I believe he invented a way to make them ingest rad coolant. He sold the business about a decade ago to someone in the US and I never saw them again. The garlic infused ones worked 24/7 on walleye and bass. As for glow in the dark lures..no luck yet except for catfish. |

When they get here, I'll be eager to try them out on the largemouth bass at the lake. They stay really deep this time of year and it's hard to get their attention.

You don't even eat them right? Aren't they like carp? |

Not here with Native Bass its almost exclusively catch and release they fish it for the excitement they are a powerful fish but not really eating quality. |

It seems to help them see the bait at night for cats. Fish are naturally curious about any light at night,. I've also cut a small slit/pouch into rubber worms and inserted the little glo sticks in them and put a rubber band around to hold it in when the Bass hits. I use the nearly clear/translucent worms so the stick lights up the whole body. Also in winter, most fish slow down in the colder water and dont hit those large worms , but they will still knock the hell outta rubber grubs, roostertails and small Cray/frogs. Here in LA(lower Alabama) we have catching a bunch of RedEyed Largemouths! I know, they all have yellow eyes! but the last 5 years there have been these RedEyed LargeMouth Hybrid Bass showing up and they fight twice as hard and 3 times as long. A little 5 lb`er fights like a 10 lb`er. I caught 6 of them over 5lbs yesterday in the Choctawhatchie in about an hour.

Corexit? Not Corexit. They are a hybrid between the Large mouth Florida and a small mouth. They are rare and started out in the Coosa River . For some reason this last year the Choctawhatchie and its creeks have been slam full of them. I used to throw them all back because the State and Auburn University both said they were very rare. This year I have caught at least as many with some red in thier eyes as the yellow , so ive been eating the hell out of them. |

I have been eating Bass, cats, and bluegills at least twice a week for the last 35 years and have a clean bill of health, other than broken neck 2 years ago. ;) |
