Was great meeting you and can't wait to see some Simbasow Moomows caught off the baits I had a hand in producing. Crazy time in my life right now. Lots of transitions and changes.

I don’t know if you are old enough to remember the helicopter lure craze but you know what they are and have used them or at least seen them before but the hook that use and the swivel is on the hook I have used them hooks for Jerk baits and floating worms since they come out and let the one end of the swivel stick in the front with the small end that swivels sticking out and tie to it and it gives the no line twist and gives the nose a slow down nose first fall that no one else uses and the fish doesn’t see and will kill it on sight every time!!! Try it out brother it’s a killer rig

Swim baits is all I throw. And right now Golden Belt customs beats everything I got. It’s a glide bait that glides amazing every time and for a big 9” glide you can reel as fast as possible and yank on the rod and it will glide back and forth like a crank bait and you can’t do that with traditional glides I don’t know how he does it his name is Mike Stacey.

He’s still onboard - just shifting the vlogs and podcast editing off of Trait and on to Charles to help get the quality up and let her focus on all the business stuff she manages. And then I won’t have to film myself for vlogs which has consumed a lot of my focus. Johnny will still be doing our once a month long form “film series” which is his passion. It will elevate our overall quality for you guys while also allowing everyone on the team to focus on their strengths. We actually had a 2nd filmer hired to start the season and he quit 24 hours in. It isn’t easy to find young filmers that want to hustle, they all want to start at the top. Charles is a blessing!
