#983, "Jerry Rago Raptor Hardbait & Softbait Photos"


          

Well, Jerry gave me the OK to let you guys see what he has been working on. There has been talk about these baits on this, and other forums. Now you get to see them. The tail on these baits are like no other, you have got to see them in the water. I was up at Jerry's house and we went to the creek to test baits and he cast one of the hardbaits into some slack water and set the rod down. The bait was swimming on its own with next to no current. Then we went to a pool to see what it would do in still water, the same thing. You have got to see this thing. Jerry and I have been fishing these baits for a while and we have caught LM bass over 12lb. and stripers over 28lb. and not even in prime season. Tetsuya Nakamura has been fishing it in Japan since July.
This bait will come in several models. floating no lip, slow sinking no lip, sinking no lip, floating w/ lip, slow sink w/ lip, sinking w/ lip, bottom bouncing, slow sinking rubber, bottom bouncing rubber and in sizes 6", 8", 10" The main bait is the 8" and the hardbait will sell for $75.00 and the soft for $19.00, yes $19.00. Jerry showed the baits and about a 15 second video to a few people at the ICAST show in Vegas and one SoCal tackle shop bought 600 on the spot. The first place the baits will be sold is at the Bass-a-thon at Anglers Marine on Nov. 12th & 13th after that tackle stores better order quick, or they might not get them this season. Jerry will be on the tank giving seminars at the Bass-a-thon, so bring a pad and pencil. I will be there trying to keep him from giving up to much info.
Also at the Bass-a-thon I will be selling Jerry's signature swimbait rod that we have been working on. It is built on a prototype Graphite USA/Hastings Rod Mfg. blank we had made and has titanium fuji guides that are Roberts wrap/acid wrap/spiral wrap with color burl cork and EVA. See you at the Bass-a-thon!
