Randy Howell Signature Series Do-It Molds

Over the past few years I have started to pour my own jigs and weights.  I decided to start this little hobby as a way to pass some time in the winter and stock up on things that I tend to lose a bunch of. Dropshot weights, football heads and shaky heads are things that I lose all the time. I have found that it is much easier to pour huge quantities at once and it also saves quite a bit of money in the long run. 

My latest molds from Do-It Molds are part of the Randy Howell Signature Series. They came out with a cool underspin and the Finesse and Magnum Shaky Head jigs. I chatted with Randy today for another article I am working on and asked him for the story of theses new molds.  It was interesting to hear the backstory and after chatting with him, it makes tons of sense.

Some Finesse Shaky Heads during my last pour session

The molds he put together with Do-It Molds are things he has been using for years with the help of one of his buddies who makes custom pours for him.  He brought it to the market with Do-It because he wanted a big shaky head he could use with a big baitcast rod and heavy line. It also had to have a big hook and land fish better than the rest of the shaky heads on the market. "The Magnum size is really the perfect setup for ledge fishing and power fishing. I'll use a 7.5" Yamamoto Kut Tail for the Magnum Shaky Head and for the Finesse Shaky Head I use a 5" Yamamoto Pro Senko or 6.75" Long Pro Senko. That long hook on both of them is just so much better for hooking fish," Howell said.  

He also talked about something that everyone who uses a shaky head has witnessed, they tend to lose fish. Howell claims that he gets much better hooksets the 7/0 or 8/0 Gamakatsu 604 round bend heavy wire hook.  The lighter finesse shaky head allows for a Gamakatsu 111 in a 3/0-5/0, which is just as stout compared to other shaky head hooks.

The other key to this mold is the recessed line tie.  "Most of the time when you break off a shaky head it is right at the knot and this solves that problem.  The design is also very weedless and goes through brush really well," he added.

Here are some specs on the two shaky head molds:

• Randy Howell Magnum Shaky Head Jig 
• Sizes: 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1 1/4 
• Hook: Gamakatsu 604 

• Randy Howell Finesse Shaky Head Jig 
• Sizes: 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 
• Hook: Gamakatsu 111

Fall = Smallmouth Time

The weather is starting to get cold up here in the Northwest and that means one thing: awesome smallmouth fishing.  Honestly October fishing up here is what I was most excited about when we decided to move back (besides family of course).  I went out last weekend and finally caught a decent sized smallmouth I have been looking for.  A drop shot is my bait of choice this time of year. 3/16oz Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Drop Shot weight with a 4.5" Roboworm.  I have been using 15lb Seaguar Kanzen braid with a 6lb AbrazX leader.  I don't think I will ever go back to anything else.  It's amazing, no line twist problems, better casting and more sensitivity.  I was worried about the knot strength but have caught a few 4-5lb largemouth and this smallmouth that was just under 4lbs.  No problems at all!

B.A.S.S. Northern Open - Wagy's Winning Pattern

Photo: Darren Jacobson B.A.S.S.

Qualifying for the Bassmaster Classic is a dream come true for most bass anglers.  So what do you do once you reach the goal?  For Josh Wagy, the win at last week's Bassmaster Northern Open on the James River hasn't changed him at all.  He was still at work today and said "it hasn't really sunk in yet, I haven't even had the chance to relax and think about the Classic yet," stated Wagy.

He is a local with years of experience fishing on the James River and this victory was especially sweet since it was in front of the home crowd.  Even though he is just 23 years old, he has been dreaming of winning an event like this for his entire life.  "This could be the break I have been waiting for, the push to get me closer to being a Pro," said Wagy.

His victory shouldn't come as a surprise to those who know him, he is a solid stick in the Virginia area and won the BFL Angler of the Year last year and is contention again this year after two events. He's also had more solid events with the BFL circuit and has qualified for the prestigious BFL All-American.  Josh has also been the National Guard Junior World Champion.  Needless to say, he can fish and has a big future.

At the James he relied on some old school lures and a simple approach in what he called "community holes".  The key was knowing the intricacies of the tidal water and knowing when to make a move.  His 19lb 11oz weight from Day 2 was amazing, even to someone with as much experience on James as he  has.  This was what sealed the victory for him.  

He fished the tournament with two main baits, a Lobina Lures Rico and a 7" Berkley Powerworm in Blue Fleck.  He fished the Rico on a prototype custom 6ft 3inch rod by JB Custom rods. The shorter design allowed him to skip the topwater bait under laydowns and other wood.  He fished the bait on 30lb braid and this was key as he caught several big fish in the thick cover.  When fishing the Power Worm, he rigged it with a 3/16oz Eco Pro Tungsten weight and 14 and 16lb Gamma Edge Fluorocarbon.  One of the biggest keys was using a JB Custom Rods that was 7ft long and was very sensitive for feeling the bait in the current.

Now that he won this event he must fish the rest of the series in order to qualify for the Classic, with the next event on the Detroit River in Michigan and the final event at Cayuga Lake in New York.  This may be the momentum he needs to qualifying for the Elite Series to go with his Classic Berth.

Josh would like to say thanks to his sponsors: Strosnider Chevrolet, ABC Building Supply, Gamma Line, Eco Pro Tungsten and JB Custom Rods.  "Without them, I couldn't do what I love to do and I can't thank them enough," concluded Wagy.

2 in 1 Review: Damiki Air Craw and Mausrin Jig

Damiki has been making a name for themselves for the past few years.  They came onto the scene a few years ago and are continuing to go strong.  Their partnership with FLW Outdoors, FLW Pro Bryan Thrift and several other key moves have shown the American fishing world that they are for real.  I have been using several of their baits lately and have really enjoyed fishing them.  The first two items I will be reviewing are perfect compliments for each other in my opinion.  The Damiki Air Craw and Mausrin Jig.  Both of these could easily be used with different terminal tackle or another soft plastic, but to me they are a perfect fit.

The Damiki Air Craw is a unique soft plastic bait.  Like the name implies it is a crawfish imitator, but the "air" is what really seperates this craw from all of the other crustacean imitators on the market.  In fishing this bait for a few trips, I have really come to appreciate the action the craws provide.  By having hollow craws that trap air inside, the effect is always a straight up defense position for your bait.  It was cool to fish this in shallow water and watch as you stop fishing it on the bottom, almost immediately the craws bounced right up and were ready to be eaten.

The shape, material used and compact size make it a great choice for pitching into heavy cover.  I could also see if being used on a Carolina-rig, shaky head, or even as a trailer for jig.  Another idea was to use it as a bed fishing tool for spawning bass.

It comes in two sizes, the 3" and 4" and seven colors.  As I said earlier, it is a great compliment for the Mausrin Jig.

The Mausrin Jig is an interesting concept for a jighead.  It is somewhat of a bullet shaped head design with a hook attached to a split ring.  Like another popular new technique, the Jig Rig, it causes a unique action as the bait is either swam back in or fished on the bottom.  I immediately thought it would be good for a craw imitator because of the erratic action it provides.  

It could also be used as an alternative for a shaky head as way to get a different action.  I liked everything about it, except the size of the hook.  I realize this is a finesse type bait but the hook was still pretty small.  It does come in three sizes and three colors, and in it's defense, the bigger sizes do have bigger hooks.  If you really wanted a bigger hook you could switch it out as the jig and hook are attached by a split ring. The colors are black, camo and brown.  The weight sizes are 1/8oz, 1/4oz and the bigger 1/2oz model.  No matter how you fish this jig, it will give you a new action on your soft plastics.

Overall, this was a cool new set-up to use and I caught my share of fish on the Air Craw/Mausrin combo. 

Scoring for the Damiki Air Craw

Price/Value: 3

At $5.79 for a pack of 8 or 10, it may seem a little high, but I feel it is worth it.  The baits do hold up pretty well.

Durability: 4

The plastic is a good combination of being soft yet also durable.  I was able to catch multiple fish on the same bait and not have any issues with the action.

Performance: 4

You can do so much with this little craw and the action is definitely something new for me (and the fish)

Innovation: 4

There are other baits that use air to their advantage, but I believe Damiki has perfected it here.

Availability: 3

Damiki dealers, a few places online and TackleWarehouse.com

Total Score: 18  - Good Buy!

Scoring for the Damiki Mausrin Jig

Price/Value: 3

They retail for $5.49 per pack of three, which is a little high for a small jig head.  I believe the action and quality components make the price justified.
Durability: 4
No issues at all.  The paint held up well after banging it up against rocks. 
Performance: 4
It scoots and shakes from side to side give your soft plastics a nice change in appearance.
Innovation: 3
There are so many new jigheads coming out now, but the innovation is still there.  There is nothing quite like the Mausrin.

A Video Review: The Pro Wacky Weight by Eco Pro Tungsten

I have been using the Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Wacky weight since they came out at ICAST and love them.  Honestly, there is nothing about it I don't like for wacky rig fishing.  It is a great way to fish a little deeper with a proven technique.  Two other things I like about it is the way the hook is positioned and the durability of the plastics.

What I mean by the hook, is that it is now positioned right for better hooksets.  I have used the o-rings for years and one thing I didn't like about it was how the hook runs parallel to the bait.  I have always thought  I missed some fish because of it.

The other thing I mentioned was the durability.  With the prongs on the Pro Wacky Weight, they are buried into the bait, almost making it one with the plastic.  It definitely seems to hold up a little better after multiple fish.

Check out this video I shot on how to rig a bait with this new system.

I just wrote a new article called "Advanced Wacky Rigging", you can see if on thefishnreport.com.

New Video - Big Bass on Lake June, Florida

I went to Lake June yesterday to check out the water and do some fishing since my next club tournament is there.  I haven't been there in quite some time, so I thought it was a good chance to get out and do some fishing.  We brought along my new GoPro HD Hero camera for fun.  I can't wait to learn this cool camera a little more.  I plan to start doing some underwater shots for my product reviews.

The day started off pretty slow and we chased around some schooling fish for most of the morning.  It was fun, we ended up catching a bunch, but they were pretty small and definitely won't help in the tournament next weekend.

We switched over to Carolina-rigs out deep and this is what we caught most of our fish on.  I like throwing "the rig" and 2011 has certainly been a great year for me with big fish on the Carolina-rig.  Yesterday, I caught a good one doing it and I plan to throw it quite a bit during the tournament.  Check out my video of the catch.

My Carolina-Rig Set-Up

• 7 foot Heavy Abu Garcia Veritas Rod
• Shimano Curado (old school Green Curado)
• 20lb Seaguar InvizX with a 15lb leader
• 3/4 oz Eco Pro Tungsten Flippin' Weight
• 3/0 Kumho USA Worm Hook
• Swivel and Eco Pro Tungsten Pro Bead
• Soft Plastic: A secret for now...

Bringin' Back the Classics!

It's interesting how bass fishing continues to evolve and the latest and greatest trendy products and techniques seem to replace what has been proven to work for years.  I am as guilty of this as anyone else and sometimes need to get back to basics. TheFishNReport.com is doing a series on Bringin' Back the Classics and it is a good reminder for me (and maybe you) to get back to the originals once in a while.  

I particularly liked their article on the Jitterbug and Hula Popper.  These baits are CLASSIC. Anyone who is a bass fisherman likely has a few and chances are they have been sitting in a box somewhere.  I actually found one fishing last year on the Harris Chain and told myself I would use it sometime.  It was in perfect condition and it went to my box and has not been tied on.  Maybe now is the time to bring back the classics.  

They also did a piece on some other "old school" baits.

The Rapala Original Floater

Mepps Aglia In-line Spinner

Mister Twister Curly Tail Grub

This is a six part series so there will be two more classic lures brought back into the spotlight. What "classics" do you still use and what should be forgotten forever?

The Perfect Wacky-rig?

I have been testing the brand new Eco Pro Tungsten Wacky Weight and Power Team Lures Sick Stick.  I think these two were made for each other and will help me catch some more fish this year. What do you think?  I'm pretty impressed so far.  Look for a full review of both in the next few days.  

New from Z-Man

Thanks to Luke Clausen's recent win at the FLW Tour Open on the Potomac River, we now have a sneak peak at a new bait from Z-Man.  I saw the winning pattern article on BassFan.com and it mentioned he was using a "prototype Z-Man ElaZtech Flappin' CrawZ."

It also mentioned that the bait "has not reached the final design stage and a release date has not been determined"  I am really looking forward to this bait.  Luke was using this as a swimjig trailer and this is exactly what I would use it for.  For one, it is the perfect shape and the craws look like they would have a great action.  Almost more important than the action is the durability of ElaZtech.  Swim jig trailers are notorious for losing appendages.  I went through a bag of another brand pretty quickly the last time I got on a good swimjig bite.  The ElaZtech will definitely hold up.  I can wait to get some of these in black and blue or junebug.  Thanks Luke....you showed us the bait and teased us since it's not out.  I'll be patiently waiting... 

A New Twist on a Classic Bait

Like I mentioned in my post Sunday about my latest tournament on Okeechobee, my buddy was schooling me on a bait.  I was using a Norman Flat Broke crankbait and was catching fish, but he was outfishing me with a different bait.  I first heard about it almost two years ago at the ICAST show in 2009.  The bait in question; a Hover Trap by Langill Lures.  

I admit that when I first saw the bait I didn't know how (and why) I would use it.  This weekend was a perfect time to use it.  Regular crankbaits and lilpless cranks were getting hung up in the rocks like you wouldn't belive.  I was hanging up so much I think Russ probably thought he was fishing with a kid or someone who doesn't ever fish.

The beauty of this bait is that it is basically a lipless crankbait that will float, or hover. Once hung up, if you would just wait; most of the time it would float right back up out of the snag.  I was impressed and will definitely be buying some.

Here is what Langill Lures says about the bait:

Suspending lipless crankbait that is made in three different models to fish at controlled depths in various speeds.  Designed to be fished under all conditions anytime of the year.  Each model has a unique pregnant belly that puts off a different action than any other lure.  Tungsten weight has been added to give a distinctive sound hat alerts the fish log before they can actually see the lure.

Fishin' in the Wind

If you fish for bass often, there is no doubt you are faced with windy conditions from time to time. Since Spring has sprung in most of the country, wind is a common element no matter where you are fishing.  Some guys really hate the wind and would rather not even go out in the conditions if they think it's too windy.  I personally like the windy days as it shakes things up under water and shakes up the psyche of other competitors.  My favorite thing to do is of course throw reaction baits like a lipless crankbait, Z Man Chatterbait or a Death Shimmer II Spinnerbait.  I'm not the only one who likes to fish in the wind; Bassmaster Elite Series Rookie and Eco Pro Tungsten Pro-Staffer Brandon Palaniuk is a fan of throwing swimbaits on those windy days.

In a Fishing Wire article he says:

"One presentation that produces strikes for me is positioning my boat in shallow water, such as up on a point, and casting deep so the swimbait comes up the slope of the point. What this does sometimes, I believe, is force bass to strike. They tend to follow swimbaits a lot, but as the lures gets more and more shallow, the fish literally run out of water. They either have to strike then before it escapes or let it go. Most of my strikes fishing this way come when the swimbait is very shallow."

I'm going to try that one next time it gets rough out there.  You can see the entire article here.

The Best Bed Fishing Bait Ever

If you ask ten fishermen what they like to use for bedding bass you will probably get ten different answers.  Some go for the gaudy bright baits, some prefer the natural baits, and others want something very lifelike.  All of these will catch fish.  In a tournament situation, it comes down to catching them quickly. My new favorite bed fish bait is the Dinero by Get Five Lures.

I have always preferred to use Texas-rigged plastics on beds.  Tubes, craws, beavers, worms, and brush hogs all work.  This past weekend I was able to catch a few fish on beds and the Dinero did the job in no time. One particular fish was within casting distance of both myself and my partner for the day.  We both cast at it several times with different baits.  Once I thought about it, I tied the Dinero on and the fish was in the boat.  Sure, we had spent a few minutes getting the fish riled up, but I think the Dinero is a great tool for many reasons.

The first thing about the bait that I like is the type of plastic that is used.  It's very soft, but also floats.  This allowed the weight to rest on the bottom and the tail to float up right in front of the fish. The second part of the design that makes it great for bed fishing is the action.  The tail of the Dinero has some great movement when you shake your line.  When you start to reel it in, the tail looks like the tail of a fish trying to get away.  

As far as colors are concerned, I judge that based on the color of the water.  If it's dirty or windy out and the bed is hard to see, White Rose is my choice.  If it's crystal clear, I like a natural color like Green Pumkin or Sludge.

Check out this video and imagine that action on a bed in front of a bedding bass.

Cold Front Bass Fishing

Here in Florida, the threat of the cold front holds bass fisherman hostage.  The cold fronts dictate how we fish and how well we are going to do.  It's true everywhere in the country, bass don't like the cold.  I am always looking for more knowledge on how to fish in these conditions and just found a great article that offers some tips on how to deal with the dreaded cold front.  Check it out here.

My Favorite Punch Setups

I was talking with the guys at Bass 2.0 about my favorite punchin' setup and it was much easier to just post some pics. I have two basic setups that I use for almost all of my punchin' needs.

#1 Is for the really thick stuff.  A Miller Punchin' Weight in the 1.5 ounce size.  It comes in both the Punchin Green and plain brass colors.  I like the Punchin Green, but there is something about that brass weight at times.  The added flash acts like a spinner blade, only it's under a mat of thick grass.  This is definitely going somewhere no spinnerbait has gone before. I like to rig it with a Paycheck Punch Stop.  I don't peg it completely down, instead I peg it a few inches above the weight.  This seems to allow the weight to really do it's thing and get into the grass.  I use a Punch Skirt on almost all of my punchin' and for the hook, I use a 4/0 Punch Hook.  The bait can be interchanged with your favorite bait, I usually use a Sweet Beaver or a Power Team Bully Grass Devil.  This setup has a watermelon with red flake beaver and a Bub's Watermelon Punch Skirt.

#2 Has been my go-to this past year and is classic flippin' and punchin' colors; decked out in all black and blue.  This one has a Punch Stop pegged tight to the weight, 1.5oz Tungsten weight and the Gas Money Colored Punch Skirt with the same hook.  The Beaver has been a killer and I have used a variation of black and blue all year.  My favorites are Black/Blue, Penetration, Hematoma and Hillbilly Special.

Using these two setups with a good heavy rod should cover most of the Punchin' situations you are faced with.  If you are fishing the upcoming Southern Open on Toho, this might be the perfect place for these two setups.

Cold Fronts Suck

I posted this blog last week on the Bass East Blog, and since most of the U.S. is experiencing a major cold front, I felt like the timing is right for this post to be shared with everyone.  If you haven't checked out BassEast.com or the Bass East Blog go ahead and do it.  It will keep you warm!

Cold Fronts Suck

Living in Florida this time of year, everything depends on one thing: the cold front.  I'm sure you have heard how notorious cold fronts are on bass in Florida.  Before I lived here, I always read about it and thought "yeah right, it can't be that bad".  I was wrong.

My first experience fishing after a cold front was actually a week after I moved here.  I joined a club two days after I drove across the country and was fishing on Lake Istokpoga less than a week after being here.  I fished hard all day and caught two small fish.  Feeling disappointed, I weighed in my fish and to my surprise  ended up taking 2nd place.  It gets that bad. So what should you do after a cold front?  Stay home and watch football? Yeah right. My approach is to fish the heaviest cover I can find.  Grass or anything that will hold these bass close to cover and keep warm.  Even if you don't live in Florida, you can still use the same basic approach; go slow and fish deep into the cover. 

My favorite way to fish during and after a cold front is to punch mats with a heavy weight like a Miller Punchin Weight.  The design is really cool and it's probably something you might not have heard of.  Those guys in California come up with some innovative things that really work.  My favorite size is a 1.5 ounce but it is also made in one and two ounce sizes.  Attached to my braid will be a Sweet Beaver in Black/Blue, a Gas Money colored Punch Skirt and a 4/0 Punch Hook.  To punch this monster weight, use a big rod like the Punch Rod by iRod that was obviously designed for Punchin'.  This is the ultimate set-up for grass fishing when it's cold, or even when it's warm outside.

Since the weather is cold and the fishing is slow, the biggest thing you need besides the right gear, is patience and confidence.  I don't know anywhere that sells these, so my best advice is to fish hard and don't let the conditions get to you no matter what you are faced with.

Fishing the Ultravibe Speedworm

My favorite bait this year has been the Zoom Ultravibe Speed Worm. I have done really well with it and decided to write something up about how I fish it.

This was my first entry for the new newsletter, Inside Bass Fishing. It's off to a great start and the first edition hit the e-mail boxes last week. If you haven't signed up already, send an email to insidebassfishing@gmail.com to get on the list.

Fishing the Ultravibe Speedworm:

Everyone seems to have one bait that they can always count on, one they know will catch fish. Some would call it your confidence bait. Without a doubt, my confidence bait is the Zoom Ultravibe Speedworm. If you are not familiar with the bait, it’s basically a paddle tail worm with a slit cut in the tail. The tail is key to everything about this bait and the action is second to none. It comes in two sizes, the 5 ¾ inch version and the Magnum 7 inch version. Since it’s made by Zoom, the color selection is diverse and proven.

My favorite is the regular sized version in Junebug. This year, the Ultravibe did very well for me and caught both numbers of fish as well as big fish for me. I had the great fortune of being Angler of The Year in the BFL Gator Division on the Co-Angler side and it was almost all because of the Ultravibe Speedworm. Each tournament, it played a big role and caught fish for me.

When it comes to fishing with this worm, the techniques and applications are endless. My favorite way to go Ultravibin’ is to fish a 5 ¾ inch size worm with a 3/0 Owner Offset worm hook and a 3/16 oz Eco Pro Tungsten weight on 15 pound Seaguar IvizX. In Florida, we are blessed with lakes that are full of a variety of grass species; Kissimee Grass, Reeds, Hydrilla, Lily Pads, Pepper Grass and more. All of these places are good places to start, but anytime you have a mix of grass you increase your odds. I like to focus on sporadic patches of grass and reel it slowly over the grass and let it fall in between the holes in the grass. Let it sink and then start reeling again. For Lily Pads and Reeds, I like to yo-yo the bait between the deeper stalks. If you have ever fished a swim jig, it is the same concept. The fish will tell you what retrieve they want that day, so adjust to what they want.

Besides the standard Texas-rig and sinker, the Ultravibe can be fished in many other ways. For the Magnum sized bait, I like to fish it weightless and reel it on top of the water like a soft plastic frog. The tail creates a great buzzing action and the fish will really attack the bait. Because the bait is so thick, casting this bait without a weight is effortless.

Another way to fish this bait is on the Carolina-rig and I have done very well with the smaller size attached to a C-Rig and ½ oz weight. The bait design allows the bait to be fished in numerous ways and I still haven’t found a way that didn’t work.

If you are looking for a new confidence bait, or maybe just a new way to catch fish; try the Ultravibe Speedworm and hold on.

Flippin' and Punchin' with Fluorocarbon

As I have said many times this year, I am a big believer in fluorocarbon line (espescially Seaguar). I use it on everything from finesse fishing to worms and even topwaters. One thing I haven't really done is used the heavier stuff (20lb+) to flip and punch with. I was reading Rattletrap Rambling's blog the other day and he made a reference to how J.T. Kenney likes to switch from braid to 25lb fluorocarbon "when there's a really bad cold front or when there's a lot of pressure on the fish. He says the sawing noise from braid can be a detriment and fluorocarbon makes hardly any noise and is also less visible." Makes sense to me.

I just got some 20 and 25 lb test Seaguar InvizX and AbrazX and plan to try it out a few times in the next few months before before my big tournaments start. I want to make sure I'm not breaking fish off in the thick stuff before I use it in a tournament. I really doubt the 25lb will break very easily as my 15lb stuff is really strong. I'll let you know how it works. More bites is always better!

A New Way to Rig Your Senkos

The Senko has got to be the most versatile soft plastic out there. Texas-Rigged, weedless, wacky, carolina-rig, drop-shot, The Neko Rig and now something called the "Rev Rig". I saw this video on Mike Folkestad's blog about a new way to rig the Senko with a small weight in front of it. The video is really cool and shows exactly how it works. I will definitely be trying this when the conditions are right. Thanks for sharing Mike!

New Colors for the Paycheck Baits Punch Skirt

The Paycheck Baits Punch Skirt has changed the way I fish thick cover. I started using it early in the year and have hardly went a day without using it to flip and punch heavy cover. It's the perfect addition to your favorite punchin' bait. I have used a bunch of the colors and seem to keep coming back to "Gas Money" the Black and Blue color. I have been experimenting with a few new colors and even the new round rubber versions lately and now have some brand new colors to try out. Check them out. I'm really looking forward to trying out "The Violator" color. It looks like a great color for Florida. Check em out if you haven't tried them.
