"Hi there, Ed.

As promised, I've attached a cell phone picture I took of a distressed planter trout next to one of your Baitsmith Magnum trout baits.

I was shore fishing a local lake with the Magnum Trout a few hours following a trout stocking when the little guy surfaced in front of me. I couldn’t believe the similarities in pattern, color and hue between your product and the live trout so I snapped this pic and sent it to all of my fishing buddies. Most, including myself had never seen a match the hatch presentation executed so perfectly. Although the big fish didn’t come out to eat that day, knowing how perfectly matched my bait was to the situation gave me a ton of confidence in what I was throwing and I haven’t put the bait down since.

It was a pleasure meeting your group at the Bass Jam on Saturday. I only wish I could have stuck around a bit longer to pick your brains a bit more about rigging options and fishing presentations for your line of baits.

Regards,

Patrick Doran"


This email was submittted by BaitSmith angler Patrick Doran. We ran into Patrick at Bass Jam 09 and when he told us this story and showed us this picture we asked him to submit it for the website.  The picture was taken with his cell phone, but I think we get the point. Thank you Patrick for thinking about sharing this picture, and thank you for fishing BaitSmith!
