Bass of the Past Highlights
Night fishing on Beaver Lake, NW Arkansas
Dale Clark with 16 lb. Drum
Fishing July 1, 2003, Beaver Lake in NW Arkansas, about 11 pm, I caught several bass in the 2 1/2 to 4 lb. range, fishing the Slinker Jr. Texas rigged at about 30 ft. deep. Thump! I set the hook and in the darkness thought I had a world record bass. I finally got it in the dip net and lifted it in the boat. That's when I found out it was a 16 lb. drum.

I
had just started casting when I saw the fish. He appeared just behind
my Slinker worm. I let it sit motionless for a second and then with a
twitch, my Slinker worm was attacked viciously. The fight was on! A 5
lb. 5 oz. Shoal Bass and my Slinker Worms made a memorable fishing trip
that I'll never forget.
Jerry Paine Snags Bass at Fayette County
Lake in Texas.
I rigged the Slinker up on a Carolina rig. I was using a 3/0 wide gap worm hook on about a 3 foot leader. I cast the rig up on a wind blown secondary point in about 3 feet of water. As I reeled up the slack I thought I was hung up. However, it didn't take too long to figure out that I had a big ole' bass instead of a tree. She put up a pretty good fight but I had her hooked pretty good. After she tired out, she was kind enough to pose for a few pictures before I released her back to fight again someday.
I moved down the shore line into some timber very near the point that I caught the first bass. It was really windy and I was having a heck of a time maneuvering the boat through the sticks. I had a Texas rig worm one rod and I was pitching in the timber without much success. I decided to try a Slinker worm on the Texas rig. I was just about finished with the timber when I gave one more cast to a tree stump in about 8 feet of water. I immediately felt the tell tale thump of a big bass sucking in my Slinker. I set the hook and had another battle on my hands with an eight pounder. Luckily she headed out for open water and I was able to corral her in fairly easily. Another big ole' sow bass on the Slinker!
My
First Ride in a Kayak!
Shawn Clark with 4 1/2 lb.Bass
This may not be the biggest
bass you have ever seen, but it was just plain fun for me to catch...
My buddy Philip Sadler lives here on Beaver Lake. We have this secret
spot that we wanted to fish just out his back yard and down the shore
a little ways. Our wives were relaxing on the back deck enjoying the view
of the lake and the evening. We decided to take a couple of his small
kayak's down to the water. We stuck our fishing rods in beside us with
a Watermelon seed Slinker tied on Texas rigged. We paddled to it. It was
almost dark, but on the third cast up in the brush. Thump... This 4 1/2
pounder pulled me all over. I was hanging on to the paddle, my rod and
trying not to fall out while fighting and landing the fish. My friend
and I just laughed as we paddled back to his yard holding this fish for
a picture. Try it...

I
just returned from a fishing trip to east Texas, and a picture is worth
a thousand words!
Chris
Hall with Giant Bass
We were on the water at daylight
the first morning and it was already hot and very calm. We started throwing
top water baits and were catching a few small fish, but the sun was getting
higher and the bites were getting fewer. I started throwing plastic worms
into standing timber and still was not having any luck. Around 9:30, I
picked up the watermelon-candy slinker worm that Shawn Clark had given
me the day before. I had it rigged Texas style with a ¼ oz. sinker
on 14 lb. Line.
It sounds like a real fish story, but the very first cast I made back
into the standing timber produced this 10 pound "toad". Needless
to say, I didn't put down the slinker worm the rest of the trip!
Thanks for a great product and thanks for a great fish!
