    Am I right?


    All the hooks are there, video, instruction sheet and baits almost.
    How did you not laugh when they handed that to you? I mean, It is cool and that would have been rude, but, not sure I could have kept from it (initial surprise and all)
    I think the new secret color is "A-Rig"..........

    I did laugh and discovered the word "Novelty" in the same breath!
    Owner did not know what to make of my reaction.....had to explain novelty!

    P.S. I did actually witness a bass caught on one once. However it was a stupid farm pond bass.

    We go smallie fishing in Canada every September. We always seem to have a couple bass "tournaments" on paper with the group during the trip. The fish are thick up there and 100 fish days aren't uncommon. Would be fun one day to have the smallie tournament and all you get to fish with was a single helicopter lure. Pick the color in the morning at breakfast and go. Tournament is done for you for the day when you get bit off by a pike.

    I don't know about you but if it were me, I would get there very early Sunday morning. Get that first spot at the courtesy dock, and have the rods laid out on deck with every color tied on. Don't say a word.

    I would tie one on and head for Juday Creek.
    Fish under the bridges so they can't see whats coming.

    Get one of those screw-in things with a swivel and a tiny spinner blade on it. Take the spinner blade off and replace it with a dropshot hook. Voila! You got yourself a mini-Whopper-Plopper. Perfect for farm ponds and other small, quiet waters.
