Yes that ol Bait Pump has been hovering around me like a jig in around and over a crappie condo for some time now. Seeing all the testimonial's from hither and yon about The Bait Pump had been tempting me somewhat but as a rather lazy fisherman I had been just sitting by and watching.
Yes I use Crappie Nibbles when the bite is slow but would quit messing with them if I was catching fish without them. That laziness extends to changing jig colors or beat up jig bodies for fresh jig bodies on the hook. I would guess the majority of baits I use are solid body baits and not tube baits which was what The Bait Pump was shown being used on and therefor didn't see that much advantage for using The Bait Pump.
Then something triggered me to jump out of the cover and thump 'The Bait Pump" and The Bait Pump folks reeled me in with my order. The order was placed on a Friday around 2:30 pm and received at my house on Monday. I sure can't complain about that service. It sure seemed like a good and solid piece of plastic and well machined.
That trigger for me was watching Russ Bailey insert The Bait Pump tip into the body of a pan assassin, as I recall, and injecting it with a dab of nibble paste on his show with Tim Nicely. It seemed like to me I had always seen the pump being used on tube baits but now I saw it could be used on solid baits too. Something that I just might be able to use and need to have now.
This isn't a testimonial for The Bait Pump but just stating what caused me to go for it. The pump may well be just one more item of many in my tackle box and boat that I end up not using.
