I would have to agree hows it feel to pick on a teenager? Does it make you feel more manly? Seriously though I think it might be one of those times where the line has been crossed. I can take a razzing but Spencer should not have too especially from grown men.

I think it's best that you guys hug it out.

Spencer, you have been on here a while. I'm sure you know how it works. Guys get picked on for good reason or not. Don't worry about anything Sparkles says, he is a big stupid dummy. I was really hoping everyone was over the whole "sensitive" thing. Oh, and as the elected king of the SRP club, I would prefer all comments directed twards boosting Mr. Hobb's ego get my approval in the future.

Sparky,

I doubt YOU hurt Spencer's feelings. It is rare that any one understands a single word you say. It was the posts you replied to that were over the top. A grown man should be able to take some ball busting but unless some kid starts running his mouth he shouldn't have to take that kind of abuse.

Lighten up guys. It sounds like some of you want Spencer to live in a world where he never learns humility, or how to laugh at himself.

I think if Spencer digs deep, there is a lesson to be learned about women. Hot women, similar to pro fisherman, like subtle compliments. They don't want to hear how great they are. They already know they are the best. They do not enjoy wiping your drool off of their feet.

You see....as much as you think we're all trying to tear Spence down, we are actually just trying to ensure that he has a ton of success in finding a hot wife.

In my opinion the best way to compliment a pro fisherman, or a women for that matter.....is to simply ask for their opinion. Granted the Professional fisherman is going to give you a much shorter answer than the women.....that is unless the women is out of your league. In that case her answer is going to be incredibly short.....

All I got from that is that pro fishermen act like a bunch of women. "OMG, did you see Dez's blue jump suit? Thats like so 2008!"

To get back on track, has anyone actually read the product description? Here it is. Evidently the bait does glide. I can't imagine them boldly claiming that the bait glides back and forth if it fails miserably at it. Seems like a technique sensitive bait. I'm sure if Tag told me a TW swimmer can do a 180, I'd call him a liar and a cheat, but thats really just my inability to operate the product.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After spending 18 months in research and development and accounting for over 2500 bass during testing, Power Tackle presents the Lateral Perch. Not a swimbait - it’s the most realistic jig ever created.

Made to sink on its side like a wounded bream. On the fall with a slack line, the Lateral Perch sinks in a dying spiral, and on a slightly tight line, its specially designed head causes it to glide back and forth, making it irresistible to predatory bass.

It's soft plastic tail trailer is also extremely realistic, complete with thin, lifelike fins - for subtle added action, and the Lateral Perch is constructed using only the finest components available, including a 6/0 Owner hook, as well as an innovative weighting system in its artfully designed head. Available in multiple sizes and colors, the Power Tackle Lateral Perch is proven to fool bass - with a deadly action all its own.

Suggested Applications:

1/4-oz and 1/2-oz - for depths of 5ft of water or less, including shallow cover and boat docks.

Also offering unreal skipping capabilities. Remember when you were young and skipped flat rocks on the water? Now you can skip a bream on its side with a hook in it.

3/4-oz and 1-oz - for depths of 5-10 ft in medium/thick cover, grass or trees; or 10-25 ft on rock piles and ledges.

BED FISHING… 1/4, 1/2, 3/4-oz Lateral Perch, your choice, based on weather and depth conditions - you'll be amazed.

1-1/4 oz and 1-3/4 oz - for depths of 10–25 ft in Hydrilla, or all other depths of matted vegetation. Bass cannot take the darting and gliding of the Lateral Perch under the mat.

When you stroke or hop another bait on a ledge, it will just fall straight back to the bottom, when you stroke the Lateral Perch, it glides up to 3 feet to one side, and triggers the most violent, line jumping strikes ever witnessed.

this sounds vaguely familiar to the banjo minnow.

i didn't think you were attacking spencer I figured you were relaying constructive criticism that you had received before

and finally the comment from me was directed at craig and not ron

Got mine in today from TW they are a bit smaller than I anticipated. Although they are only 4 inches long, they aren't nearly as tall or wide as I thought, and the hook looks huge on them too. Probably worth getting a few to take a look at yourself.
