I think the company started 4 or 5 years ago. The company was purchased by a guy here in Utah just recently though. They have made a major name for themselves in the kokanee salmon industry... I guess thats why I got turned on to them sooner (kokanee are my passion). I know kokaneemart carries them. I think some other retailers in CA have them as well. I've always just gotten them online though. The customer service is great and I've recieved my orders very quick.
I have used them for smallmouth and done very well with them. I have only tried my kokanee sized ones though (1 1/2"). I just drop shot them and they have done great. I'm not a bass fisherman, so any lure that can get me to catch bass must be good! LOL I can't imagine what they'd be like in the hands of a real bass fisherman!
Murky water? I was ice fishing a couple of weeks ago in southern utah and the water was way murky. I'm used to being able to see down 15 feet while in my dark ice tent. Well, my jigs were disappearing into the mist within 2 feet! I caught a few in the early morning on regular tube jigs and ice flies. I then switched to RGT's and gave them a good charge before dropping them into the haze... bang! Those things really worked well. Finally the fish could see the lures! We got some really nice bows that day. So, like TubeN2 said... they work well in low visability conditions!
Thanks for replying guys. I hope you guys give them a try sometime. If you do, let me know how they work for you. And in the meantime... I'll wait here for other people to respond. There must be a fellow kokanee addict out there that has used these! LOL
Thanks, bkidder
