My latest product review… with an attachment! Thanks, I get by with a little help from my friends…
Twister Mite
Try to imagine being a walleye for a moment… you were hatched not born… and from your first day of life, you have been on the constant prowl for a meal. Your keen eyesite has given you the advantage to locate your natural foods… like minnows, crayfish, and helgramites. You can spot them hiding in the cracks between the rocks, round the tree roots, in the sand-grass. You have grown up to be a real cridder eating machine! Your day’s work is a constant search for more and bigger food. Now, your body sences a movement… you feel the vibration of a large prey animal moving ahead… You know it is very big by the feel of it’s movement on your skin… kick, kick, kick.. you are thinking that this must be a huge crayfish that is fleeing an attack! Then, through the murk, you begin see what has to be the biggest “mite” you’ve ever met up with… And, it is scurring away… WHAM! You smack it with all your might in a fierce engulfing bite….All heck breaks loose as you endevor to kill and swallow this “meal of a lifetime”. Hawger then throws your rear-end in the live well… Well, that is sad live story for any poor walleye that meets up with an EXUDE Twister Mite that has been rigged on a Mepps SpinFlex. Truth is the walleye is just going to… have to… eat this lure, for it is irresistible. The sight of the Twister Mite, which is a food item that the adult fish grew up eating from the time of a fry,… is imprinted into the fish’s brain… as a natural forage. The Spinflex adds the flash and vibration to complete the “feel” of a natural meal… that is struggeling and attamting to flee. I love this combination, it is a killer! The Exude Twister Mite looks, feels, and smells/tastes to be food to hungry fish… and not only will a walleye not pass it up… nor will a sunfish, bass, or crappie. They too know a good looking “easy” and tasty meal whan they see one. From opening my first package of Exude Twister Mites, I have opened a new era in my fishing experience. These “critters” just clobber the fish. I am so impressed with the results I have had compaired to standard grub-boddies dressed on convevntional jigs. A down-side to these lures? Well, the only down-side to these hot new plastics is… if you are the walleye in the livewell… it is going to be your last meal!
