J.J.'s MAGIC

DIPPIN DYE with GARLIC

Introduction
Fish attractants have been around for a long time. Attractants have been manufactured in sprays, liquids, creams, pastes, and gels in a variety of scents and colors. Some work and truthfully some don't. The retail price really doesn't seem to be a valid indication of how good the product will be, so unless you have a good reliable source of information or recommendation from someone buying scents and dyes are a roll of the dice at best. If you are like me all you have to do is look at the baits and equipment you never caught fish on to prove my point. Fess Up! Several hundred dollars worth right?

So in my old age I have become (Rena my wife says cranky) but more to the point very very selective in what I buy and more importantly what I endorse. If you were sitting here in my office with me tonight you would see several boxes of baits-tackle and accessories that companies have sent to me asking for an endorsement on our site. If you click on the Product Archive Tab you will find all the products that I have written reviews on. You will also find that each has earned a positive endorsement. Why? Because they work like they are suppose to. They are good products that I as a full time guide and owner of Tennessee Bass Guides Inc. personally use on a regular basis and find reliable.

You see, if I try something and it doesn't work I simply just won't write a review. I guess it go's  back to how I was raised. You know "If you can't say something good, just don't say anything at all." So any product review you read on my site will be about products that most definitely works for me and my team of guides. As a matter of fact just this week on four guide trips my clients and I caught a combination of 84 Smallmouth-Largemouth and Spotted Bass on 4 inch plastic worms I soaked with this product. We will talk more about this in the paragraphs below.  You can see pictures of the fish on my site. JJ Polak and Alan Summer have formulated a fantastic product that has ALREADY helped me catch more fish and it will do the same for you if you will use it correctly.

Company History
Alan Summer invented a dye for soft plastic baits back in the early 1980's. Alan having a start up business marketed his dye locally and this is when he met JJ Polak. Alan told JJ about the product and urged him to try it. JJ put the product to a rigorous test on the water and determined that if Alan would add garlic oil to the dye it would enhance the product greatly as a fish attractant.  The result was a new formula that would allow the dye to penetrate into soft plastic baits. Let me emphasize this again, it penetrates into the plastic and the scent will remain in the bait. When Alan and JJ tested this new formula they found that their bites increased and that the fish held onto the bait longer. They had other tournament anglers test it as well and the rest is now history. Alan-JJ and JJ's two sons Andy and Marty formed a company that is now known as Fish Chemicals and market the product known as J.J.'s Magic.

What Does The Product Do?
First of all J.J.'s Magic is a dippin dye solution that is designed to let you customize your soft plastic baits which is a great benefit. BUT.....To me the greatest benefit is that it penetrates the bait and the scent won't ware off.  Every since JJ sent me this product I have put it to the test. One of the lakes that I guide here in middle Tennessee is Tim's Ford which is located between Nashville and Chattanooga. Tim's is known for it's Smallmouth population but also has an abundance of Largemouth and Spotted Bass as well. I had been on a fairly good bite on a small 4 inch worm fished on a jig head. Many times the bite was very subtle and I found that some of my clients would have trouble "Feeling" the hit. Well, when JJ sent me his product to test, my attention was drawn immediately to the Clear Garlic scent, and let me explain why. The bass like the little Junebug colored worm that I have been using so I certainly didn't want to alter the color...BUT.....I sure wanted to add the garlic scent to the worm hoping to get the fish to hold on just a little longer.  So I dumped 50 or more 4 inch worms in one of Rena's Tupperware bowls (I hope she doesn't miss it) and being advised by JJ in advance of how strong the garlic scent was I carefully poured some onto the worms. I was like a little kid waiting until the next day to see what would happen on my new JJ's Magic scented worms....What was the results? I can sum it up in one 3 letter word..........WOW! The results speak for themselves.  I can't and won't tell you that I have realized X % of increased bites using this product....but I can tell you this. I have watched my clients hook ups increase dramatically and watched them put more fish in the boat using the same 4 inch worms soaked in J.J.'s Magic than they did before. Folks, when the bass grabs this worm soaked in this product they just won't hardly let go. That's the key-that is the BIG DIFFERENCE-that the additional edge between J.J.'s Magic and other dye type products that I have used in the past. So for a guide-tournament fisherman or just a casual week end bass fisherman it can make a BIG difference on the number of bass you will put in the boat.

As I started to say in the paragraph above J.J.'s Magic is currently packaged in 4 colors. Blue-Methylate, Chartreuse and Clear. All,  except the clear scent is designed to let you customize your baits  But unlike some of the more well known dyes on the market today this product will penetrate your baits and the scent will remain there cast after cast. No additional dipping is needed. I can see where the Chartreuse will be the most versatile, but each will play an important part of my fishing throughout the year when faced with various water colors and conditions. I have also found by doing a double dipping experiment that you can create various degrees of green-orange and purple.  I like to add red many times when throwing a soft plastic jerk type bait-the Methylate is going to be dynamite for that no doubt! I'm sure you have different color combinations that work well for you....now just think of what would happen if the bass would hold onto your bait and not want to let go. Like I said Wow!  Bass truly love this stuff!

Conclusion
I guess I haven't been this excited about a new product and all the possibilities that it affords in a long time. Being a full time guide and owner of a guide service I'm always looking for ways to help my clients catch more fish when there are with us. I really believe that J.J.'s Magic will play a big part in doing just that this year.  I'm sure by now your saying, Rick where can I get some of this stuff? As with all new companies getting product out into the market is a tough situation at best. So the Fish Chemical team decided to aim their initial campaign via the internet. The best way to get this fantastic product is by going to our links page and simply clicking on the J.J.'s Magic logo or ordering over the internet at www.jjsmagic.com . The process is very quick and easy to follow and you have your choice of shipping options.

As I said in the beginning of this review. If I didn't believe in this product and have seen it work time and time again with my own eyes I wouldn't give it my endorsement. But friends J.J.'s Magic is a winner.  Try it yourself and you will see why I'm excited about this product
