My new Bait-Pump

I saw my friend Jerry (L.A. Stumpjumper) out on Lake Monticello today. He had an extra Bait-Pump and was gracious enough to give it to me. I had been intending to order one for a while but had just not gotten around to it yet. I have to say I was amazed at how much precision was put into the manufacture of the unit and how well it worked. It is really going to save a ton of both time and nibbles as I am constantly bringing up jigs to make sure they still have a nibble on them while trolling. If I had known how well they worked I would have had one a long time ago........thanks Jerry!

nice to have friends like that

We love ours! First fish I caught with it was 12 feet deep and weighed over 2 lbs! Still had a jig full of nibbles left. Went right back to fishin'!:)

Ahh, Jerry comes through like a champ! The Bait Pump is tool that gets the job done even on the coldest days, and it will be in your tackle box for a long time. And better yet, it's made by a heck of a guy. The only complaint that I have is the lack of a disclaimer about rosies...dang near blew up a half dozen before I figured out it's a jig only kinda thing...:cool:

I love it! Got to try it out on fish this morning on LM where I usually just use the solid body jigs. Put a green/char tube jig on the first pole and pumped it full with the bait-pump then threw it out. I put the Bobby Garlands on the next three poles but before I could get the last pole out I had a crappie on the first one that I had used the bait-pump on. So I decided to use 2 poles with Bait-Pump full tube jigs and 2 poles with the BG baby shads (solid body) making four poles in all. I caught more crappie on the tube jigs Much to my suprise! They were biting slow and the wind was bad but I still managed to limit out by noon. More than half were caught on a Midsouth Tackle "SuperJig" in the green/char sparkle pumped full of nibbles. It was so nice not having to keep putting nibbles on the hooks all the time. The nibbles lasted all morning in the two jigs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And this guy is gonna be a Dr? Oh dear... :D :eek:

Looks like a nifty little device. I probably need to get me one of those before too long. How deep you fishin' at LM?

aj

I was fishing in 52-58 FOW and trying to stay about 5 ft off the bottom. Using the fishfinder to try and stay above the schools (which kept moving). I could almost predict when I would get a bite by listening to the fish alarm on the HB. Yea, the bait-pump is definitely the way to go if you use jigs.

Wherer can you buy one?

Cricket George, Slab Hunter on the Louisiana board makes and sell the bait pump. It really works great and saves a lot on nibbles. Here is a link to his website. THE BAIT PUMP - SOFT BAIT INJECTION SYSTEM ! FOR CRAPPIE FISHING AND BASS FISHING

I know they are fairly cheap, OK really cheap, but I am gonna try out one of the horse syringes (clean of course) and see if it works as well, thus saving %15+shipping.

Well is he going to be ear,nose and throat doctor or a proctologist ?:eek: ha ha !

I've seen enough colonoscopies to know which end...:p

Jim and I put a little crappie nibble right on our hook with nothing else and we tear the bream up in his pond! It's so much fun!!!

Does the bait dry out or become difficult to use if left in there for awhile, or it it not an issue. Do you have to clean it out after every use?
Just wondering

I took a mini jig or tube bait body and pulled the legs off.

Then I use it like a cap and slip over the tip.

Been doing this for a couple of months with no problems.

Keeps the nibble stuff from drying out.

Thats a good idea. I bought one because I think its a good product, but didnt know how to keep the nibbles from drying out.
Thanks for the information

If there is any drying out it is just at the end of the tube and will squeeze right out. I just leave my loaded all the time.

If you use it at least once a week you will hardly notice any drying out at all. Just the very tip of the nozzel may dry a little but not enough to even worry about. I have even noticed that what is left in the tube jigs stays moist for a pretty good while. I would expect any dried bits to rehydrate pretty quickly once the jig hits the water.
