A company called Moaner Hooks has just appeared on the internet bass scene with information about an alternative line of hooks and a new jig head they are offering. They boast Tour Grade performance without the price and their prices are great.

Moaners come in two weights, in three sizes and both use screw locks for the bait attachment.   They offer swim bait style hooks that look great, their hooks fish great and the prices are hard to beat! Their new style standup jig also uses a screw lock and is just as good. It’s got a stiff hook, it’s sharp and it just adds to their awesome lineup with the same affordable price.

While you are there, subscribers to the Moaner Newsletter will be privilege to special offers and product related news. Some early subscribers even have a chance to get some Moaner product before the rest so look for it if your interested. If you use hooks to fish for bass, these hooks are worth the look.

Moaner Hooks

White 6′ rubber curl tails with a 1/2 oz or 3/4 oz scrounger. They
were deadly when they first came out with this scrounger and they
still are today. I troll with them on the Napa River in California ,
and it’s my number one choice for targeting Striped Bass. Try bouncing
them off the bottom close to the shore line in 5 to 10 ft. of water.

Thanks for taking the time to share your goto scrounger bait with everyone.

We have plenty of scroungers on the way in every size and we expect be have them available sometime between the 10th and 21st of March. Be sure to check back soon, they may go fast. We will be sending an email from here to all the newsletter subscribers and also an email to the ScroungerShop members giving our readers first shot at stocking up.

We sure are sorry things have taken so long as things get sorted out. Thanks for your patience.

There is actually an episode of Hook-n-Look filmed on one of the great lakes using the small craw on a jighead and it was on fire. During the show, they were targeting bedding smallmouth and this bait produced like a piece of candy. The baby craw caught them swimming, it caught them sitting and it seemed that this offering couldn’t be fished wrong. Add this to a scrounger and the odds are in your favor for sure!

If you haven’t seen the Baby Rage Craw yet, you should visit RageTail.com for more information about its uses and designed applications. Checkout the RageTalk forums if you have any questions about their line of baits, friendly bunch they are. As for purchasing some baby craws for yourself, they are available online just about anywhere and most stores across the country are carrying them this season.

Another great aspect of the Smokin’ Rooster is to rig it vertically like you might do with a beaver style bait. Remove one arm, rig it vertical and you now have a completely different profile with the same bait packed full of that the same great action and believe me, fish have never seen that before!

Tight lines everyone!

This is a question many people have been asking and without going into a lot of detail, I would like to shed some light on the current situation as I understand it to be. It’s time to put an end to the many rumors spreading among anglers and the various places on the Internet having some sort of distorted version of the facts displayed to the public.

Aaron Martens Lures has not been sold!

During the summer of 2009, an agreement was made between AML and the Luck e Strike corporation to produce and market the scrounger jig head. The main goal: to get the scrounger jig in BPS and many other national chain stores.

Within a couple months, the agreement fell apart, the contract was breached and now fisherman everywhere suffer the consequences of stopped production of the quality AML scrounger head.  AML has been forced to stop production of the scrounger pending appearing in a Missouri court to dispute a temporary restraining order filed by Luck e Strike corporation. Unfortunately, the court date had to be delayed because Scott from AML who has been suffering with cancer couldn’t put-off a badly needed surgery to combat his progressing cancer any longer. The re-scheduled date is March 10th.

In short of it all, the Luck e Strike corporation, who (in my opinion) breached contract due to non-payment as per the agreement, whom acquired all existing AML supplies and production molds, who suddenly couldn’t produce the scrounger as expected, makes one last ditch effort to crush AML. Could it be that they want the scrounger for themselves to capitalize on all the recent hype? Why else would LS stop AML’s production via a frivolous restraining order.

Now, I know everyone is looking for scroungers, demand is high and stock is low everywhere. You may even see a Luck e Strike knock-off scrounger online at the BPS website from time to time, then gone, then back, then gone again. They advertise all kinds of scroungers in the catalog but, can you get them? The price has been literally cut in half, can they be the same quality, I doubt it. Will they swim the same, I doubt it. Fact is, if you want cheap, you can get it from Luck e Strike. Just remember, you get what you pay for. If you want a quality scrounger, wait a little while longer and when all this BS is settled in court, some real scroungers will return to the market. Not only will they return, they may even return with a full story including the documentation of the facts as documented by a court.

The truth will prevail and be documented in the end!

Picture yourself holding this same check, what a dream come true, scroungers can make it a reality. Greg Hackney has thrown scroungers with a 3” soft-plastic shad to help seal his win in the 2009 FLW Forrest Wood Cup, and he took home $500,000.

Skeete Reese uses them and was quoted as saying, “I fished offshore at Jordan (Lake in Wetumpka , Ala)  and caught 90% of the fish I weighed-in 1st day using a Scrounger Head with a soft plastic jerkbait trailer.” These are two high profile pros and they know scroungers work.

The Scroungers create an almost a unreal vibration and provide outstanding action.  Paired with your favorite soft plastic or jig trailer you have one of the best kept secrets of late.  A Minda spear worm, a  Strike King Rage Tail Craw,  Creature Baits,  even with Skirts it’s NO PROBLEM getting a different action using scroungers.

These are so versatile and easy to use, there is just not a bad way to fish them. Almost anything works with a scrounger.  Throw them out, count them down to your desired depth, reel them, twitch them, burn them, slow reel them, jerk them, you just can’t go wrong.

The Berkley power minnow is also available in smaller sizes which allow you to scale back and create a great finesse combination with the 1/8oz. scroungers.

This is great all-around scrounger combination for LM & SM Bass and even Walleye. With quite a few colors to choose from and a variety of fluke sizes, it’s not hard to put together a winning combination for any species from panfish like crappie to big game fish like Northern Pike.

You can order these solid-bodied swimbaits by visiting Bass Storm Lures.
