Last year’s dedication to big baits during the Swimbait Rod Wars brought about some serious lack of on the water mojo for the TackleTour crew. Sure we caught our fish, but as anyone hip to the big bait bite will attest, the droughts in between can be monumental.
We started preparing for our Year of the Crank during the fall of 2008, but the bad mojo from the Swimbait Rod Wars seemed to follow us, or at the very least, me around. On countless occasions, when invited to fish “hot” bites, we’d shut those frenzies down the second we touched the launch ramp. We couldn’t even get into the usual good striper bite in the fall.
Needless to say, prospects for the Crankbait Rod Wars were looking bleak, but we were hopeful something would materialize to change our fortunes.
Enter Leo with word of a new Lucky Swimbait Necklace made by Eddie Rodriquez of Ace Jewlery in Las Vegas. Could this charm provide the needed mojo to lift the TackleTour Jinx?
The LSN is available at Monster Tackle
We met up with Leo on Clear Lake, CA to see, but the day was not starting off well as just before Zander and Cal left TT HQ for the long, three hour drive up to Clear Lake, a skunk literally crossed the road in front of us. The bad mojo was strong this morning!
Skeet Reese and Mike Iaconelli sport the new Lucky Swimbait Necklace to finish 1, 2 at the Bassmaster Classic!
Out on the water, all three of us donned our Lucky Swimbait Necklaces, but it seemed the Bad TackleTour Mojo might just win out. Again, recent “hot bite” spots were not panning out and it seemed the TT Crew was about to squash another hopeful day on the water.
Gerald Swindle, Ish Monroe, & Jarrett Edwards are also hip to the LSN Mojo.
Then, finally, it happened … Magic hour, and in the middle of the morning, the Crankbait Rod Wars were back on track. We started hooking into fish on every second or third cast. We were official believers in the Lucky Swimbait Necklace (LSN) Mojo

Later that same day, while still on the water, we caught word Brett Ehrler and Cody Meyer just finished number one and number three respectively at the FLW Lake Havasu tourney. Guess what they were wearing around their necks?
I am betting you are all tired of hearing about this – but, I wanted to let you know the new version is now available.
There are 21 available and they are $59.99 They are still .925 silver and they have a Ruby in the eye instead of a diamond. The red eye looks awesome in it!
There have been 3 tournaments won and over $900,000 won by people wearing the Lucky necklace in 2 months.
PLUS that Dug won a Necklace with the Mojo he received from buying one!

Darn – I was half a sleep after a hard weekend fishing – Typos, spelling errors and more. Sorry but, I think you all got the idea sorry for the typo on your name CAL!
Cal has more toys than Santa! good to see they are getting chewed on!
it’s also good to see the weights are back up hopefully the rest of the year is a slug fest
time to go pour up a bowl of me Lucky Charms!
Edit to previous fish: Cak caught a really nice “Swimbait Fish” not a swimbait.
– It’s up to Cal to tell you what swimbait – but, it’s going to be a hit when it finally hits the market!
Cal caught a really nice swimbait later in the day – on a SICK swimbait that I’ve gotta get my hands on!
I may need to beg a little. Cal are you going to give up the info?
Also – it looks like we caught all the good ones – I only had 18 lbs today in the tournament – Oh well, we got some great testing done on the rods, reels and baits!
It was a fun time for sure…. And for anyone interested – To get the LSN (Lucky Swimbait Necklace – click on the Monster Fishing Tackle link on this page or from TackleTour’s page) There are about 5 left of the orignal 21! .925 Silver with a geniune green Diamond eye!
oh we threw swimbaits too
LOL you guys cranked up some fish with the lucky “swimbait” necklaces on?!?! just think of how big the fish would have been if you would have thrown swimbaits : P sorry you set that one up!
