i feel that one needs to be looking into what is being released into the air. of course, what is being put on the crops is a factor also.

Unfortunately skin cancer from sun exposure is common, we all have spent lots of time in the sun when we are young and naive, the damage isn't reversible. Cover up with sun protected hats and clothing and use sun screen. Bill Murphy, author of In Pursuit of Gisnt Bass, passed away from skin cancer,...

hey all of you california bassers. here is a pic of a 10 lber. that was e-miled to us a couple of days ago. the bass came out of bull shoals lake from the k dock area. it was caught on the NuTech 1/2 Elite brown and blue. you guys do not have the corner on all the monsters, but it sure seems that wa...

as pointed out, NuTech products are designed to be multi-purpose in application, and to be a better performing fishing tool.

the funny thing about fishing is that you can make it what you want to. for many fisherman, it is a recreation. a person can go at fishing anyway they want to. my dad's idea of fishing was to tie up put a minnow over the side, kick back, have a sandwich and beer, and hope nothing bothered the minnow...

Sorry Bo....we only make a fore grip on our Swim bait rods and I'm getting lots of emails and messages to take it off them too. The way most guys hold a bass rod, the fore grip is not used at all..... and this lets you get fingers right on the blank as well. Sorry bud!!! there is a rhyme and reason...

merc1997

do you make any rods with a fore grip?? i hold the rod in front of the reel with the line under the soft part of the thumb. it seems that every rod maker is doing away with the for grip.

it sure seems to me that their product quality has been going down for a long time. actually hard to get a bottle with one good trailer.

bo

still love to fish pork over plastic. just always seems to consistently catch big bass on pork over plastic.

i did not get any further than made in china. what part of, it takes people working here to buy your products, that manufactures not understand??

leave jobs here at home.

as far as wet cell batteries, and having sold batteries for decades being in the auto parts business, by far the best batteries are made by east penn. you can find these batteries under other private labels also including carquest and o'reilly. our warranty rate with east penn was less than 2%. what...

i have always believed depth and speed control to be the most important factor, and color can at times be a refining option. as far as how bass see colors, i have always felt it has a lot to do with the amount of ultra-violet present. since bass do not have eyelids, i feel that the amount of ultra-v...

football jigs just as any other fishing tool have a time and place. other jig choices make just as good of bottom contact, and also have a different vertical fall. fall rate is a critical key in triggering strikes,IMO. you have to let the bass tell you just how fast of either horizontal movement or ...

i am with old school about some of the things in the article. i had some of the very same barrel head (football) jigs from bill haddock back in about 1975. also, we had live rubber by 1976 and i won a fairly big tournament on table rock fishing with jigs tied with the live rubber. if i remember corr...

merc1997

we have the same type of situation in the winters here in the ozark area. here on table rock, bass will go deep in the winter following the shad schools. a jigging spoon is a prime weapon of choice. we look for areas where you do not ever leave the shad for at least 50 yards. then you just stay up w...

here is a link to a NuTech Lures product video showing the CrazyBlitz and other NuTech Lures products in action.

merc1997

For those that love bladed jigs, you need to take a look at the new CrazyBlitz from NuTech Lures. It incororates the Blitz football head for insane vibration and noise. Plus, you get to enjoy the benefit of being much more snag resistant, and better hookups for better landing ratios. crazyblitz.jpg bo

merc1997

still have time to take advantage of the NuTech Lures Labor Day Sale.

bo

merc1997

check out the insane action of the Blitz CrazyJig!!

bo

you need to watch the video and pay attention to the lake fork frog on the back of a 3/4 Blitz football head. all of you big bass chasers need to really take a look at this combination. this is a deadly combination.

From now through Labor Day, NuTech Lures is offering a 20% discount. All other discounts will not apply during this sale. This is a great time to stock up for fall fishing.

Wada Jigs are great jigs to throw on the delta and can catch some toads; just ask Cooch! I have had some great luck with the NuTech Jigs - Nujig up there just due to the fact that they don't get hung up in the rocks and tullies! I have lost a lot of really good jigs up there in the past and have ye...

i keep 6 to 7 rods in the boat, and never have more than 4 on the deck. if you can not catch them on 4 rods, you definitely need to go back the the drawing board and regroup. clutter on the deck is a distraction, and makes it difficult to not step on rods. a lot of bassers over complicate catching b...

NuTech has also introduced a CrazyJig with the Blitz head. The action is insane!!!

Bo

george if you caught them every time, it would not be fun.

Hello Bo, just let know when and where! You can come out and fish with me in central California on the delta or Clear Lake; (maybe we can get Vijay to come with us) or I can come out to your neck of the woods. We could even go down to Amistad and fish with Denny so we can challenge him to a fish of...

well george, how about fishing somewhere with you for a week testing out NuTech Lures products??

bo

merc1997

to answer your first problem, you need to grease the roller ball on the ends of your trim rods. your next issue might be hard to track down. first thing to do is turn on the key in a quiet place, and make sure the electric pump is running, and gets up to pressure and shuts off. since one time it too...

i have fished quite a few days straight on falcon when it was over 110. on the flip side, i have fished several day on table rock, when the high for the day never reached 20. the dry heat is nothing compared to a day here when it is 90 and the humidity matches the air temps. same can be said for col...

merc1997

first, i am assuming that this lake is clear. next, are the depths given on the map accurate?? just asking because the top of the hump you have marked shows to be 41ft. 41ft. would only work if the thermocline is that deep, but this early in the year, i would doubt that. your culvert shows to be bet...

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the 3/4 oz Blitz football jig is now here and available. We do not have it up on the website yet, but you can call or drop a note, and I will get you hooked up.

well, lets just make dynamite legal. after all it is an attractant. it attracts them to the top. for non- competitive fishing perhaps it is a non-issue. but, for tournament fishing, i think there needs to be a line drawn in the sand so to speak. i am with george. lets have a tournament that no elect...

Hey Bo, how is everything? Hope you guys are getting a little warmer back there! I would like to see a major tournament of the Elite guys or even FLW where everyone has to fish without electronics or devices of any type and see who comes too the top. I would bet it would be some of the good ol boys...

merc1997

this an very interesting subject. if we do not stop somewhere, we are going to take the actual human skills out of the competition. for tournament purposes, i am really not in favor of any electronic calling device,ie. devices such as hydrowave. bass tournaments used to truly be who had the best ski...

well, i can not speak for everyone that you might draw for a partner, but anyone that is an upright person will not have a problem with the issue. it is something that we all do

Pre spawn deep structure lake, what I always fish my hair jig with custom pork trailer....anywhere anytime!

Weelllll, hate to rain on the parade, but I have to say I was really disappointed in the NuTech jig. I bought three of them a couple weeks ago, and lost two of them within about 15 casts. I never took the third out of my tackle box. I bought the 1/2 oz and they just couldn't deal with the rocky bot...

merc1997

i would have to have a jig. a jig can be used to fish lots of other plastics, including senkos. jigs are not just for fishing a skirted jig.

merc1997

A couple of dowels to represent the mouth of a bass is a little far fetched. A bass inhales and then crushes it's prey so I doubt that a single weed guard would ever cause the bait to roll on it's side during hookset. The weedguard should never be stiff enough to do that. I trim alot of fibers out ...

merc1997

Great article, thanks Bo! I think most of us never thought about it that way but anyone who has caught a jig fish at fifty or sixty feet has to think those bass are that deep for a reason; and its gotta be food! I have been fishing the jig deeper and deeper this year and I just have to get it throu...

I was just reading an article about winter fishing out west, and a comment in the article made want to put some input to how deep crawdads can get. In this particular article a statement was made that you will rarely find crawdads below 30 feet deep. I would think that a lot of the deep clear wester...

Want to get into spooning for bass this coming year and was wondering if many of you guys do it. What spoon, color etc.... Can I catch fish on them in the spring or is it mostly a fall bait? Any help would be great. Thanks here in the clear ozark lakes, a spoon is a staple in the tackle box. it wil...

merc1997

interesting read. since we catch a lot of winter bass on spoons, i will give a little bit of what i know. we have threadfin shad here on table rock lake, and in the winter the fish get them gathered up in big schools. one of the best places to look is in the channels of the bigger creeks. on the low...
