And I'll tell y'all another thing......
If you need your bait to go to the bottom, they have these things
called weights that you can use that will do that for you, they are
smaller than a comparable size rock. Now you know my secret............

You know, you gotta wonder about these infomercials.

I'd be curious how many people here, among those who post regularly
that is, don't know about presentation and technique.

Nah - all you need to do is follow instructions. You know - like give
the captain time to grab the leader so you don't lose big fish at the
boat.

Stuff like that. :)

What kind of idiot would not give the captain tim eto grab the leader?

Why do I feel like there is a story behind that.

Yeah, and it starts and ends with me... I saw a great big fishie,
would have been the biggest fresh water fishie I ever got. So when he
got right next to the boat I pointed the rod right at him so SW could
see him better to, er, um and him... Bye, bye, fishie;(

Reminds me of being in the Gulf, out from Tarpon Springs. Biggest salt
water trout I have ever had on a hook. I was shaking with glee, told
my friend Bud, when I get it up to the bow, reach down and grab the
leader and swing it in the boat. Well, we all know that trout have
weak lips...... Bud grabs the leader, swings the fish not INTO the
boat, but whacks it on the side of the boat........goodbye fishie,
indeed!

I hate to tell you this, but I very very rarely fish, and even I
wouldn't do that.

And as you know, I can be rather "intense" about things like that.

Trout fishermen - sheesh. :)

It is all in how you jiggle the bait.
