Lake” kind of died this fall
and limits were hard to come by. We were struggling, like the
boys in the B.A.S.S. tournament did there in November, until we
gave up the typical fall “shad” pattern and started fishing
the Dadz exclusively.
It wasn’t until
we managed to catch a rare “keeper” on a Spinner-Bait and
seen a huge crawfish sticking out of her throat that we put two
and two together. The fish just weren’t going to go to the
back of the creeks and coves to bust the schools of shad like
they’re supposed to. They were sitting at the mouth of the
coves and were gorging on crawfish. That’s when we started
dragging Dadz in these spots and everything changed.
We were fishing the Mossback colored Dadz on a 3/8 oz. pegged
Texas Rig and a 5/0 E.W.G Mustad hook. We were getting 10-15
bites a day and almost all of these fish were keepers. They were
eating the bait so good that we had several fish swallow them so
deep that they almost bled to death. We just kind of dragged
them back to the boat in a Carolina-Rig fashion and they were
pounding them.
The Dadz have a
wide tail that prevents them from settling into the chunk rock
and allows you to pull them through rock you normally wouldn’t
be able to Texas rig at all. These are good sized baits so you
won’t be getting a lot of those annoying dink bites you seem
to get so many of in the Fall and Spring. I think this is one of
the reasons we caught as many keepers as we did this Fall. Dadz
are a very realistic looking bait and the colors Mossback (my
favorite) and Bronzeback (also killer) perfectly match the
colors of the crawfish in Missouri. Their claws are just the
right size to prevent the fish from picking them off as so often
happens with other crawfish imitators. They also come in colors
such as Black/Blue, Red Shad, Neon Melon, Okie Dadz and
Watermelon Seed for you guys that just have to have your
favorite colors. Oh, and Dadz are 100% American made, salted for
taste and marinated for smell.
We just picked up
A&M Baits as a sponsor during the early Fall so I haven’t
had a chance to Carolina Rig them yet but I anticipate they will
be awesome at the “Lake” this Spring.
You can get Dadz
Craws From the Link on Our Sponsor Page or by going to www.oklahomabassfishing.com/dadz.html
or by calling Annette at (918)-689-9221.
They put some
good checks in our pockets this Fall and I believe they will
help your fishing as well.
See Ya,
