"Brian Huskins handmade crankbaits are solely
responsible for my $38,500.00 cash and a new 519/Yamaha boat which I won at
the FLW Texas Tournament Trail on Texoma April 25th 2004. I had located some
fish prior to the event in some standing trees. Tournament day however, the
fish moved off the bottom and suspended about 3 to 4 feet below the surface in
those trees. Normally, suspended fish are troublesome at best to catch. Not
this day however! They slammed the B2 in both natural shad and
Rootbeer/Chartreuse! Every fish had the bait entirely in it's throat! I
finished day one with 15# 6 oz. and was 3rd going into day 2. The second day
the fish moved once again. They abandoned wood altogether had to scramble
around and start throwing the B2 on transition areas which went from sand to
basketball sized rocks. I switched over from a 5.3 to 1 retrieve reel to a 3.8
to 1 and started slowly bumping rocks in 3 to 4 foot of stained water. I had 5
keeper bites all day and managed to weigh in 12# 13 oz. and take the
tournament by just over 1/2 lb.
Once you fish these baits and gain confidence
in knowing you are cranking a bait that 99% of the people in the field do not
own, it really keeps you focused for the quality bites YOU KNOW you are going
to get. They are my supreme confidence baits and have accounted for 2 seconds
and this first in my past 3 tournaments.
$20 bucks is NOT a lot to pay for a bait
when it runs perfect every time, has a lifetime warranty and keeps you
mentally in the game all day long. If you can stay in it mentally, your better
than 90% of the field already! Brians baits do that for you!
Good catching!!!
