I will give you my story. I am fairly new to the fishing scene. Been fishing pretty steady now for about 5 years. I used to buy every catfish bait that was sold. I would catch 4-5 fish a day and thought I was doing pretty good. Joined this site and started seeing all the fish that Stubby was catching and got interested in his bait. I sent a PM to him wanting to buy some. Told him I was gonna be at Fork and we made arrangements to meet at a certain spot on the lake. My wife and I met him out on the lake and purchased some bait. I asked him if he could just point me in a general area to catch some fish. He pointed out a couple of trees about 50 yards from where we were at the time. We tied up and started catching fish almost immediately . After about an hour , he pulled back up and tied his boat to mine and showed us how he used his product. We caught 26 fish that day and have been good friends since. With his help and teaching me a few things, I now usually catch 40-60 fish every time I go fishing. A couple of my good friends now use his bait. I turned TWS onto Stubbys bait also. You see the pics he posts. He catches lots also. Long story short, I stay loyal to Stubby and his bait because of two main reasons. First, he took me under his wing when he owed me nothing and second is because he is just an all around good person. I have only known him a few years now, but people like him are hard to come by. I keep my circle small, but he is part of it.
When I first bought my first jar had trouble keeping it on hook when fishing on the bottom. I thought it would stay on the hook when reeled in, and posted on here. Stubby contacted me and told me how to fish it,and that as a dough bait it melts off. He spent at least 30 minutes informing and bsing. He and his wife are good people.
