Dow  and Bekki Cox,

 

I ran across some of the Rattle Head Baits at the Bassmaster Classic in Shreveport and bought some because they were so different. Never did I realize how well it would catch fish. On March 4^th, one of my employees and I went to one of our home town lakes, Millwood and it tied on one of my favorite spinner baits. The fish would hit the blade, but would turn lose, so I stopped and tied one of your 3/8 tandem Colorado Spinnerbaits, on the first cast a 2 pound bass hammered it. We caught 40 bass that day, the largest was 5 pounds. I’m looking forward to giving the jigs a try and seeing how they work out, Thanks fro making a great product!

I caught some good ones on the Rattle Head football Jig at Amistad during the BassMaster event but did not have a camera. These were caught on the Arkansas River using the Arkie style jig on 3-19-2009.

This is the pictures from the tournament on 3-14-2009. All fish were caught on a Rattle Head spinnerbait from you guys. We wouldn’t have cashed a check if it wasn’t for Rattle Head Baits!!!

We also had big fish for the event!

A 5.1 lb. Spotted bass caught during a Bass Master Southern Tour on Lake Lanier, GA. It was hooked in 12 feet of water while Burning  a Rattle Head Spinner  on a main lake point. The spot tie for big fish for the 2nd day.

Hey Dow just thought I would let you know how the Rattle Head spinner Baits has been winning me some cash the past couple of weeks.  On May 17th we finished 6th out of 150+ boats in Minor's marine tournament on Douglas lake in TN. www.minorsmarine.com,all caught on your half ounce double willow leaf spinner bait.  On May 24th we finished 1st in the USA Bassin circuit tournament http://www.usabassin.com/modules.php?name=Divisions&id=77 on Cherokee Lake in TN, all caught on the half ounce double willow spinnerbait.  Thanks for making a quality fish catching bait.  I always have a couple tied on.

Got to come home to East Tennessee on 9-1-2008 and do some fishing with the owner of Rattle Head Baits and his son. We were fishing 1/2 oz Rattle Head Jigs in 8-20 foot of water. Dow caught 4 and I caught 1, his son got to net all 5 keeper. After the 5th fish,  his 5 year old son said, we are ready to go weight them in now. Had a blast! Going home and work on my jig bite, missed several.

While fishing with a friend on a local lake in East Tennessee, we caught the fish above and placed them in the live well to take photo’s. One of the large mouth came from deep water and needed to be fizzed. We videoed the procedure for air bladder relief and the link is below. As a General Rule on a Large Mouth,  from the pectoral fin go back 3 scales and up 1. On a small mouth go back 1 and up 3 scales.  The needle needs to be long enough to go 1/2 way through the fish.

Back40Outreach (www.back40outreach.com) held it's 4th annual fishing tournament on Guntersville Lake in Guntersville, AL.  The tournament is a format that consists of 4 sessions each lasting 4 hours (3 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday).  Over the years I've caught fish in the tournament.  I've been happy through the years catching 3 and 4 pound largemouth.  I was in second place after 3 sessions.  During the fourth session Jon Bondy suggested I use the Rattlehead Spinner bait.  The Rattlehead proved to be more than adequate for the type of fishing we were doing.  The weight and durability of the Rattlehead made it easy to pull through the grass while dropping it off the ledge.  The first fish I landed was this 6.36 lb largemouth.  This lure was irresistable to the fish.  The shad were convinced, the bass were convinced, even the 2 pound crappie that couldn't stop itself from taking the bait was convinced.  I went on to catch a 4 lb largemouth and a 4.5 lb largemouth all on the Rattlehead.  I caught over 15 lb's in 4 hours because of the Rattlehead.  This win secured a victory in the tournament with a total of over 27 lb's. I would highly recommend this lure to anyone serious about bass fishing.

Just wanted to let you know my clients and I have been using your baits with great success. Your buzz bait rules and the 3/4 oz. spinner bait has become one of my favorites.  All these baits are well made and hold up great. Your moving hook keeps fish from throwing the bait resulting in more fish in the boat. Thanks for making a quality bait with a great design. I always have one tied on in my boat.

Rattle Head Bait's Pro Staff Jon Bondy places 2nd in FLW Stren Series on Detroit River
7/23/09 - 7/25/09
Bondy’s climb ends at second

While Harrison weighed his fish, Jon Bondy of Windsor, Ontario, occupied the “hot seat,” which is a boat seat near the stage from which the current leader watches his challengers weigh their fish.

A full-time guide on the Detroit River, Bondy knows the river system as well as anybody. He used that knowledge this week to make a steady climb up the leaderboard, from fifth on day one to fourth on day two to second Saturday with a 19-9 limit that brought his three-day cumulative weight to 58-12.

Bondy found a weedless area in Lake St. Clair that measured about one-half mile in diameter and that was full of gobies and gizzard shad. He used Gulp-soaked tube jigs as his primary bait and backed them up with Rattle Head spinnerbaits, which he also soaked in Gulp juice.

Reflecting on the tournament, Bondy said, “The cooler weather has the fish a week or two behind where they normally would be. But I’m happy with what I did here this week.”
