How good is the hook-up
ratio with your snakes? Doesn't the stretchy material in
most baits that are bouyant and flexible make it harder
to set the hook?
We use a 5/0 custom VMC
widegap hook which allows a very good hook up ratio
8/10, I would say. Really it seems as though the fish
savagely hammer this Snake and they always hit him in
the head first. Therefore your hooked ratio is higher.
The major problem is 90% of anglers fishing topwater
baits is, once the strike occurs , not waiting 3-5
seconds before setting the hook, As the fish has to
expel water, weeds, etc through its gills after the
attack on the lure. Unfortunately many of us get so
excited we instinctively immediately set the hook. You
need to let her close her mouth down around that lure,
point that tip at her and try to break your rod. Try
this and I assure you your hook up ratio will increase
dramatically. |

Does your snake lure have
a separate floating head?
You may have seen an earlier incarnation of my snake
lure that had a foam head, but the plastic tail section
hung down 90 degrees unless you were constantly
retrieving it. My current Fishing Snake does not have a
separate head. The material we use is extremely buoyant
and stretchy allowing the entire lure to float. It coils
up into what we term a defensive posture right on the
water surface. |

How do I fish the snake on
a semi-highland lake that has no grass? The two major
creeks have some standing timber in deep water. The lake
has rocks and some stumps. Does the water temp need to
be above 70? How would you fish this lake.
Trial and error always works, however, yes I would
certainly fish the stumps/wood. Then the creeks for sure
- the mouths especially. Where do you find turtles?
Snakes are nearby as well. Try the white first. I caught
44 yesterday, slow 2-4 inch twitches. Cast to the
shoreline and slither him off. The shore temperature is
much warmer than deeper water, therefore active fish.

Where would you suggest
using the snake while fishing from a bank, rocky
weedy,ect...also would you suggest using a snake on
rivers. Wherever
you would naturally find snakes is where you need to
fish this lure. We have caught fish from all bodies of
water - Rivers, Lakes, Ponds, even Streams. The fact is,
snakes are found everywhere and in every state except
Alaska, and Large predatory gamefish make them a normal
part of their feeding regime. |

How soon will a large
mouth bass bite after it has been hooked?
If the water is warm,
it can take several hours, but it is usually less than
30 minutes. The colder the water is, the slower a bass
brain works. If the water is in the 50's F, the fish
may not even realize it has been caught before it is
over and has been released. In that case, I have caught
and released bass and watched them hit the same lure on
the next cast...amazing! |

What is the best place to
use your snake? Lakes, rivers, or streams?
Rivers, lakes, ponds all
are great for the snakes, 9 snakes in the package plus
many more items. These snakes last 10X's what 1 plastic
worm lasts - they stretch to 4 feet without breaking,
and float on the surface of the water, and swim like
nothing you have ever seen. BIG fish crush them I caught
24 fish on 1 snake Yesterday and it is still in great
shape. |

What technique is the best
for the snakes?
Slow 2-4" twitches, as
though the snake is searching for a meal himself along
the edges. Although, just had a guy Danny G. of
Auburndale Fl. call last week, said he caught 41 lb's/ 5
fish limit from Lake Kissimmee, on Black Moccasin
snakes, he casts completely onto the bank retrieves just
to the edge so that 2-3 inches of the lure are in the
water, then slightly bounces it up and down creating
ripples/vibrations in the water in effect alerting all
predators this snake is about to enter the water. At
that point he retrieves in a medium speed retrieve and
says hold on as they VICIOUSLY strike this Snake. |

Would the snake work at
night? One of the
most deadly lures of all is a big snake or worm fished
at night under the moon. Tighten your drag! |
