S&K Guide Service and Delaware tackle are already known for the outstanding prices, features, and customer service, and this is another fine edition to the already fast growing website and store.

(PRWEB) January 30, 2005 -- S&K Guide Service has been growing at leaps and bounds, and new products and services are arriving almost daily now. The addition of the "Black Mamba" baits will only enhance the already famous reputation of S&K Guide Service, which provides information and discounts to tournament anglers, clubs, and federations.

Just a couple of the many great things about the Black Mamba® baits is that they are so simple to use and it is very hard to fish them wrong. You can go out, pop one on the hook in just a few seconds, cast out, jerk the rod tip, reel in the slack line and set the hook when a fish bites. It's that easy to catch fish.

To get started, all you need to do is study the Instructional leaflet that comes with the Sampler Pack (or the inside of our header card if you have bought bags of baits), so that you can perform the basic rigging and in a few minutes, you'll be ready to go.

They have produced a couple of instructional videos to help you get the most out of your baits. Our Instructional Video is specifically for fishermen who are new to this kind of bait and covers several different species. We don't just show you how to rig the baits but also how to catch more fish. The Instructional Video is included with our Sampler Pack but can also be bought separately for those who prefer to buy the baits in bags.

They have also produced another videotape for more experienced fishermen, focusing mostly on Bass but several other species are included. This videotape is called "Up your Catch" and is aptly named. There is a little overlap with the Instructional Video but this one goes into much more detail about how to catch more fish.

These baits fall into the general category of soft-plastic jerkbaits and as such, have no built-in action of their own. They rely on you jerking the rod tip to impart their action. When you jerk the rod tip, the baits will react for several seconds afterwards without you needing to do anything else.

We strongly recommend the use of a braided line such as PowerPro. This way, you can get the best of all worlds. 20lb PowerPro is about the same diameter as 8lb test monofilament line. However, you have the added benefits of the extra strength plus it doesn't stretch. These baits will cast a long way and if you get a bite 25 yards away, you will be in direct contact with the bait and the fish. If you move the rod tip an inch, the bait moves an inch. This is most important when you come to set the hook. With monofilament, you have to do a huge, sweeping hookset to get the bait to move at all.

Bear in mind also, that the bait will virtually suspend. So if a fish hits the bait and misses, just leave it there. Let it sink very slowly and the fish will come right back and eat it 70 or 80% of the time because it thinks it stunned it!

Nose-up- If you move the hook point a little further forward, it will cause the nose of the bait to turn up slightly. If you now cast the bait and retrieve it with a jerk, stop action, the bait will act like a popper. The big advantage of using a Black Mamba® bait in this mode is that you don't have to deal with treble hooks, so you can throw the bait into areas that you would never dream of throwing a popper into for fear of getting snagged.

If you hook the bait the same way and just reel it in steadily, it works like a subtle buzzbait (is that an oxymoron?). However, the Black Mamba® bait offers a much more acceptable profile, feel and taste than a buzzbait. Plus, it will suspend and so can be fished very slowly because it will not sink like a stone when stopped, as a buzzbait would. This technique works especially well in shallow, emergent vegetation (the kind of stuff that clogs up your spinnerbaits), where a buzzbait would be too aggressive an approach and would spook the fish. Plus, the Black Mamba® bait does not get clogged up with weeds and algae.

Short-strikers- If you have short-striking fish, merely thread the the bait further down the hook, so the point now exits more towards the tail. It hardly affects the action of the bait and will catch you those short-strikers.

Skipping the baits allows you to cover docks and overhanging trees and bushes much more thoroughly and in less than half the time than you can using more conventional methods such as pitching and flipping. This allows you to fish twice as many docks or trees in the same time period, which by default, puts you in front of twice as many fish.

A short while practicing will yield impressive results. Actually getting the baits to skip is very easy, getting a good degree of accuracy takes a little practice and getting all of the fish that you hook out from under the cover is another thing altogether! That's where the stout rod, good drag and the superline come in!

This is one of the hottest baits on the tournament trails right now, and have been producing winning limits in Canada for some time, and are now being introduced in the United States to tournament anglers with great results.
