I fished TTL on Wed evening and there was a guy there who I watched catch four nice size bass (about 2-3 lbs) on a weird lure that I've never seen before. It was basically a pink teardrop-shaped piece of led with a single spinner blade on the back end. He called it a "little george".

Has anyone ever seen one of these?

He was lobbing it way out and then taking the slack out of the line as it fell. Apparently the bass would hit it on the way down.

Meanwhile, I fished for bass on and off with spinnerbaits and kastmasters, and got Nothing. (I did catch a bunch of gay bass however on spinners.)

DUDE

SHUT UP! that lure sucks and never works anywhere else and you cannot buy it at any store OR order it online anywhere so do not EVER mention it again.

tailspinners have been around longer than my grandma! I havent fished one in a while, but this time of year they are great.

What?

What's up with that reply, GUEST? I appreciate advice, but let's keep it constructive.

Al Sharpton, is that you?

Little george is made by Manns and used to be everywhere. Great little lure that is guaranteed to hang on the smallest rock or bit of brush you can find! -dryheat

I think that Guest reply was tongue-in-cheek!

 

[Guest]

oops

Oops, I guess I missed the sarcasm. That's where the emoticons help out - with thick headed guys like me.

If you want to catch bass at TTL just throw roostertails or maybe a small crank underneath the Mill Ave Bridge next to the pilings..........good luck this time of year because everybody and the moms is fishing for trout in the same spot.......

Guest: dont try to keep a 400 year old bait a secret, it just wont work. :lol:

I always imagine the inventor of the Little George as a very small person. (I'm trying to be PC here and not say he's a midget.)

 

[Guest]

yea it was sarcasm kinda like saying "did anyone see this new lure called a rubber worm. I used one at pleasant and killed em...does anyone know where i can get a rubber worm?"

 

[B Mc B]

go to ------ !

Yeah, guest, that's exactly the same. Excuse me for not being as smart as you and knowing every lure that's ever been made. It's people like you that need to make themselves feel good trying to make other people feel stupid on a forum.

Should those of us less bass-godly than you stay off the site, or the lake for that matter? Go beat your dog.

WOW

Did this thread take a turn or what???? By the way I saw a guy fishing in Rosy in a white Gambler,he looked like a real stud. He was catching bass at such a high rate of speed the water was boiling. When I asked him what he was using. He glanced at me and said with a menacing tone " a Big-o my little grasshopper" where can I get these baits I believe he was and is a BASS GOD I think his name is Darryl

Darryl,
I guess I take that as a no for Friday then huh? No reply, nothing and sounds like maybe you have made plans with another angler. Darn I must not be a BASSGOD. Oh well back to the drawing board..cant say I didnt try.

 

[Spidey]

The Little George is an awesome bait. I have bragged it up for a long time. There is an Oooowa Oooowwa Ooooh!! presentation that is killer. Never criticize a sissy bait. I buy them a dozen at a time from Cabela's or BPS. Hammered Chrome or Chrome with a black back.

flippin stick

Sorry again,
Darryl

 

[Guest]

damn mc b I guess that the lining of a fishes mouth is thicker than your skin. I sure do feel bad for making you feel bad. I suggest a few midols and you might feel a bit better...

 

[Rippinlips]

B Mc B..... don't take anything personal if the posts aren't signed. Check out Spidey's post. He's the Little George (otherwise known as "sissy bait") king of this site.

The Little George tailspinner was invented by Tom Mann, the founder of Mann's Bait Company, Alabama. Tom Mann named it after the governor of Alabama, which at the time was George Wallace.

Huh! I didn't know George Wallace was a small person.
