What triggers that strike? I’ve been trying to figure that out for the past 15 years. I was at Bass Pro Shops in Atlanta a couple of years ago and watched as they were feeding fish in the large aquarium with hands full of stunned threadfin shad. The Bass and other fish would rush in and pick off the shad with a rush, but not the Gar. They would slowly ease up to where the action was, come up beside a minnow and with one terrific fast side motion grab it and move off. I saw one large Catfish come up and bite off part of a shad that was sticking out of a Gar’s mouth.
    I think you have to put your lure in just the right place to get that strike. So presentation is important. I’ve tried lot’s of things. Like scent spray, even WD-40, chumming, different colors on my lures and variable retrieve speeds. Last year while sitting at the controls of my boat and blind casting a cove, I noticed the line on my spinning reel was touching the railing on my pontoon boat. The tip of my rod was jumping up and down and had a very pronounced shimmy to it. That’s when a Gar shot out from nowhere and nailed the wiggling thing!
   That’s when it hit me, like a light bulb turning on. Fix something on to the rod that would cause this action. So now I have a gadget that really works. It will put a wiggle and a shimmy to that nylon lure that’s impossible to get any other way. I have been using this for some time now and I really believe that it has increased my ratio of hits by at least 50%. It is easy to snap onto a open faced spinning rod (that’s the only rod it will work on) I call it my Automatic Rod Tip Vibrator. Automatic because all you have to do is reel in, the gadget does all the work. If you don’t want the rod tip action, simply move the pick-up arm out of the way. And that’s not all. It puts extra action on any lure you fish. It does wonders for crank baits.
   This thing was made to put that extra shimmy on the nylon Gar lures. I use them on all my Gar rods now. It has made a big difference. I’m sure if you try it you will like it. And I’ll send you your money back if you don’t. I’m going to put some kits together and on my web site, just fill out the order blank and send it to me. There is a picture on my blog site. It comes with complete instructions and will work on any open-faced spinning reel.
   Good fishing!

   A note from the web master. I have been using this unique tool for crank baits for Bass for a long time. Let me tell you, IT WORKS! Bass see crank baits all the time. But they have NEVER seen one act like this. Try it and see! I don't launch my boat without having one of these on all my crank bait rods.
