Gregg, just curious about “no Oddballs in my boat.” Were you involved in any way with the Bait Rigs Vs. Fin Tech dispute?
I was not. When I fished tourneys my partner was pro staff for Fin-tech. So there you go, my biased opinion came out.
Differences: odd-balls have a much longer hook and don’t stand up as well as a knuckeball nor do they work well for dragging the bottom. The odd-ball pro staff guy in our league switched to using Knuckleballs before he started winning some tourneys.
