Rigging rubber made easy. - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

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.

Thats cool, good idea

Canalman · 03-15-2006, 04:59 PM

Its extremely easy. Now if we can just keep lunker city from copying our idea

. You can push the needle through and right on center in less than 2 seconds. I can't wait to start fishing these things

Raven · 03-15-2006, 05:35 PM

the easier the better....

but still i'd like to see /hear how you plan to rig them from hook to leader length and all choices thereof...

since we have the time still....during winters last breath....

pretend your going out tonight...

Canalman · 03-15-2006, 05:46 PM

I'm sorry but... huh?

Canalman · 03-15-2006, 05:47 PM

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.

Raven · 03-15-2006, 06:00 PM

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

Steve K · 03-16-2006, 10:13 AM

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.

DRUMCORPFAN · 03-16-2006, 10:20 AM

nice job guys, will see you at your booth for a bulk purchase.

I've seen the things up close and tried the rigging needle it is a great idea and very simple. It's a winner.

RIJIMMY · 03-16-2006, 11:46 AM

If I bring some of those pink ones homes my wife is going to eb wondering about what I am really up to

beamie · 03-16-2006, 12:10 PM

I don't get it

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

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

Canalman · 03-17-2006, 11:17 AM

They are new... but they swim... There will be no doubt when you get one in the water abouth their "bass tempting prowess"
