floggin' smallies

Post by NJ Jigman » Thu Nov 17, 2011 6:15 am

Has anyone used this poor boys creation yet. thinking about a x'mas present for my bigshot brother who has countless custom rods and too many MB 110's to count. we fish fairly clear to really clear water in the NE, nj, upstate ny and ct. he has 2 hds 7's (lowrance) would it be worth getting him a device like this for our smallie fishin :?: Any info would help. thanks in advance :)

for 100 bucks I would say invest in some different tackle or make one yourself

well i didn't get him one for x'mas but he bought himself one. his tournament fishing partner aka wife is laughing at him, said she's gonna kick him off the side of the boat when he's on his knee's with his head looking through the :lol: Road Construction Cone

I just caught Mark Zonas fishing show where he was using this while fishing in MI with Byron Velvick and it was really something to see. Both those guys wanted to use the cone more than they wanted to fish just because they were more entertained by watching 4-6lb smallies in 15-20' of water go crazy on their baits. Byron had the expected reaction to it, laughing hyterically until he looked through it then he didnt want to give it up.

Winner gets one of his Ito's! lmao :mrgreen:

This is not really a new invention. A underwater viewer has been around for DECADES. New twist on its application though.

and it really looks EXACTLY like this product

HAHHA..bad photoshopping :^o :^o :^o is here http://www.lurecraft.com/catalog.cfm/ma ... ogger:2571

5 gallon bucket, a sheet of lexan, and some epoxy would cost about 10 bucks at the most....something I may try. :big grin:

50 years ago, my dad had one sold by Herters. I, being just a kid, was facinated with it. It was made from a plastic coated cardboard tube with a circular cut piece of window glass.
