Cat's out of the bag.

Well, its been a year and a half in the making. This little sucker put me and my good friend Benno Heune through the ringer, but I am finally in the process of building my final molds. My goal is to get them out to you guys for the prime summer bite.

The Pack Rat was designed to be fished in, around, on top of and under just about anything. It has an enticing double foot kick and a curl tail to close the deal. It is amazing how this bait darts through the thickest cover. The JSJ Pack Rat must be fished on a large bottom-weighted swimbait hook, just like many smaller swimbaits on the market. I have pulled this bait by people's boats and fooled them into thinking it was a real rat on my line. Thanks to all who have kept this bait a secret for me as I did not want to hit the soft bait market quietly.

This is the one and only truly weedless rat to hit the market. The first to be released is a 4 1/2 inch body not including the tail. We are currently working on a smaller version (The Rug Rat) that will be sold in a multiple pack. We have a magnum size we played with in the prototyping stages as well . . .time will tell.
