Bait reminds me of those John Carter aliens…
…and here’s how Google translates the above:
shimmer each of the parts is doubtful in water, just like rubber jig it demonstrates the dazzle effect.

> 3/8-oz PowerTeam Lures Bull Nose Jig in the DMP craw color tied on 20-lb P-Line Fluorocarbon with a Gary Yamamoto Twintail Grub in motor oil color as the trailer. [I assume that’s a Double Tail Grub, don’t see a motor oil??]
– David Walker talkin‘ ’bout now vs 10 years ago. More:
> It changes from year to year, but 75 percent of Walker’s earnings come from winnings and the remaining 25 percent are split up between tackle company sponsorships and consumer show appearance fees. Ideally, David would like to reverse this and become less dependent on tournament earnings as his primary revenue stream.
Wait…did we know this already?
According to BassFan.com, a recent court filing by Pickens’ son says that Pickens invested $10 million in FLW in August 2010 – which, if you’re keeping score, is about a year after FLW owner Irwin Jacobs lost most of his boat companies, including Ranger…which is now up for sale again.
Pickens is a zillionaire and into many things, most notably the energy biz. What does this all mean? Who knows, but it’s interesting.

RE: 7+ smallie!

Hey Jay, that 12 lber I caught on the PTL jig and yammie trailer… yes, it was a “double tail” and yes, it was motor oil. I’ve had that particular pack of grubs for a few years now, and I believe they stopped offering the double tail in motor oil a while back, hence why you are not seeing it available in motor oil.
