Best time of my life. I was in a fraternity, worked three jobs, took 18-21 units a semester and still found time to party hard. I made some good friends and partied with some really fun chicks. In the great words of Van Wilder- "Don't be fool wrap your too!l"

I fish some of rago's stuff but there are a long list of defective baits and some of it is because of quality control. Some is just poor design. Examples of design flaws would be the raptor tails that break easy and the top trout tail sections that break even easier. The top trout gets bit well but might break before you even get a fish. As for quality control the glideator tails breaking was a big one. He fixed it and I like the two glides I have. The finish wasn't the greatest as mine had a hair in it and seems to chip easy. But I bought them to catch fish not look pretty. Overall I feel like for the price rago's baits could be better but he does put out baits that stick fish. As for rats, I say make your own. It's pretty easy. I wouldn't pay the price I see for the rats out there Second that X2

For me it's simple - it either puts fish in the boat or it doesn't. Other big baits were getting bit, this one wasn't. Natural colors were getting bit, bright white wasn't. What other baits?

I did. Got nothing, not even a follower. lol. I can't count the number of times In have fished a hudd or a son or any other swimbait for that matter and not got a follower...doesn't mean it doesn't work. Could be just wrong place wrong time...or it could also just not be the right bait for your style of fishing; but that is a whole different topic.

I am not saying that they aren't there...I just personally would not invest my time and $ on that type of quest on that lake. There are other lakes near us that are on the incline with more potential. Folsom is a beast. If you got it dialed that is awesome...but man, that place can be a biotch for me 9 months out of the year.

Should have just fished it. I use to get all hung up on this stuff and I don't think color matters as much as we think it does. White baits get smoked in gin clear water, so do pink, chartreuse, red etc...I don't think it would have mattered if it is a blue gill or white. I catch a ton of fish on an all white sons, paintless hudds in water with 15-30ft visibility...same with pink and chartreuse...if they are going to eat it then they are going to eat it whether it is zebra striped or blue gill pattern. Either way you are still going to have a nice paint job
