Such a "Quacker" of a Deal I Have for You

Fishing pressure and weather conditions on your favorite body of water sometimes can make it a challenge to catch fish. When that happens, have you ever tried throwing a curve ball at 'em? By curve ball, I mean something unorthodox.

The next time you're stumped by the bass, you might want to consider an outside-the-box bait like you see in the accompanying photos--provided, that is, you can afford one of these "crown jewels." For planning purposes, you should count on paying at least $70 (saw some on eBay for that price), and perhaps as much as $90, for one of these baits.

Handmade in the good ol' US of A by TrapBassBaits, these floating Duck Jrs. are 3.5 inches long from beak to tail, 2 inches wide at the base, and 2 inches tall. They are made from a proprietary blend of composite resin for durability and action, and they come equipped with sticky Owner hooks, so the fish stay hooked. They weigh 3 ounces apiece and are billed as a popular bait for catching largemouth bass, smallmouth, striped bass, musky, and brown trout.

TrapBass Duck Jrs. take the concept of "matching the hatch" to a whole different level. The simple fact of the matter is that bass will take down anything in their strike zone, as long as it has a heartbeat. That would explain why biologists say they have found such things as mice, eels, snakes, and yes, even baby ducks, in the stomachs of these opportunistic feeders. If you're a doubter, hold your final decision until you've had a chance to review the video found at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSliEKRshe8.

Now, I realize the cost of Duck Jrs. probably places them out of the reach of some (including yours truly), but if you would like to get one, email Trapbassbaits@gmail.com, or visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/trapbassbaits for ordering and more information.

In closing, let me lay out this challenge to my good buddy, Charlie:

"Hey there, my 'fair-feathered' friend, since you're trying nothing but 'big' baits this season, why not add one of these to your tacklebox? It very well could turn one of those trips to your 'secret lake' into the experience of a lifetime. And, who knows? It might even put you in the record books."
