    Angler Watches LIVETARGET Lures Crawl across Rock!

    LIVETARGET Crawfish Crankbaits

    Springdale, Arkansas-An angler fishing Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas reported to fellow anglers, newspapers, and TV reporters that he saw four life-like lures crawl across the top of a rock while out fishing early Friday morning.  "I was just out fishing and I saw these life-like lures just come out of the water," he continued, "they crawled right on top the rock and was sunning themselves; till that bass tried to eat them."  The angler was able to get a photo of them with his cell phone before the bass attacked them.  "I just cannot believe how life-like those lures looked; that bass chased each one of them...just like a LIVETARGET," said the angler.  It is unknown at this time if any of the Crawfish made it out alive after being attacked by the bass.  No doubt, we will be hearing more about these sighting as other anglers have reported seeing Shad, Smelt, Golden Shiner and other life-like lures being attacked to newspapers and TV reporters.

    The LIVETARGET Crawfish Crank (www.livetargetlures.com) is a ‘fat style’ crankbait with an accurate profile and anatomical details of a fleeing crawfish (Orconectes Propinquus).  The ‘fat style’ is reminiscent of the extremely popular original Wiggle Wart.  When Storm lures was purchased by Rapala a number of modifications were made to the original Wiggle Wart that changed the action.  Some say for the better, other say that the original Wiggle Wart crankbait action cannot be duplicated.  For proof, just look at how much anglers are willing to pay for the originals on eBay.  That is where LIVETARGET Crawfish Crank ‘fat style’ crankbaits come in; they have that distinctive wide wobble swimming action and soft deflection with accurate recovery that fish cannot resist.

    Sexy Spoon Fishing With Professional Angler Mark Rose

    Strike King Sexy Shad Spoon

    I give up!  I mean, what else can I say about the Strike King Sexy Spoon that already has not been written.  I love the articles that cleverly play on the word sexy.  You know the ones.  Do you really think that a slightly, curved piece of metal is sexy, tantalizing, lifelike, seductive, curvaceous, or large and in charge?  No way!  The Strike King Sexy Spoon is simply a spoon designed especially for catching fish when they are located on off shore structure.  No one professional angler has profited more by using the Sexy Spoon in bass tournaments than Mark Rose from Marion, Arkansas.  Truth be told, part of the resurgence in the popularity of big spoons can be directly related to Rose’s success in bass tournaments.  Rose’s technique for how and when to fish big spoons is anything but sexy; however, the results can be very exciting.
