Going to be a run on blackbird baits tomorrow ........lol.

How crazy is that? Watched how Martens was fishing it. Sometimes the Tules were over head high.

Some people think he is crazy, I think he is a bright sum b!tch!!

its a frog thing...

I have been riding with the pros for 6 years now in the TTBC. Aaron was by far the most interesting guy I have rode with in terms of what he is thinking and doing. He pays crazy attention to what he is doing, why he is doing it and his equipment. There is a reason he is consistently in the upper echelon. He is just that good.

Others I have rode with were no slouches. Evers, Dudley, Thrift, Ike, Tak, Klein, Rose, Strader, R Lane

Aaron was the most interesting.

You guys have never heard of this or seen it?

Its common in the Neb and Kansas area, one of my Favorite spots here in Colo is a blackbird nesting area.

ive seen it.

Lots of bigger topwaters come in a blackbird color--very productive.

North lake,Marine creek many moons ago.

google yellow headed black bird bait... they use them a bunch in cali

The poppin frog in that cali color does not work here though, it s only good out there in the west so don't waste your time...

My dad always taught me to use a black buzzbait because of the red winged black birds that used to nest and live in the reeds at lakes. He caught his biggest fish ever with that bait in front of the reeds that used to be right in front of Vals Landing at Fork after he switched out my white buzzbait I had tied on. I still have that picture of him and that bass and you can bet I have used black buzzbaits many times since that day. I have also heard of people talk about using them to match black dragon fly's on Sam Rayburn.

We used to throw a black Snagg Proof frog around red-winged black bird nesting areas on the delta. Worked great and was a great way to catch big fish.

David what's your opinion on it? What's the tie? Birds or what?

"Flippin-the-Bird" sells a Red Wing Blackbird model.
