fat boys ?
« on: Feb 11, 2011, 12:03 AM »
I just watched my dvd that came with my vexilar and noticed that they swore by the techni glow fat boys.

i looked back a few pages and didnt see anything about these at all , are they hyped by them just because of the sponsorship ?   has anybody else used these with success ?   just curious because i got a couple to try this weekend and havent seen anything on here about them yet , and this place is almost like the bible to me ha ha
-Truckin , Huntin , and Fishin , That's how I roll

Ha Haa Haaa  Did that hurt right away ???

I have used these for the first time this year & my results are good but it's not like the "magic" lure or anything. I have caught perch, bass & even a decent pike (on accident). I still prefer to use the Swedish Pimples over the Fat Boys though.

They like fat boys because they show up real good on a flasher, and you don't have to turn the gain way up to see the jig. I don't need to see my jig all the time as long as I see it when I jig it a little bit, and know exactly what depth I'm at, that way when a mark shows up at least I know it is bigger than my jig.

I have used them for a couple of years now in the smaller size, seem to work just fine like the fellows say they are not magic.

i absolutely just love fatboys. my main bait for 2 years running now. I found that if the fish are finicky, you will not catch many fish on it at all, but when there aggressive, whole different story
First time ever having a good day!
