| Thanks Steve. The baits sink nose down. And alot of guys use them in lakes, either over deep stuff vertically or by jigging them down breaklines. The bait has actually won 5 tourneys that I know of. One PMTT on a river in 2008, but 4 Muskies Canada events all held on lakes in Ontario have been won with it where guys do nothing but pull them down drop offs, hopping them 3-5 feet and letting it fall on a tight line. I'll be the first to admit that it is a dumb and simple looking lure, but there is something about it that makes it a good one. I never initially intended to sell them, but they worked better than I thought. Good luck! |

| Hi Jon
Really nice video. I got a little nervous for you when your net and GoPro slipped into the water at the end!
It is really interesting seeing the slight variance in techniques used by the jigging guys out your way vs. the guys fishing here on the Niagara and St Lawrence. But what is even more interesting is the similarities.
The hooksets with the fish below your feet can be jarring! Great footage! Thanks for sharing...

| Jon, quick follow up: The Bondy baits for sale @ Thorne's have two sets up trebles, one fore and one aft. It *looks* like the bait in your video only has the rear hooks. Is that correct? Any opinion on hook placement on your bait?
Thanks again

| Nope. It has both hooks on it in the video. Sometime if fishing is slow, or I have an inexperienced client, I will even take the line tie split ring off the top, slide a 3rd treble on the eye, then put that split ring back on there which holds it on. That is a good tip that works, but most of the time I just use the two bottom ones. They are premium, ultra sharp extra strong round bend VMC's. |

Location: Grand Rapids, MI | Our latest Bondy Bait fish. There was some questions about using this bait in open water around schools of baitfish. Yes, it works.
