New Product Report
Sliding Weight, Hooks and Baits
While
at the Tackle shows, I ran across a new product that really
intrigued me. This product is a new way to rig a crawdad or a worm
that gives the bait a life-like realism. It consists of a weight
on the hook shank that slides down the shank as the weight or tail
of the crawdad drags on the bottom. Then the tail or weight
releases and the tail straightens out shooting out a little stream
of silt making the crawdad react just like a real crawdad does.
Telling you in words does not do justice to this new rigging
system, you actually have to see this system in action to believe
it. Sliding Weight, Hooks and Baits has an animation of the
crawdad in action on their Home page, you can view this animation
by clicking here.
After
playing with this rigging system in shallow water, I was able to
get an idea of what it looks like while fishing it. The tail would
drag on the bottom and then release shooting out a little spurt of
silt and the tail would shoot out straight again just like what
that a real crawdad does. The Sliding
Weight, Hooks and Baits crawdads are specially designed to work
with the sliding hook system. The weight has 2 little clips that
you clip the tail of the crawdad into to give the crawdad the
life-like realism. You will notice the hook guard that comes out
of the tail section and goes over the back of the crawdad making
this lure practically impossible to hang up. The crawdads are
life-like and come in several different color schemes.
Several of the staff will be using
this lure and rigging system in the coming months and we will be
doing a Product Test Report on this rigging system. Be sure and
watch for the Product Test Report.
These Sliding Weight,
Hooks and Baits products can be found at Backlash
Tackle.
