Thread: Rockport Rattlers

They did the same last year, had a new product and gave a big talk at the CM weigh-in about it being the stuff. Each company has their way of marketing, must be working, they are back for another year. Price aint the issue for 99% of us, if we think it will increase our catch we pretty much have it in our boat.

Umm because there's no need to spend that much on something you don't need and will probably hang up and get lost. My rod don't get hung up and lost

Agree with ya Reese on price. Just don't agree with marketing of the products. For that reason I have stayed away from them. Didn't even know the same thing happened last year lol.

Wouldn't putting a bead on the line above the jig accomplish pretty much the same thing? Green carp fishermen have done it for years.

Dang, that's where it goes, been putting it on the rod tip!!!!!!

I'm like RG. I don't mind the price if my catch increases. For 10 bucks, I'll try 6 of em. Cheaper than a burger and fries at Mickey D's nowadays.

I have paid more for less. I just think 90% of the things on the market are designed to catch fisherman more than fish. One look at my tackle box proves that. I got more jigs than I could use in a life time and still buying more!!!!

G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) is a common condition in this sport. The manufacturer's know how to play on it because in the final analysis it's all about money. I usually wind up buying everything that comes out just to see if it works.
