Hello,

​

I am writing to let you know how much I  enjoy your product.  I bought the DoggerWorm a few weeks before a tournament I was fishing on Lake Eufuala and honestly didn't plan on using them.  I bought them to use at a friend's private pond, which I knew held big fish. 

​

It was extremely rainy the day of the tournament, so much so, if it wasn't for my partner boating two early fish, I would have packed it in for the day.  I fished the classic  gold buzz bait during the rainy morning.  I had some hits, but I could never connect on any of them.  As the day wore on I couldn't get a bite on anything!  

​

I remembered I had the brown craw colored DoggerWorm in my bag, so I decided to give it a try.  It was about the third cast I noticed the line running back to the boat.  I set the hook!  To my surprise it was a 10in Bass.  I could not believe a Bass smaller than the 12in worm ate this bait up!  Two or three small fish later we decided to head down stream and try a creek or two.  We needed keepers and they apparently weren't where we were.  

​

​There was only 2hrs left until weigh in and we had an 1hr back from the creek  we were fishing.  The water was crystal clear in the creek at 8-10ft despite the torrential rain fall.  I tossed the DoggerWorm in between a downed limb near the bank.  I let it fall, waited 5sec and jerked it off the bottom with a swift motion.  All of a sudden I saw an ENORMOUS Bass shot like a rocket effortlessly through the tangled mass of wood.  This was it!  I  hooked a 7-8lb Bass!  I fought it briefly until the line locked tight.  I knew what this gut sinking feeling was.  No movement with a BIG Bass on the line meant only one thing... he was wrapped around the limb!  I rushed over with the trolling motor to see one of the biggest Bass I have personally hooked during a tourney twisted on what looked  like a small forest beneath the water.  I got down on my knees and tried to reach shoulder deep to retrieve the fish.  Aghhh... it is just out of reach.  This fish had a plan!   My next attempt was to quickly try to snap a few of the many limbs to free the line.   First attempt, great... second attempt... the fish took the slack and ran to Detroit!  I watched in horror as it flashed out of sight.  I was bested and beaten.    

​

Well, we didn't win, but I did learn a few valuable lessons.  One, the DoggerWorm has awesome action and looks like nothing else I have used.  You have to work it, which I witnessed in the clear water, but it is well worth the effort.  Two, a 12in DoggerWorm will land small fish just as easily as it will hook large Bass.   Three, I now have a new favorite color when things get tough.

​

I can't wait to try other colors throughout the year.  Thanks for a great product!
