I was just wondering if anyone has been trying these out.. Jon gillespy( the lound and Crazy guy) always seems to be catching fish on them on his fishing show waters and woods….

I use them often. Although I’ve found I don’t need to wave my arms over my head and yell “holy cow, get the frabill” to get them to work. The hooks are a bit small and whimpy in my opinion, but the have a good action… cast and retrieved or jigged.
October 29, 2002 at 5:43 pm #247416But do you say-“another one on the zip lure!” or sing “zip-di-di-doo-dah”???
October 29, 2002 at 5:53 pm #247417I’ve tried that. Nobody wanted to fish with me anymore and I honestly couldn’t stand being around myselft either. Gave it up and found happiness again
October 29, 2002 at 7:58 pm #247427u have to admidt,, even though john is part loon,,, he can sure find the guides that put him on fish,,,,Well they must b good if he can even put some in the boat,,
October 29, 2002 at 8:05 pm #247428True, but @ what cost. I’ll bet ol’ Pete Maina doesn’t put up w/ John for free. That has got to be like running a daycare on water w/ him in the boat. But, you have got to hand it to John, he sure is entertaining. I would miss his show if it ever got cancelled.

My guess is you have to sing that really annoying Zip lure song while fishing, in order for it to work.
