| Wow. Thanks guys for the terrific comments. Been doing good each day with it. Not sure how to post pics, but yesterday at 6:30 am my client got a 50 inch with a 26 inch girth. Someone said they calculated it at 42.25lbs.... |

I just ordered 2 and am going to try it on my local lakes. Does anyone have experience on how to apply this to lakes? Do I stay above the thermocline? ect?? or go to the bottom in 40' of water?

| OK....for any guys fishing lakes, get well out from the drops, even sometimes idling around until you see something on the screen, then chuck it out and over the drops, making a loud comotion as it lands. Then stair step it down the breaks.

| Not sure if this fish had not spawned yet or what??? Caught it yesterday, jigging a black Bondy in 22 ft. That is my client holding it. He caught it.

Location: WI | As far as drag setting, locked down, or more of a looser drag like what I'd use trolling? |

| Locked down, they'll still rip it off. With this technique, I really believe that when you set the hook, all you are doing is getting those points started. You need to apply alot of pressure to dig those brabs in... |

| I tried uploading the video 2 days ago to upload.outdoorsfirst.com. It looked like it uploaded properly but I still don't see it up there. I'll give it another shot.

Location: Northern Wisconsin | What about using this technique on shallower stained rivers? Would my best bet be to look for deep holes ? |

| Yup, just fish it in the holes. They will be in there at some point. |

Location: 31 | Awesome video dude! I never considered slowing the drop like that, I definitely learned something valuable! Thanks for sharing... maybe I won't get laughed at when I wear my up downer now? |

Location: Latitude 41.3016 Longitude 88.6160 | Bondy baits can be used for other fish like Lake Trout !!!!
I use them at Lake Athabasca in Saskatchewan Canada, I use them like Jon does for Musky, on a slow drift jigging or a slow troll jigging the bait up and down. Here is a pic of a 36lb LAKE TROUT caught on a Bondy Bait.

| Here's a question I have been wondering. Where I fish, there are large schools of bait, which I usually find halfway down the water column (e.g. they would be suspended in 20 ft. down in 40 ft. of water). I have had success catching muskie while trolling deep divers when I encountered these suspended bait, but was wondering if you ever heard of anyone having success jigging your baits right in the heart (or slightly above) these large schools of suspended baitfish? I prefer to cast and this seems like a way I can catch these deep water suspended fish without trolling. By the way, great video! |

| From what I have been told, yes. But not where I live But I think the guys who jig in the piles of ciscoes can be more helpful on that. |

| Jon, thanks for the great video.
I, too, am wondering about using your bait in lakes v. rivers. Find the bait fish and vertical jig through that depth column? Looks like you are doing 4-5 foot jigs?
Also, I have not handled your baits. Aside from the lack of tail, how else are they different from Dogs? Heavier nose?
I will check them out next trip to Thornes.
Thanks!
