Rodney's Latest Claims

"well it took the Senko 6 years, and it is a good lure, but nothing like this.""

Fish not biting? No problem! You'll never be skunked again, just wiggle your rig:

"I have fine tuned my wiggle rig to catch everything from bream to bass, and when they are bitting nothing else"

Not sure what he's saying here (but it's so funny I had to add it):

"My Boomerang was like the Write brother's flyer, or Apples first computer. They both were great acomplichments"

Leave all your other lures home folks, but bring an extra wiggle rig or two. You'll win every tournament you fish:

"The SpecTastic Wiggle Rig and lure is to fishing, like a Main frame, is to computing and the F-28 Rapture is to flying."

Words of wisdom from the man that reinvented the fish hook:

"NEVER TAKE ANOTHER'S BAR ROOM BET, you will always loose."

If there's a bass in your favorite trout stream, beware - you're about to catch it:

"The Wiggle rig is not going to be marketed to bass fishermen, but to live bait fishermen, trout, and pan fishermen. Although these guys will catch any bass that is near where they are using the rig."

But fret not fellow bass fishermen, because:

"You will be reading about it in all the fishing rags over the next year, and beyond, in five years you probably won't buy a rag without some story about it in it..."

-yup, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle every month - Field & Stream, Sports Afield, Esquire...

And if you thought bass fishing was big:

"This market is 20 times that of bass fishermen, and these guys just want to catch fish any fish, and they are not arogant, like many bass fishermen are."

ESPN, by the way, is cancelling BassCenter in light of the upcoming Crappie Saturday block of programs.

What seperates us (lowly) bassers from the livebait, trout & panfishermen? "their heads are not too big, and their brains so small"

It's so simple:

"The "new" wiggle rig is based on my learning what every editor fish will eat, regardless of the time of the day, regardless of the size of the fish, they all eat this in it's natural state, when ever they find one. "

Rodney's found the Holy Grail that lure manufacturers have been searching for for centuries. Lauri Rapala you should be ashamed of yourself:

"I just came up with a way to mimic the "natural state" of this food with a plastic lure of the same shape and size."

Yes folks, this thing's even gonna put the minnow guy out of business:

"We have fished it side by side everything from live bait to every lure you can think of, (it has out caught everything)"

And straight from the genius that's about to turn the fishing world upside down:

"When are you going to learn ?"

Ouch, that hurts.

Warren ;-)

Any problem with that?

I noticed Rodney didn't respond to me again after making clear his position on bassers in general. LOL.

My hooks and weight, that you called snake oil, that you made all the snide remarks about being trash, are highly recommended by the pro's, Hell my hook's Use was even taught at this years Bass collage, My weight was even in the "ask the Pro's" section of Bassmasters. Now I'm telling you I've changed fishing,, I've got something that catches everything, when nothing is bitting everything else. I would not have made that statement unless it was 100% true, it would be too easy for someone to shoot it down after "using it".

So now it will be three things that have been "PROVED" to help people catch more fish that you have put down to others,,, H'mmmm sounds like you don't want people catching more fish than you. Are is it your just can't stand it, that I was the one that came up with them.

As far as me improving the Boomerang,, hell man everything that has been invented you used today, is an improvement over the first one invented. You calling it a rubber band does not take away what this rig "does", and according the the U.S. Patent office I was the first one to ever think about getting that action with a high tech rubber band, or ANYTHING ELSE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was the first to get a lure to move with perfect vibrations, and you keep it in one spot, while it does it, no one else has ever come up with a lure that you could fish in one spot for hours, not some small accomplishment, as no one had ever done it. Yes I know it kills you that the principle was so simple, that "you could have thought of it", but the thing is, you didn't, and neither did any other of the millions of fishermen in the world, nor any manufacturer. There was a need for this application,, if for nothing else, bedded bass, anyone who has fished bass beds wants to "keep" that lure "active" "in" that bed, to say that's not true, is lying Warren, and my rig, is the only rig, that will do it

Now I have teamed the "improved" high tech rubber band, that is now the same dia. as 30# mono, only 4 inches long, yet stretches to 12 inches, at only 3/8 Oz pull, but is now 40# breaking test, with a lure that takes advantage of that High tench's rubber's action, to put in front of any fish, a treat, they will eat, at any, and every opertunity, when they find it, just like they do the real thing, in nature. I'm sure I, and others will find other lures that mimic other fish treats they can't refuse with this action applied to them, but why should we market anything over just this one, it works, it has worked every time, everywhere and on every species of fish, we have tested it.

Today I caught 17 bass, 24 blue gills and 6 stripe from the bank with it. nothing huge, because there was nothing huge there, So I used a 500 micro lite and 4 lb test, I had a ball

Six other bank fishermen on the same bank, fishing the same area, using both lures, and live bait, caught a total of 2 bream.

Warren, instead of the 6 tackle boxes of lures, and tackle I used to carry fishing,, everything I need now fits in my pocket (when I hang up and break off, is the only reason I need to or carry spare tackle now).

I don't expect anyone else to dump all their other tackle, and never use other things,, heck, nostalgia will keep them trying and sometimes succeeding with their old gear :-). Many people like to "cover" a lot of water,, you don't do this, with this rig, and still catch fish, so they will need their tackle boxes full, for machine gunning the banks, getting one bass in 20 to hit,as they fly a lure by, when the dinner bell has "not" been rung.

To be honest, this has only been working a few weeks now, (that's when I started testing it), I don't know how it will do in other seasons, we can only guess, but it works here, and it is working in California, right now.

Warren I asked you to call Larry and ask him,, Why have you not done so ? or are you going to call him a snake oil salesman, and lier ?

How about your friend, the Bassdozer, he has not seen this new rig yet (at least I don't think so) but he knows me, and knows I don't Bull shit about my fishing inventions

Note*

This high tech rubber band was not as simple to make as Warren makes out, the makers of "Spectra" (Honeywell) the outer fiber, that let's this rubber stand up to fishing, said it was not possible to make it work,, so did the textile company who braids it for me, So "I" had to engineer the actual way this is manufactured, and then pay them to try my way. TO their disbelief, it worked, and I patented it.

Those "in the industry" think it's a major break through in fishing, I guess "Warren" is the only one who matters though, since he does not believe it will work, I will just drop it. I mean it can't work if he says it can't, all the testing is flawed, just coincidence, Warren has always been right about everything in fishing tackle, he wins every tournament he fishes in, he makes millions a year in the industry, and every manufacturer ask him if they should bring out anything new, that he has not tried or approved for the fishermen of this country.

While I can't say one way or another whether your products produce or not. I know that I would not spend any money on your gadgets, simply because of your past obnoxious attitude. JMHO!

Oh well.
