Name:
Clint Montgomery
Lake:
Hiawassee
(N. Carolina)
Clint Montgomery (shown) and his fishin' buddy, Derek Cheek were fishing on Lake Hiawassee in Western North Carolina working a pretty good fall shallow Mini-me bite. This old girl absolutely SMASHED that Mini-me! I mean from as hard as I could turn a 7:1 reel to stop, in an instant.
Name:
Jim Good
Lake:
South America
Jim Good of Miami, FL takes the occasional trip to South America, fishing for those super strong Peacock Bass. He takes S.O.B. spinnerbaits along as his go-to bait. Here is the proof that they work on the Peacocks!
Bill,
Received the spinnerbaits today and they are GORGEOUS. Nice work!! Even though I've fished 12 hours during the last 36 on my recent trip, I can't wait to get out again with these beauties in the box. Next time, I'll remember to get my order in a little earlier in the season.
Thanks,
Rich

He followed that with a 2nd place finish on Lake Amistad and a sixth place in the BASS Central Open on the Red River. Clark visited the S.O.B. shop one weekend and ended up developing his own version of the "Sexy Shad" color in a spinnerbait ... we call it "Th' Reehmer" in his honor! IT WORKS !!!
Ryan Coleman
Ryan is THE guy who is most responsible for the development of the "Mini-Me" Without Ryan's expert knowledge and dogged determination, the "Mini-Me" would not have become reality.

He has also won or placed very high in a few BASS Open and FLW Stren tournaments as well as winning several local area tournaments.

For Kelly, bass fishing is truly a passion that he shares with millions of other anglers who have become addicted to this mysterious predator we call bass ... and our continuous quest for new ways to catch them !!!

Jon Brown
Jon uses S.O.B. spinnerbaits because he proudy claims they flat out work. He likes the fact that they are made by an angler for anglers in the USA. His personal favorite is the Mini-Me, and it is his go-to spinnerbait. Jon comes from Shreveport, La and fishes the Red River regularly.
Eagleson's Victory on Toledo Bend!
November 11th, 2009
I almost feel guilty about fishing the S.O.B. "Mini-Me" at tournaments!!! It truly is a money maker! As you know I recently fished and WON a BASS Open tournament on Toledo Bend where conditions were somewhat unfavorable due to the recent rains and flooding Louisiana had received.
However, I felt real confident knowing I had one thing in my Bullet Boat the other competitors didn't have! The Black / Silver Mini-Me (PD01) you built for me. It was the victory bait! I took heavy stringer (20.62) and Big Bass (10.02lbs) !!!
Thanks to you and your staff for listening to us as fisherman and designing the best spinner bait on the market today! Truly a remarkable bait! There isn't one on the market today that comes close to the craftsmanship of yours.
