Talked to Al at his booth about the new lure.. I sure hope it swims along the surface as well as he says it does...
Jigging produces often and large. .but nothing beats watching one come to the top and explode on your surface lure..
I spoke to Al over the phone two years ago. I called a number on a lure box to order a catalogue and he picked up the phone. I wound up talking to him for 10 minutes or so about the fishing here in NY etc. We had a couple of laughs...he was certainly a straight up guy and very knowledgeable. BTW I love the Gags poppers because you can work them slowly (because they float) and they make alot of noise and throw good water. I can remember one of the most explosive hits I ever had came while using a gags. I heard a "pop" at 3am but couldn't see a thing. I blindly threw the gags out there in the direction of the noise...popped it once and let it "sit" ......1......2.......3.......4....WHAMMO!!!!!!! This bass took off like a rocket peeling line off the reel..... Thats what its all about! And you thought poppers didn't work at nite.... BULLDINKIE...
