| Anybody have any experience using these jerk baits? Paint jobs look awesome from the pictures I have seen. |

Location: Wisconsin | I have one bar fighter. Awesome action and color. It has more side to side action than a suick, and the really move a lot of different directions. Awesome bait, can't wait to get some more this winter |

Location: Wisconsin | I agree, he would be very successful at shows. And It would be nice to be able to choose from all his color patterns in person |

Location: MN | I picked up a older used one and I can tell you they are built really well. I talked to Scott a few times. He seems like a really great guy. He told me that they are all produced on a CNC machine? I'm not sure what that is but he said it ensures that each one comes out the same. Granted you will always have some changes with wood but the shape itself. I don't think you can go wrong with picking up any of the models he has. |

| CNC....Computer Numerically Control. Means the cutting is controlled by a programmed computer so that the lures are all clones of each other...tight tolerances.
You are correct in that the only variation will be reflected in wood density. |

Location: Chisholm, MN | Seems to be the next craze. It's making me actually want to throw a jerkbait! |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Client brought one on the boat in the last couple weeks, 3-4 pulls into my first cast with it I said "this is sweet". You know how you can't really explain what you like in a jerkbait you just know it when you see/feel it? That's the Barfighter. I'm not much of an overdone paint person and like to see things simple but the finish looked nice and like it would hold up. |

Location: Sycamore, IL | How do they hold up banging into structure? I see that you can weight them like a hardhead...how deep can you get them to run? |

Location: Lincoln, NE | They hold up good banging off structure. He also makes a new hard nose version now that has a metal nose. For working them deep you can put a bigger hardhead weight in them and also add a bell sinker to the front hook hanger. It knocks on the inset weight and adds some metallic noise and some rolling action. I also used a weighted stealth leader with it last week on Vermilion and put my rod tip in the water and snapped it downward and got it deep. The best thing about it (aside from the sweet paint jobs) is that you can give it slow pulls for suick type action or shard snaps like a phantom. Very versitile. Depending on how you set it up you can use it for fast summer action or slower in their face spring and fall style fishing.
