The
Secret is Out! |
|
|
Never before has a product slogan been more fitting
than the one on every package of MegaStrike. “The Secret is out,” is
likely something a lot of tour pros didn’t want to hear. If you haven’t
already jumped on board the MegaStrike bandwagon, you are without
a doubt, missing tons of fish. With the increased popularity of fishing,
decreasing number of fishable waters and an overwhelming increase
in angler’s skill levels, it is more important now than any other
time in history, to use every available resource in order to catch
fish. |

The sole creation of New Jersey native Bobby
Uhrig, MegaStrike is a fish attractant years ahead
of its time. Made of amino acids, proteins and a few other secret
ingredients,
this product contains items that every fish “needs” to
stay alive. I have personally witnessed the power ofthis product. The fish
seem to grab MegaStrike coated baits and hold on as if
they have Lock Jaw. This product definitely has some
major holding
power.
In reality the longer a fish holds onto the bait, the
more time the angler has to set the hook. For pros and
average
anglers alike, more time to set the hook, equates to
catching a lot
more
fish.

MegaStrike is produced in
the consistency of a very manageable gel. It comes in a clean and
convenient tube. Unlike spray or liquid attractants, MegaStrike will
not get all over you and your boat when applied. The significance
of this attribute is less waste and less damage to your valuable
boat carpet. You also won’t cross the weigh-in stage smelling like
a dead crawfish or a rotten nightcrawler because of over-spray
covering your clothing.

Another extremely beneficial aspect of this product
is the length of time it will remain on lures. When the
water is below the 76-78 degree mark, MegaStrike will stay on for
several hours. Once the water temperature surpasses that range,
you will
need to apply the product every hour or two. When I first
started using the product, I conducted my own test. Although
my study
wasn’t
scientific, it reinforced the fact that this stuff is like
a magnet to all types of lures. I covered a jig with MegaStrike
and
placed
it in my aquarium directly beneath the waterfall filter.
The constant water flow of this location somewhat simulated
a bait
running through
the water. The water temperature at the time of the test
was 63 degrees. Initially I smelled the bait every 30 minutes
to see
if the MegaStrike
was still on it. That time was eventually increased to
every 2 hours. After the first day of testing, it was apparent
that
the product
was not going to wear off any time soon. When it was all
finalized, MegaStrike had remained on that jig, in running
water for a period
of 4 consecutive days without any reapplication of the
product. To all anglers whether you fish in tournaments or
otherwise,
this means
that you spend less time applying attractants and a lot
more time fishing

During a recent tournament trip to the upper Mississippi
River in Wisconsin, I used MegaStrike on a Senko™. I was pitching
the Senko™ to large clumps of isolated grass. On one occasion, I
had a bass explode on the bait as soon as it hit the water. Immediately
I set the hook and started cranking. The fish was completely covered
with grass so I couldn’t see how big it was. My partner netted the
fish and I picked away the grassy shield to find a small 13 ˝” bass.
The most intriguing part of the experience came after I released
the fish. I looked down at my Senko™ which had fallen out into the
net. Upon further examination, I was dumbfounded. The hook had not
(I repeat, Had Not) penetrated the Senko™. For those of you that
are familiar with the Senko™, you know that it is extremely soft
and minimal pressure will cause the hook to become completely exposed.
I just couldn’t believe that I pulled in a feisty 13 ˝” bass and
a few pounds of grass without ever getting a hook in the fish. Believe
me, this is not one of those famous fisherman’s stories. I saw
this with my own eyes and to this day, it still amazes me. It was
very
apparent that the bass was really enjoying the all natural taste
of MegaStrike in his mouth

Don’t just take my word for it that this is one awesome
product. To date, over $500,000 has been won by tournament anglers
using MegaStrike. Not all of us are willing to admit it but you
can bet your paycheck that there are a lot of hidden MegaStrike tubes
in bass boats at tournaments all over the country. For more information
about MegaStrike, to read testimony from touring pros or if you
would like to purchase your own tube visit them online at www.MegaStrike.com or
ask your local tackle retailer to carry the product.
