Ever since I was a kid, I always hated to get a strike, and miss a fish. I could not stand it. It irritated me so, to know that it was that close and to just not get it done. A fish hit my bait, and I'll never know what it was. It could have been “this” big fish or “that” even bigger fish; and by the end of the day, in my head, it was the biggest.
I've even had fish hit my bobber. All this infuriated me so much that I did some of the craziest things. I put hooks everywhere. I actually hung hooks off my bobbers. I've caught fish that way too. I have a picture somewhere to prove it.
When casting crank baits I even used some of those wobble baits that have two treble hooks in the front, and two treble hooks in the back. I wanted to hook that fish even if it looked at my bait. Whatever it took, I wanted to “git'er done”. Hooks everywhere. Over time my nickname became “100 Hooks Moes”! I am not kidding.
As a kid, I shied away from regular jigs because they only had one hook. I wanted more. Finally, after all these years someone has come out with exactly that. A multiple hook jig. Whitey Outlaw working with Rockport Rattler has come out with the ultimate jig.
This really is the next best thing since sliced bread. No more halfway hits. Something hits this, it's done. It's in the live-well. Ain't nothing gonna miss at least one hook with these things.
The hooks can be bent any way you want them. You can even cut one off and just use two. In heavy cover, maybe you do remove one, and point the two remaining ones up. I love it. This provides a new level of flexibility and customization that we have never had before. Heck, you could even hang a minnow off one hook and a plastic off another. Wow, my head just exploded considering the possibilities.
Some of you may have read about my trip on the St. John River in Florida where I was first introduced to the “Outlaw Max Game Changer” but if you missed it, here's a link: http://www.crappie.com/crappie/conte...n-the-St-Johns
I only received these few pre-production samples at Whitey's Writers Camp. I'm checking now on the general availability of the “Max Game Changer” and will let you know as soon as I hear (if it's not already out there, I'm sure it won't be long). Hang on, cause with these the fish sure will!
UPDATE - Availability is expected in late April, 2014.
