Hey guys thought I d share my experience with the Big Foot
I just got a sample of them ... the 3.5'' and the 4'' .. I tied the 4" up last night on a 3/16th oz weight tx rigged. Went to the local lake fishing from show where they have good weed growth but not surface, most is subsurface but some barely touch the top. So I tied one on later in the evening and caught 4 fish. Nothing of size yet but its a nice bait!
I used it two ways: One way was to crank the reel quick every second which gave a VERY subsurface natural frog kicking motion to it... CRANK CRANK CRANK CRANK.... like 1, 2, 3, 4, ... quick spins on the reel with a very slight pause in between.
The other way was fishing it just high enough in the water column that it would make a wake on the surface. Any of you who burn a spinner bait you know what im talking about! Not buzzing on the surface but just below where the kicking still breaks the surface water with the kicking motion. So used like a buzz bait.
I must say, I would love to flip this bait by wood and fallen trees, I think it would make a great subsurface bait to swim down the trunks.
Even though the fish werent much of any size they INHALED the bait! Every one, i was amazed how much the bait was in the mouth when I got them in... THEY WANTED TO EAT IT! Never missed one either, 4 hits 4 fish!
On a side note also, I have been on the fence about switching all my baits to CCM plastic and I must say I am very impressed! and after getting to put it to the test with the Big Foot I really like it!! Doesnt slide easily down the shank and doesnt tear easy. I only had one sample but thats all I needed! I love it! I also have bought a gallon of Med and Hard and love it so far!
Nice work Jason, thank you for all that you do and keep it up!
