Sometimes writing about a certain given subject isn’t so easy. Everything seems to all to often, lead into another thing without so much more is a random thought entering my brain. Lets take for instance the thought of fishing related magazine articles; there sure is allot to choose from.

Just yesterday, I ran across two magazines with interesting reading worth mentioning. I’m sure there is plenty other great things I missed elsewhere but, these two articles are our focus today. One thing is for sure; when I page through a magazine and find reference to or an article about a bait I use, I’m ecstatic about it. In-Fisherman and Bassin’ both had great issues this month and the two articles that were great to see in print.

Feb. 2009 In-Fisherman article by Gord Pyzer. Giant Gators Galore! page 53

Seeing the Scrounger get referenced to in this article was great. It’s just more proof the Scrounger works, this I have known and talked about for two years now. If the Scrounger can produce so well for Gord Pyzer for these giant Pike on his trip to Kesagami Lake, imagine what it could do in your hands. Gord has aslo supplied photos of big lake trout caught using the Scrounger months before through the wintertime ice.

The Scrounger Jig makes swimbaits extra special. The action of the jig alone is enough but, when you add your favorite swimbait, it’s magic in the making. These giants and this article are just scratching the surface of what this lure can do.

Quite a few guides report increased crappie and Striper using the scrounger jig. I personally have used a scrounger and caught Lm/Sm bass, crappie, pickerel, perch and sunfish and have seen pictures of catfish caught using scroungers. They even work for saltwater species of fish. Add your plastic bait and go fish it once, the most interchangeable, universal or versatile jighead on the market by far. The bait can be what ever you make it; skirts, hair and any kind of plastic can be added as a trailer to build a bait that works for you, for any species of fish.

What kind of fish do you catch using a Scrounger?

Feb. 2009 Bassin’ Special Issue “Bass Baits”. 50 Best New Baits page 21

The article references 50 new baits to be on the lookout for this year. There sure is some great new baits listed in this article and I respect their opinion but, I can think of a few other lures that could have been mentioned or substituted. There is only one product listed that I currently use and I only see a handful of lures that look to be a significant improvement over something already available to anglers. The one product listed that stands out for me is the Ragetail Anaconda.

The Rage Tail Anaconda was released last fall and to describe it in a few words, One Excellent Worm! The Anaconda in either a 7″ & 10″ length is available in enough colors to trigger that bite on a lake near you. The Rage Tail lineup of baits by Strikeking has changed things across the board for plastic baits, and the Anaconda is just one of them. Be sure to give them a look, the Rage Tail lineup may have just what your looking for.

Do any of the baits listed in the article make a difference to you? Do you think they missed something?

Better Bass Baits – Case Plastics Catch Bass!

ThePrincipal — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 00:24:29 +0000

It was years ago when I first came across a lure called the “Madtom“, by Case Plastics. Looks just like the little Stonecats we used to gather in the river as kids for bait. Since then, Case Plastics has continued to produce more and equally effective soft-plastic baits for bass anglers. The “Jacks Worm” by Case Plastics is imo, one of the best smallmouth bass baits you can find anywhere. For those spending a ton of money each year on senkos for Largemouth bass, Case Plastics makes a “Magic Stik” that has an almost identical fall rate, it’s loaded with salt and best of all, it’s close to $2.00 per pack CHEAPER! For those spending alot of time wacky-rigging senkos, you should see the “Wacky Jack“, this bait is made just for that application, and catches loads of fish.

That’s just the start of a long list of soft-plastic baits, Case Plastics has to offer anglers. A quick visit to the Case Site and a stroll through the list of products will certainly blow your mind. So many baits by one comapny. Each bait is great quality and reasonably priced.

If you never heard of Case Plastics, now is the time to take a look.
