You all must know what a PIA it is to get you rigging needle thru rubber bait properly. We think we may have made life easier for you. We have incorperated a rigging channel in our Rubber "Real Eels", just wet the needle and it'll slide in like butter. Hope you can see it in the pics.

Its extremely easy. Now if we can just keep lunker city from copying our idea :laughs:. You can push the needle through and right on center in less than 2 seconds. I can't wait to start fishing these things :happy:

I'll post a rigged one when I get home if that's what you mean. I'll do the whole breakdown. Stop by the booth at MSBA for a demo. :)

Nice idea... But unless you got the $$$$ to defend it, A patent ain't worth a crap. Just yet another example of how the little guy takes it up the stinker.

What the market is clammering for is an equal quality product to the Sluggo but cheaper and available in bulk. All other considerations should be a distant second priority for any potential competitor to Lunker City.

About 1/2 the people who fish soft plastics forgo double rigging them and those who do tandem rig them become proficient at passing the needle through the body of the bait in a very short time. The channel is a good idea - but its not saving a real lot of time for someone who is good at rigging.

Yea, but when you're marketing there's nothing like a little innovation to get people's attention. I see both SA and SH coming up with some great new ideas...if they can set the hook I'm not sure price will matter to some.

Joe... this bait is 14" long and with the narrow spots between segments, rigging can be tough... with this channel... it's really a snap. Oh and your samples will be going out shortly :)

Spence... thanks for the boost :kewl:

Looks like a great idea to me. I don't have much of a problem rigging sluggos but trying to rig a 13" ledgerunner is very difficult because the rubber is so dense.

I think "channel" might be the wrong word - think "tunnel" :hee:

Saw your new baits at TCTFN.Nice job on them. Did you guys fish them yet, or were they newly created this winter?
