I agree Ron, for that price, you cannot beat the Orra in my book.

Ronald Hobbs, Jr. said:

While you guys are there take alook at the new Abu Orras the are amazing..... Seriously when I picked one up and played with it I thought in my head it would cost somewhere around the $200 mark, I almost dropped dead when I was told it retails for $99.99. It is crazy with the lower economy, the good companies are at a war of who can come out with the best equipment for under $100 from rods to reels, the Orra is proof of this.

Thanks Marc-

 

I have watched a few of the seminars and they were all great, Marc your seminar was very good as well, it was awesome to see how those Largies suck the whole crankbait in their mouths it was awesome! Definetley worth seeing, you really lit a fire under me to fish jerkbaits a whole lot more this year. The fish chasing the staysee all around the tank helped a little as well...

Marc Marcantonio said:

Hey guys, make sure you also catch the seminars.  It sure was cool to watch Ron work his various styles of jigs in the tank.  No other way can you see exactly how your rod manipulation affects the action of your jig, making Ron's tank seminars a must see!  I believe he repeats this show at noon tomorrow, and again on Sunday (verify this if you can, Ron).

 

I'll be at the Lowrance booth all day tomorrow and Sunday.  Stop on by and say hello.

 

ciao,
Marc Marcantonio

Thanks Ron,

I've allways used the Paca Chunks, but had no idea they made a tiny chunk. That is exactly what I was looking for! Big Bite has some real neat looking products that I might have to try out.

Ronald Hobbs, Jr. said:

Look at the Rojas Fighting Frog from Big Bite.  Paca has a tiny paca chunk it is tiny, you might want to look at that too you can thread it on your hook and it brings the claws in closer. Bite 3 inches off a 5" swim senko also a great trailer, don't use the smaller swim senkos the swim tail is too small and doesn't kick as much, I got way more, another good trailer from Berkley is their mud critter it is 4" but I usually bite a little off, it is way more subdued then the flapping craws but still has that good scent.

 Why is bigger allways better? Sparky can have his 3in chigger craw! I'd like to get my hand's on some 2inchers myself. In all seriousness I wish there was a bigger variety of smaller jig trailers out there. Smallie beavers work great as small trailers, but what about more erratic trailers in the small sizes. Anyone got any good links to any?

Sorry Joel I gave away a great bait, I spanked Bess on that thing at Tapps on the back of a weedless football head a couple years ago. I have to work on keeping my mouth closed!!

The paca's come in the washington craw color too, but I forget what they call it.

Dude no worries, just take a look at the reviews on TW=)  Thats how I found out about it last year=) I also did good with em on the back of a football head, the hot chocolate is a cool color. The Kriet tail worm is also a good bait.

So have any of you guys tried the berkley thump worm, retrived at a slow speed this bait has an awesome action!
