KNB Garlic & Crawfish
Friday, May 26, 2006
Ken Just to let the fine folks a Kick'n Bass know I got an 8.62# Bass and we had a 5 fish 15.19# Limit good for Big bass and 7th place overall in the May Ignition Bass tournament on Lake Cedar Creek. We had a tough time getting bit until we started using KNB scents on our baits. The results speak for the effectiveness of Kick'n Bass products!
Thanks Yall! Charlie Williams / Bazztex www.TexasFishingForum.com

KNB "Anise Shad"
Thursday, May 25, 2006
Well I am hooked on the Anise shad!! I spent several days at Roosevelt Lake trying Soft Jerk Baits with and without KNB. It was as if I was just throwing out a bare hook when I did not use it, I would see the fish follow the bait and then just turn away. At that point I would switch to an Identical bait with the KNB Anise Shad Formula and BAM!!! the fish would just demolish the bait. Great Job Ken, you have a customer for life!!! hey Rob... when you read this page you will see you have a lot of other guys that have had the very same exact experience.... I pay $1,300 to fish a HOT Mexican lake one year... same thing... KNB saved the trip... pulled up to a sandbar where there must have been a million fish pre-spawn.. threw everything in the book at them, until I took some old worms from 10 years ago and put on KNB.. then we started to catch fish... so thanks... we just make something that works.. in this world that is worth a post!

Fishing Tips with Kick'n® Bass
Tuesday, January 03, 2006
I would like to share with everyone some of my favorite ways in which to use Kick'n® Bass. Besides just applying it directly to your lure, try taking your favorite KNB scent and squirt some directly into your bags. By doing this, you allow the power of KNB to go to work for you and it will soak into your soft plastics. It also prevents your baits from "drying out", and in return they will last longer. Use this technique on your worms, grubs, spinnerbait trailers etc. I also like to take my spinnerbait and put them into individual bags and apply the shad scent to them. The skirts will soak up the scent. Try using these few tips and apply them to your fishing techniques and watch your fish catching rate increase. There is no "wrong way" to use Kick'n® Bass, and I am so grateful to be involved with a product that works and is also so versatile.
GOOD LUCK FISHING

Kick 'N Bass Crawfish
Saturday, December 31, 2005
I have been using Kick'n® Bass products for several years now and I am hooked. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the best attractant on the market. The fish really love it. For example, my brother and I went fishing yesterday {12/30/05} for bass and were throwing soft plastic baits. I was using Kick'n® Bass and he wasn't. While I was catching fish he was just getting short strikes. He then started using Kick'n® Bass and started catching fish with me. It was unbelievable how hard they were hitting our baits, it was like the fish were mad at it. We continued to catch bass throughout the day thanks to Kick'n® Bass. We had the opportunity to talk to several other fisherman who were also throwing soft plastics and they were having the same problem that my brother was having earlier. They would say " It's like they are just picking it up but they are not eating it." But thanks to Kick'n® Bass we caught 31 bass when everyone else was struggling. That just goes to show you the fish catching power that Kick'n® Bass offers in their fine line of attractants. When all else fails Kick'n® Bass always comes through for me. No matter what species of fish you're pursuing, they have a product that will work for you. My personal favorite is the crawfish scent. Living in south Louisiana our bass predominantly feed on crawfish and Kick'n® Bass Crawfish matches the hatch perfectly. It is so powerful you can smell it through the bottle. Really. Try it, it's true. It also stays on your bait for a long time. I applied it to my soft plastic bait and started fishing and 30 min. later you could still smell it on the bait. This product outlast it's competitors because it doesn't use water in its production. If you haven't tried Kick'n® Bass before give it a shot. You won't be disappointed. I strongly believe in Kick'n® Bass' products because they work for me and I know they will for you. It will help you catch more fish as it did for me yesterday. Thank you Kick'n® Bass for making a product that lasts and really works. Kick'n® Bass PRO STAFF DEREK AUCOIN BATON ROUGE, LA. 12/30/05 Had a lot of comments from Walleye fishermen who get short strikes all the time... now using KNB they get full hook ups.. that's cool. thanks Derek.

Kick'n® Bass Crawdad
Friday, November 04, 2005
I hope none of my club members read this. I have two Juice Bug dip containers on my Skeeter and have used Kick'n® Bass for the last two years. In a tournament two weeks ago I outfished my partner 12 to 2. Last week in a different tournament my partner was running the boat and asked what the containers were for. I told him and he said that that stuff stinks and doesn't work. When I had him down 9 to 1 he decided to try Kick'n® Bass. We ended up 14 to 4. I am number one in my club through October and I fish 90% Texas rig using Kick'n® Bass. The product really works and the fish hold the bait longer. (Thanks Glen for those 12 to 2 comments, seems to be a theme on this page with the same remarks. Cosmic>)

Kick'n® Bass (Garlic) (Walleye) Scents
Tuesday, June 07, 2005
Hello from Canada, its the 2005 fishing season here and the walleye have been running since ice out back in the first part of April. We have been out on an average four days a week since, catching walleye on the average three to four pounds. But we have also been boating some trophy's in the eight-nine and ten pound range. These breeders get a picture and back into the river they go. We do a lot of vertical jigging with different plastics in depths to 38 feet. I soak all my plastics with the Kick'n® Bass (Garlic), but have found the walleye likes the Kick'n® Bass (Walleye) scent. I have had guests on the boat who scoffed at using any scents and felt tipping their jig & plastic with a minnow was better and more productive, until my technique and rigging and use of Kick'n® Bass (Walleye) or (Garlic) fills everyone's limit. Then they want to try some. Don't be afraid to put a dab of the scent on live bait it really works. I have used Kick'n® Bass since 1998 and have tested it against other popular scents on the market. Do I believe its a confidence thing "of course" I do, do I use it to mask my scent on the bait and line and covering contaminants in the water " sure I do". Have I proven over and over again throughout the years that Kick'n® Bass works my catch ratio out fishing has proven that time and time again. Kick'n® Bass helped me win the title of Angler of the Year in 2004 and Rookie of the Year again in 2004. If you fish for the walleye get some Kick'n® Bass (Walleye) or (Garlic) scent and find out for yourself. Thanks Ken and Kick'n® Bass for making my time on the water more productive!

Kick'n® Bass (Garlic)
Tuesday, June 07, 2005
21 MAY 05 my partner Willis "SNAGMAN" Beam and I was registered for a Northern Pike Tournament, held by the JackFish Lure Company here in Canada. Both Willis and I have been long time users of all the Kick'n® Bass products and we find the Garlic scent and the Anise/Shad works the best for us. We both will switch to the Crawfish scent when the bite changes. Walleye Scent well that's held especially for the walleye and its really good. Back to the tourney, we motor into Crystal Bay a well known hangout for Northern Pike, we started throwing bucktails and spoons coated with Kick'n® Bass (Garlic) it wasn't long before we had five small pike in the boat, but no signs of any big boys. Willis kept throwing the bucktails and I switched over to a buzzbait and I really soaked it good with the Kick'n® Bass (Garlic). Willis was up in the front of the boat watching a storm front moving in and was just saying we better get ready to make the run to the marina, when the water erupted like a volcano and a big pike was tearing my buzzbait to pieces. Ten minutes later in a steady downpour of rain we netted the pike and it was thirty-four inches long and weighed eleven and one half pounds. We revived the tired fish by the boat and once it realized it was free with a big splash it swam off into the weeds. We hurried securing everything down the rain was coming down harder and Willis seen lightening off in the distance. We made it safely back to the marina and trailered the boat just as the lightening and thunder passed over with winds gusting over 60mph. Well the end result was I won the tournament and I strongly believe that it was the buzzbait and the trail of Kick'n® Bass (Garlic) that called that big pike in. Willis & I are well known in this part of Ontario as Independent Field Testers for the Angling Industry and everyone knows our secret weapon is the Kick'n® Bass products. Even if we get lures presented we always soak them in Kick'n® Bass. This is from a woman's perspective and a woman angler who knows Kick'n® Bass works. There goes Sherry-Lynne telling those KNB stories... your check is in the mail my friend. Cos>

Kick'n® Bass -GARLIC&CRAW
Thursday, May 26, 2005
I just recently fished my fist B.A.S.S. tourney in Maryland on the Potomac River it was a tough day of fishing right up to the moment I added your product. The fish were biting so softly you didn't know they were there. That all changed with Kick'n® Bass, the fish not only bit harder they did not want to let go. Thanks to Kick'n® Bass I had a ninth place finish and a great start in the Bassmaster's Series Northeast Division. Hi John... got to start using KNB the night before the big tournaments... soak your tubes or worms in Tupperware bowls and hook them on while they are dripping wet with KNB... Some won't even hit the bottom before you get hit. We always soak our worms. If you mix colors they will bleed into each other so only one color to a container or baggie. Good luck in your next T> cosmic>

Hi Ken, I don't know if you remember me, but I was the guy who called you 5 years ago when I was living in Chicago. I ordered my first bottle of Kick'n® Bass directly from you. Let me tell you, I have been a Kick'n® Bass nut since then. I never go fishing without it. You talked to me for 30 minutes or so on how to use the product. You also ask me to call you back to see how I had done. I am sorry that it has taken so long for me to get back with you(5 years) but I have been to busy catching fish with your product. This stuff really works. Everyone who fish with me leaves my boat saying "I gotta get some of that stuff. Thanks for making a find product!! Hi Larry.... weren't you the guy we sent out for coffee while we were in our duck blind? Seems to me the other duck hunters froze to death waiting for that warm Starbucks cappuccino.... Oh well... better late then never. Glad you are still Kick'n® Bass after all this time. Thanks for the post.
I decided to try your product last weekend even though I am loyal to Jacks Juice Fish Attractants. After using your products for a few hours and not getting any action I had to go back to my trusty Jacks Juice. I caught 4 fish in 30 minutes weighing 12 pounds. I just wanted to give you an honest assessment of your product compared to the best. Thanks for the post Bob. Glad the water warmed up in the afternoon so the fish bite started. :-}

Subject: Hello and Thank You!
11/26/04
Dear Ken,
A few months ago I ordered
a bottle of Kick-n-Bass. You were kind enough to send me 2
bottles—Bass Craw and Bass Garlic. In August 2004, I took the Bass
Garlic to fish at a lake in my hometown, Pleasanton Kansas. This is a
small community, about 70 miles south of Kansas City. I
grew up fishing this small lake, which is also the town water supply. I
know every inch of this lake! This year has proven to be
one of the toughest for catching Bass, as I’m sure you are well
aware. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse… I found the
bottle of Kick-n-Bass in the bottom of my tackle bag. Well, to say the
least…the rest is history! I caught over 75 Bass that day. I was
astonished that the product worked as well as it did on my first use.
This took my confidence to another level and I decided to enter my
first tournament in years. On September 11th, 2004, I fished a
Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Super Tournament (BFL) at Table Rock Lake
in Branson, Missouri. Although I have fished here in the
past, with little success, I had a new level of assurance since I was
armed with my Kick-n-Bass!!
I entered as a co-angler,
fishing only out of the back of the boat. I did not have any say
in where we were fishing—I was just excited to be there. The odds
were stacked against me as the pro-angler had complete control. This
was a two-day super tournament and I needed to place in the top 20% in
order to come back and fish the second day. Thanks to Kick-n-Bass, I
out fished BOTH of the pro-anglers! On the first day, I took 6th place
and on the second day, 4th. I was able to cash my first winnings and I
was ecstatic. Although I would love to chalk this up to my
outstanding abilities, I know that my winning is partly due to your
product. Simply put, it works and it works well.
I would like to personally
thank you and rest assured, I will continue to use Kick-n-Bass in all
my future endeavors. Like I mentioned, this was the< first
tournament I had fished in years, and it’s definitely not going to
be my last!
With many sincere thanks Andy Wiles, Gardner, KS 66030

Ken, Thanks
again for the products and the hat. The last time we talked on the phone I
mentioned that my "honey hole" was still producing. Until last
Tuesday when the water temp. dropped to 44.0 degrees, it had "burped
up" 443
Lbs. of Stripers.
All but eight
were released. They all were caught with the aid of Kick'n Bass. I never
leave the dock without it.
Also, I will take the samples to the boat and tackle show that we talked
about, (I have a booth at same). I will make sure that all
anglers that are breathing will know about Kick'n Bass.
Stay well my friend and remember that
we always will have room on board for you.

Hello Ken, Well the 2003 Bass Season is over. the boat is wrapped and winterized and I wait anxiously for Spring 2004 to arrive. Since 1998 when Paul Duclos introduced me to Kick'n® Bass, I have been faithful to your scents. I have read and been involved in many of the controversies over the scent/attractant issues. But I will say this from my own personal experiences and usage Kick'n® Bass will work if a person uses it. Yes it can smell.. Yes if some precautions are not taken it can be messy. But so can't catching a 20 pound musky. They smell and are very messy if it comes in contact with the boat carpet. Anyway I digress. I ended the season of 2003 field testing some new lures etc and on one specific tube I caught my biggest smallmouth bass to date @ 6.90lbs. The tube was soaked in Kick'n® Bass (Garlic) and the bite that day was pretty tuff for Lake St Clair. But I found that smallie laying in the weeds as I brought the tube along the out side edge. Also my fiancé' Sherry Lynne she took Rookie of the Year honors with a lure company here in Canada and set some new records for their field test team and she too added Kick'n® Bass to her arsenal of fishing equipment. All in All she ended up with eight smallies weighing in over 5lbs and has pictures of a 20 plus pound musky where she coated the big monster lure with Kick'n® Bass (Anise/Shad). During the fall feed I switched over to walleye fishing to fill the freezer for the coming winter months and using Kick'n® Bass (Walleye) I out fished two of my three fishing buddies using artificial baits while the one tipped everything with live minnows. I also went to tipping live bait but added a little KNB (Garlic) and caught the biggest walleye of my life so far. So my confidence in Kick'n® Bass is as strong as the (Garlic) smell itself. So I look forward to 2004 and the hunt for the big fish here in Ontario! Thanks to you and to Kick'n® Bass Willis "SNAGMAN" Beam
I HAVEN'T GOT TO USE ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS UNFORTUNATELY BUT I'M JUST TELLING YOU ABOUT MY LUCK ON THE BAIT I USE TO HELP OTHERS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO USE SOME OF YOUR PRODUCTS THANK YOU AND I HOPE SOME PEOPLE WILL TAKE MY TIP AND USE IT
Hello Ken and all you fishing people!
I found KNB by searching for a "bass scent" on Google's search engine. In short I found this site.
I emailed your company with the typical questions like "what scent do I need if I know for sure shad are all over the lake I frequent?" and " why can't I just buy it straight from you instead of a dealer?" etc. All my questions were answered readily and in fact one day after I SENT this in an email --- "I just won't be sure which scent to use. There are shad in this lake I fish but not sure if I ever saw any licorice in it. Garlic? Not sure. Crayfish? Possible, but still not sure." --- I got this REPLY --- "There is no garlic or licorice in ANY lake... there is no ice cream growing from trees either,,, but we like it.... fish like the flavors we make... why is another question that could be debated for 100 years." --- The next day I actually got a call from Ken himself! He told me to go with GARLIC!
So I went with GARLIC. I placed my order through Bass Pro Shop's online catalog. It was a bit expensive paying $8.95 to ship a 4 oz. bottle of "testimonials" and the snail mail Bass Pro Shop uses is a bit too much for my patience but eventually I got the KNB in my hands.
The package arrived about an hour before I had to go into work but impatient me had to run a quick trial of it at my favorite hole beforehand.
It was a hot, 90% humidity day. Nearly 2 in the afternoon and I'm rushing to this lake with the scent already spilled into my favorite bag of plastics. Keeping a sharp eye on my watch I count down the time I need to leave so I could still ready for work and be on time to bore the girls there with my fishing success. All this time I keep singing, "C'mon Kick N'Bass" ", "Catch us some fishys" while sporadically working my worm with it's dab of new scent.
Oh my goodness, I need to be at work for 3 and it's after 2:30! I didn't get a nibble yet!
By 3 p.m. I'm leaving the lake late for work and I have no stories for the girls. I smell from sweat and GARLIC and need a shave and shower, so by the time I get to work I'm a hour late and bummed I threw my cash away. I was even perceiving the KNB was a deterrent to the prey I was after and instead it really only attracted the attention of panfish (they came near but wouldn't nibble) and all the buzzing, flying buggers that seemed to fly right into my face. They never did that before. I blamed this stinky Italian restaurant scent I bought!
The next day I was determined to not be skunked on both ends so I opened up that KNB and OOZED a whole lot more into my worm bag, being sure I really got this stuff covering my plastics. I headed back down to my lake with a day HOTTER than yesterday and almost as HUMID. It was nearing 11:30 a.m. MIDDAY! IN AUGUST! This time when I took my worm from the bag to rig it I see there's KNB literally "dripping" from this thing and my fingers were having a difficult time pushing a hook through this slippery sucker.
My first through fourth casts were all done within a 5 minute period and I had to remind myself to slow it down, it's hot. I remembered yesterday I was more worried about work and I'm sure my finesse fishing suffered greatly from this not to mention me being stingy in applying the KNB. This time I wanted to cover all the bases and come out winning.
The fifth cast felt a telltale nibble. I paused. Felt a nibble again and with a snap of my wrists I pull a wormless hook and sinker back. Something surely swallowed that worm and it felt good!
Okay, I rig up another wet, drippy worm and try again. I even went slower this time. Working each cast about 5-8 minutes. All of a sudden...tick, tick BAM! I hooked an 8 incher! WhooHoo No more skunking me!
I weighed all the environmental differences and concluded it was a tiny bass that would bite no matter what I threw. This scent was still inconclusive.
Then...
Next cast, same worm, still STINKING of KNB. WHAM! Another bass! This time maybe 10 inches. He lost my worm due to a stomach set. Had to cut the line to let him live and rigged another sloppy KNB soaked plastic.
Only a couple casts later another bass about a hair bigger than the second. I start counting fish now and it's not even noon on this HOT lake. I remember reading testimonial of people letting the bass take the bait with an open bail...I did this to this 3rd bass...it's true! Unfortunately it stomach hooks them so I stopped playing that game. As an aside, remember don't try to save a cheap hook when a fish swallows it...the fish is priceless...cut your line.
A fellow fisherman was cruising by in his kayak, asking how I was making out and I screamed from the SHORE, "I got three so far!" I asked how he was doing...He mumbled he was "doing' ok"
Back to my fishing soon found me at 5 bass. Now you need to know that 5 decent bass at my lake is a several hours long day of "work" I was in one spot near the shore and hooked 5 in less than an hour and a half!
I'm not done. Bass # 6 was the biggest! Easily 15 or more inches and over 2 pounds! Remember it was near 92 degrees and nearly as humid and one o'clock in the afternoon! Not even 10 minutes after this 2 pounder, BAM again! FISH NUMBER 7!!!
Seven fish in under two hours and all done from walking back and forth between 100 feet of shoreline using the same plastic worms I always use here but only this time I added my "secret" ... KICK N BASS!
When I phoned my fish partner my success he said catching 7 bass at our lake at this time of day in this heat is completely unusual...even weird.
I didn't tell him about using the KNB and I won't tell him...at least not yet. I want to see how riled he gets on those days we fish that he gets skunked and I "mysteriously" find the exact "holes" where the big ones are laying. Only after I torture him with my fishing prowess will I share the real truth to my success story...KICK N BASS!
Thanks for the phone call Ken!

Subject: KNB and my first win Dear Cos and KNB staff,
Thad Raines thought you guys would love to here my latest fishing
experience, so here it is. I fished a small tourney at Hartwell in SC on
April 12. Conditions were lots of cool rain and cool temps all week
leading up to the tourney. I usually C-rig and T-rig with watermelon
seed worms with chartreuse spike it died tails. I fished these lizards
off and on all day with only 2 short fish and one small keeper. With 45
minutes left before weigh in my boater stopped at a shoal close to deep
water to fish his spinner bait in the flooded grass. I had squirted some
Kick'n Bass Garlic into a new bag of lizards the night before because I
did not have time to dip the tails. After a number of casts with the
spiked lizards and no takers, I changed to one of the KNB covered
lizards and caught a 3 pound spot on the first cast.
In the last twenty minutes of the
tourney I boated 8 fish, all keepers. I actually lost the biggest (about
5-6 pounds) when my boater knocked the fish off with the net. When I
started catching fish my boater switched over to a Carolina rigged
lizard just like mine, without KNB. My fish were biting so lightly you
could rarely detect the strikes and the fish I caught just sat in place
with the lizard in their mouth, or slowly swam away with it. My boater
only caught one, I offered him some of my lizards but he was too proud.
What a laugh!
note: I weighed in the only spotted bass of the 20 boat
tourney. My 5 fish weighed 11 pounds, and that was enough to take home
my first, First place! The Savannah BFL was on the lake the same day and
I think their weights were just a couple more pounds than mine! Thanks
alot KNB! I am trying to post this on the BFHP
fishing tactics board, and again thanks for the great
experience!!!

I received a free sample of
your Kick n' bass scent attractant from my club,Mason Dixon Bass Anglers
the other week. I finally had an opportunity to try it out this morning. I
just have to say that it really improved my catch ratio in cold water. I
was river fishing for smallies on The Susquehanna River, using tubes and
your product. The
fish really grab hold of this.
Usually, in cold water. I am lucky to even feel a strike. But today, the
fish where hitting and taking off. Thanks for inventing such a premier
product. I will be in touch for some more after the holidays.
Thanks and tight lines, Pete
I fished Lake O.H. Ivey in Texas last Saturday, with bass guide Geoff Walker. He being a pro rep for Kick'n' Bass suggested that I use the garlic formula on my bait. Before the day was done my partner and I caught seventeen bass between seven and ten pounds, which we released back into the lake. I feel that the kick'n' bass played a major role in our tremendous success that day.

Kicknbass Craw /Garlic/walleye
Monday, June 17, 2002
I have loved the kicknbass products since the first time I used them. I often use the "walleye" flavor on my BASS plastics because of results I get! Thank You Kick-N-Bass for increasing my catch rate substantially!
Thanks to all the board members that decided to put Butch and me on the Pro Staff. It sure won't be a hard job because we have been telling people and giving bottles away for quit a while now. It is a product that we believe in and buy by the case and felt it was only right that people we know and were really wanting to catch fish and didnt know about it needed to try it. I have never heard a negative word about its affects, but dont get it on you boat, although now I hear that have a product that cleans it off your boat. I can promise you that we will be trying the new cleaner soon.
Butch and I were given a bottle of KNB garlic scent from a friend, N.C. Clanahan to try, so one day when fishing was slow I decided to put some on my 10 motor oil worm. In just a short period of time I caught a good fish. I reapplied not knowing that I might not have needed to, but the next bite was a 10.70 lber. Butch noticed that I was doing something different so he ask me what and I told him. He decided to try it and then he caught a big fish. Well that is all it took to make us a believer in KNB and now we put it on everything. Butch now prefers the Shad flavor but I just cant help but love the Garlic. They both are to good and like I have told so many people, if you are using live bait squirt some on because it just seems to call the fish to dinner. Thanks N.C. for sharing you KNB.

I just used the product under tough conditions. I was at the Ausable River in Upstate New York with 30 to 42 degree air temp with 32 degree water temp snowing and sleet. I sprayed the potion on my worms and boy I was surprised. When my pals where were not getting any strikes fishing next to me I caught my limit. The next day I out fished them Three to one.

My wife and I fish a local weekly tournament on a small lake [15HP
max]. We got our first two bottles of Kick'n Bass yesterday. One
crawfish & one garlic. We never got to use the garlic,
because the fish loved the crawfish. We won the
tournament & also big fish. I find your product to be much
superior to the cheap water based scents on the market. We also fish
the Guys & Dolls Couples Tournaments & are looking forward to
using your scent in our next tournament on Lake Murray [S.C.] If you
have any patches, etc. we'd like to put them on our shirts.

Recently, I was out with one of the pros that you sponsor (Gary
Watts). I have only used attractant (another company's) a
couple of times with no success. During this outing with Gary, I was
throwing a jig with no attractant on it. Needless to say, I was having
no luck. Then Gary pulls out a bottle Kick'n Bass Garlic, and put some
on my jig. It was just a matter of a couple of
flips of the jig and I had a nice two and a half pound
largemouth in the boat. During the rest of the morning, we
proceeded to catch around ten fish. Most of them with the help of your
product. After that day, I am sold on your product. I would like to
thank you and Mr. Gary Watts for turning me on to a product that lives
up to its name. When ever I put my boat in the water, You can
rest assured that a bottle or three of Kick'n Bass will be in it with
me.
Thanks again, Dennis Hamer

Hello Ken, how are you bud.
I fished BFL this weekend and came in 6th place my over all standings puts me in 28th place. The next tournament I think that I will do really well. It is on Lake Livingston may the 6th. I drew Ted Pate as my pro and out fished him that day by 4 pounds. I was throwing a Senko than I had marinated in Garlic Kick'n Bass. It was so effective that at the end of the day Ted Pate was asking me for one of my Senko's. I gave him some but I told him the Key was to marinate the Senko's in garlic Kick'n Bass. So I gave him a bottle of the Kick'n Bass that you gave me and that is what he is fishing the Bass Tournament on Toledo Bend with right now.
Thanks for every thing Ken

Ken,
I thought I'd send you a picture of a Kick'n Walleye caught Walleye.
The three pics attached are all of the same fish, a 7.7 lber that ate
a spoon covered in Kick'n Walleye. I lost the other fish that ate the
bait that day, it was about the same size.
Both of these fish hit within 5-15 minutes of
applying a fresh coating of scent. It's really interesting to notice
the difference in the way these fish hit with scent applied. It
was almost like they were sucking, or tasting the bait rather than
smacking it out of aggression or reflex.
Thanks for the great scent, Kick'n products are the
best!!!

11 July 01, I decided to take the kids fishing today, to a local pond for about 3 hours, in the middle of the day (1230 to 3pm). The day started out slow and of course the kids started getting restless. So after an hour of nothing, I went to my tackle bag and pulled out some Kick'n® Bass Garlic scent. The fish just jumped all over the Zoom White Pearl flukes they were using after I doused their baits!!! My son (9 years old) caught his first fish within 15 minutes of me adding the scent, he ended up catching 3 fish for a total of about 7pds. My baby girl(5 years old) caught a 2pdr and lost another. I know that the Kick'n® Bass made the difference, it made a ho hum day into a day they will never forget!! Thanks Kick'n® Bass for making such a dynamite scent!!!!

Subject: Another success story (with a check)
This tournament was very
different from other bass tournaments, a BANK FISHING tourney
at a golf coarse lake. 55 anglers in it and I could see around 30 of them
for this 2 hour tournament. On the start almost everyone got a hookup on a
bass and a couple of 5 pounders were caught, my first was only 3 lbs.
After that 2 minute frenzy it got real slow for everyone except me. Since
the bass had a case of the shyness, Texas rigged worms was now the lure of
choice for most everybody and all I heard from then on was complaints about
bream knocks. Only I was not having bream knocks, I was still setting hook
on bass for the rest of the time we could fish. The bass were pecking at
the worms and this was being mistaken as a bream knock. The
KNB garlic scent I was using was being inhaled so I caught fish the entire time
and was able to make a third place finish. I was told by the gents
weighing fish that I had caught the most weighable fish but could not overcome
the 2 minute frenzy at the start. Can't feel to bad about it though since
the gent who won only got me by 1 LB 2 oz's. Even though I was a
believer in KNB to start with, in this tourney with all the other anglers next
to me tossing the same kind of lure not using KNB and not hooking up with bass
has reaffirmed it's bass catching qualities to me.

I am a tournament bass angler for almost 10 years now. In Michigan, one of the first tourneys of the year is the lake Neppessing bass clubs Hollaway resv tourney. This year was the 22nd annual. This lake has been called the DEAD SEA, this tourney has a very good payout-$4,000.00 first place and $500.00 big bass. The problem is that very few catch bass on this lake. It has a 7 fish limit .If you even catch 3 fish you are sure to be in the money. I have fished this tourney for 9 years now and have only caught 5 fish in that span. This tourney always has a great turnout because of the payout not the fish. This year there were 3 pros in it, but that didn't matter they did not have KNB. Well my partner and I had our limit of 7 within a half hour. We ended up catching 3 limits. Now I don't know if it was luck, right place right time, or what. All I know is that we were using KNB for the first time on this lake and we won the $4,000.00 and big bass$500.00,call it what you want-but I know for a fact KNB won us this tourney just ask the guys that were fishing 50 ft from us and could not catch a fish. It was KNB just don't tell anyone he he he.

Cosmo, I have followed the KNB posts for sometime on the Bass fishing home page, but until last Sunday had never used it. Last Sunday, I used the Crawfish KNB fishing for smallies on a VA river, and noticed a HUGE increase in bites and hook ups. My girlfriend, who is a new comer to bass fishing, led the pack and I can't help but to think KNB played a role in letting the fish hang on longer until she set the hook. The smallies are active in this stretch of the river, but they were tearing into our baits like no tomorrow! (The catch/bite action was most noticeable especially after a fresh soaking.) I've used several other scents (not worth mentioning), but had virtually little to no success. I think that was part of the reason it took me so long to try your product. Stupid me. I just wanted to reinforce the fact that, in my humble opinion, you have an excellent product. I can't wait to try the others. I'll be fishing more highly pressured, challenging waters soon, and I'm very optimistic. I don't usually write such testimonials, but I've seen some of the posts that criticize your product and in my second humble opinion, it is their loss. Thanks again, John Spence , Arlington, VA

kick-n-bass two different flavors
30 Jun 2001
11:28 PM
I have tried kick-n-bass in two different flavors on two different lakes and have zero bass to show for it. I have caught bass on both of these lakes before and I thought it might help, like increase numbers or size. Nada, nope, nothing. I will keep trying, went to a third lake today and caught 25-30 bass without using kick-n-bass. Had a good thing going and did not want to turn them off so I did not try any scent today. Next time I will try kick-n-bass again and see what happens.

You spelled out the word confidence. That means a whole lot to a whole lot of people. If something makes you work a little harder and it makes you believe in what you're doing, chances are what you're doing will work out for you. That sounds a little simple, but, confidence is the mindset that you and no one else is guiding your fate. I still chunk old Bagley's crankbaits because I don't believe any other lure holds the magic that they do. I like Garland's designed tube jigs, the Gitzit. It was the first and still is the best. I use MC Coy fishing line because it is smooth, strong, easy casting, and long lasting. Am I not willing to move up to the next century? I try new things with an open mind, I think scents on lures, if nothing else, wipe out the stink of the human being. I like Kick N Bass because it works on the lures that I have faith in. So Kick N Bass is part of the confidence for me. I can't help but catch fish if all of the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Half the battle is finding fish, the tough part is getting them to bite. If I get an extra second, maybe the flavor helps the bass hold on. I know that Kick N Bass is a CONFIDENCE booster, not snake oil. I have been spanked by a pro staffer, I have NOT set the hook, I have tried to pull lures away from active fish while using Kick N Bass, and every time it worked. When the bite is tough, I know that confidence is the key to keeping your head in the game. With the positive results I've gotten, I know that the tough bite will be a little easier........Thanks Kick N Bass....... Bass Wishes, Roger Castle Austin, Texas

Ken, I started using Kick n Bass last year and I am catching more larger bass. I usually fish my 25 acre subdivision lake which is overcrowded with small bass. This morning I caught 10 bass on Trick worms with KnB Garlic. The best was 4.8# and the next 4 weighed a total of 5.7#. Most of these only bite once and then swim off with the worm. It seems they will not turn loose of a worm with KnB. I have removed the barb on my hooks to make it easier to release them. In the past year, I have caught bass of 6.0#, 5.2# and 4.5# from this same small lake using KnB Garlic on Trick worms. Thanks for a great scent. Ed Fritch

Just wanted to drop you a line that I had ordered your product in March from
Bass Pro. They made a mistake and sent Garlic instead of Craw, but I
figured since I fish a lot of grubs early here in the spring I would keep it
and try it. All I can say is the results have been awesome. I
have taking a second third and fourth place finish as well as a lunker in
tournaments using your product. Now I'm hook and going to order some

Cos, The three bottles you sent me a month ago have been in the boat due to
weather and work. Last week I went on a business trip to East Tennessee and
had the occasion to put the tackle bag and a couple of rods in the Jeep.
Went out on Tellico with an old friend of mine for an afternoon of
"resting". Threw a few plastic worms and didn't have any success.
No problem, the company was good and the refreshments cold. That was until
he made the statement about these fancy rods and tackle bag! Long story
short, the Anise Shad was the choice. Cos, don't EVER
back away from your claims. I went from no ticks, to mid May Gulps.
Lots of fun for about an hour , just to prove a point. If your products help

My wife, Donna and I placed third in the couples' division in the Texas State Bass Tournament on Lake Amistad. We weighed in a limit of five bass each day of the two-day tournament for a total of 26.92 pounds.
A special thanks to Jim Pool and his Waypoint Marina for their hard work in putting this tournament together. It was by far the best organized Bass Tournament I have ever fished in. Also thanks to the tournament sponsors Waypoint Marina, Nitro Boats, Stern, Strike King, Ray Murski, and the Chamber of Del Rio, Texas.
I would also like to thank my sponsors, Bass Pro Shops, Fin & Feather Sports Sales, Nitro Boats, Kick'n' Bass® Attractant, Rod Bob, Bumper Stumper Lures and Stren Fishing Line for their support.
Lake Amistad is one of the best lakes to fish in Texas and the people around Del Rio were some of the friendliest.

Just got in from the lake. The water temperature was 46 degrees, under partly sunny skies. The bass were in a NEGATIVE feeding mood, and they are still in transition still between Winter & Spring. Much of the morning was simply casting practice, but when I applied KNB Anise Shad to my jerk baits after I had put some on my jig-n-frog. A few more flips with the jig, and I put it down. I then picked up the jerk bait with Anise Shad and produced 3 nice bass. Two smallmouth and a largemouth. But more importantly I picked up on what the fish were doing. They were suspended over about 8-9 ft of water. I had lost a smaller fish in the morning early without KNB applied to the jerk bait. But these finicky bass ate the jerk bait up. The largemouth had it in it's throat. (literally inhaled it) IF YOU DON'T THINK KICK-N-BASS WILL STAY ON HARD BAITS THINK AGAIN!! The jerk bait still had residue on it for 2 hours, and you could noticeably smell it as well. I really think KNB Anise Shad was the difference. I didn't boat a ton of fish, but I did get out of "Casting Practice Mode". BY THE WAY - I had talked with several boats, none had even had a bite in 8-9 hours.

I just returned to the marina to weigh in my fish. The girls were just
having a tournament, having fun!!!!! I was putting my catch in the bag, I
heard someone asking a question. I turned to see a curious man staring at
my cap. He wanted to know if that stuff really worked. Before I
could say anything my partner spoke up. She started to tell the man how
many fish I had landed. She continued to say that she started watching me
closer, she caught me putting my secret weapon on my baits. Anyway that's what
my partner called the kicknbass formula. She told the man
and others who had gathered around to hear more; that she didn't catch a bass
until she added the kicknbass to her baits. She told them that she saw the power
that KICKNBASS has over the bass, it was unbelievable. Therefore; I
started handing out samples of KICKNBASS. Needless to say that was
all the man needed to hear! The next evening at the marina the man showed
me his stringer of fish.... He believes in the KICKNBASS.. Try it IT

My father & I were practicing for an upcoming tournament. I had pre-soaked several plastic worms, centipedes & tubes in the garlic scent. We were fishing a rather narrow canal, so we hung to one bank with my father flipping & pitching directly in front of the boat, and I casting across the canal from the back. I lost what felt like a decent size fish in some submerged dead trees. It took my worm however. We continued on about 100 yards to the end & decided it was productive enough to fish back. We hung to the opposite side & fished the same pattern on the way back. 100 yards and about 45 minutes later, at the same dead tree, my father landed a 17 inch Bass. Guess what it spit out? My worm soaked in the garlic scent. It had held it for all of that time, and then went for my dads. We could not believe it. We fish in a Bass club against some pretty tough guys. My husband uses your garlic & crawdad scent also. We are always in the top 5 weight class. Thank you.

This is the FIRST scent that I really feel helps me catch more fish than
using no scent at all. The fish are EATING these baits. Two weeks ago,
Jim Bruce broke off a nice fish (I had given both him and Tom one of the
little sample tubes of craw to put on their baits). We came back to that
spot a couple of ours later and I caught the same fish on another tube
loaded with the craw scent. It had 20' of Jim's line hanging out of its
mouth and Jim's tube out of sight down its throat. Pulled the line
enough to show that it was Jim's tube, and actually got it out without too
much trouble. When a fish in 50 degree water will eat
two of the same baits a couple hours apart with one of them stuck in his
throat and 20' of line hanging out of his mouth there's something about it
he likes! I think it's the texture of the bait and taste of the
scent. Have a fun trip to Nashville. Hope you have a picture of a nine
pounder waiting for you when you get back. God bless, Steve

I finished second using Kick'n® Bass Garlic Scent on a Zoom worm. Come to find out the boat that finished 1st was also using Kick'n® Bass. The other boats that did weigh in had no fish. This goes to show no matter the weather, this is some great stuff. With a little bit of toughness and the right product you can catch fish in any conditions. After the weigh in, the other guys in the other boats were asking about the Kick'n® Bass from me and the other boat that finished 1st.I think we convinced them that it does make a difference.

During a club tournament on the Choptank River last fall, I got a lesson on the importance of using scents/ attractants. I had fished all of my usual spots during the day, but only had one keeper sized bass to show for my efforts. An hour before weigh-in I decided to head back to the ramp because there is a seawall there that tends to hold fish at times. When I got to the ramp area, there were several boats already working the wall with jigs and soft plastics. One of these boats belonged to a member of my club and he invited me to fall in behind him and fish the wall. In the 45 minutes that I fished along this 150 yard wall along with 5 or 6 other boats, I saw 7 fish caught. I caught 4 of these and the other member of my club caught the other three. We didn't see anyone else even set the hook1 I'm sure you can guess what the big difference was!!!! Kick'n® Bass was the difference! I didn't see any of the other fishermen using any attractant at all. They seemed to be using similar baits, and I caught my fish on two different baits in several different colors. The same goes for the other fellow in my club. I was already convinced that scents/attractants worked, but this really seemed to drive the point home!

WHAT A PRODUCT !!
KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine is just the ticket to keep any boat looking like new. Just spray it on, and wipe it off. The true test though is always "road-grime". You know, when you trailer your boat through rain going to a tournament and you get that film from oil, tires, and dirt off the road even with a cover on you still get that film. Then, you try to clean it off. Road grime just smears and looks awful until the 2nd or 3rd wash!! KNB-Bass Boat Clean & Shine is the answer, it takes it off the first time, plus it gives your boat/tow vehicle that showroom luster. IT'S FAST, IT'S EASY, AND INEXPENSIVE. Consider how much a carwash costs anymore, now add your time and inconvenience. If you're going to clean stuff up, do it right the first time. KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine saves you time. Try it, you'll like it. HERE'S A TIP FOR USING IT TAKE 5 -10 MINUTES and go wipe down your spouses vehicle with KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine when they're not home. Then, put a bucket with a wet sponge, damp towel, and a shammy next to it when you're done. Go in and watch Jimmy Houston Outdoors, OR simply go fishing. (It'll look like you worked on it all day) It'll look great, and you'll look great. This is a win - win deal!!

Once at our spot we found dying shad all over the top of the water. Jimmie started with a crankbait and soon missed our first bite. I started with a jig soaked in Kick'n® Bass Crawfish. After a few casts I caught a 5.10 pound Bass. We soon set out to try our other spots and could not beg a bite. After fishing to within about an hour of weigh-in, we went back to our original spot. When we arrived a friend of mine was sitting in the spot. As he left the spot he said he had fished it for a couple of hours without a bite. I resoaked my jig and soon had another good fish on, but lost it in the timber. We fished right up to the time to run to weigh-in. Once there we found that only 7 fish were caught out of 104 teams. We finished in Third place and Third place big Bass. My friend asked us how we managed to catch a fish when they could not get bit. I told him about Kick'n® Bass and I believe he will now be a user! I would like to thank Kick'n® Bass, Fun and Sun Marine, Bumper Stumper Lures and Mister Twister for helping us with this tournament finish. Jeff Saunders

During a tournament in the 2000 season the bass were heavily pressured, and in a negative feeding mood. However, thanks to Kick-N-Bass Anise Shad. I was lucky enough to cull almost three ( 3 ) limits of bass the 1st day, and had Big Bass on Day 2. My overall finish in the event was 2nd. I missed winning the event by a mere .50 of a pound. Kick-N-Bass is by far the best product on the market today.

Subject: Kick n' Bass Steve, Just wanted to touch bases with you on Kick n'
Bass. I was a smelly jelly man for years until I was introduced to KNB at a
bass-o-rama in Pleasanton CA. I have had very good success with the product,
not only on bass but I am having good luck using it on steelhead.
I know for a fact that the company uses only the best ingredients, but the
bottom line for me is the results when nothing seems to be working. You
don't know me, but you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Be sure to try the different types. I love the crawfish, but there's times
when they want the garlic. Let me know if I can do anything else for you.
Good luck in 2001. Gary Herron Pro Staff Kick n' Bass

I have used Jacks Juice for years so when I got some Kick'n® Bass as a Xmas present I just threw it in the boat and forgot it. Last week I had a tournament on Lake Lanier; water temp. in high 40s; really tough bite. The spots were just nipping it and hitting short. Finally I decided to try the Kick'n® Bass and to make a long story short won the tournament. They really grabbed on to my finesse worm and hung on for dear life! At least long enough for me to get a quick hook set. After experimenting with different ways to wash the smell off my hands I came up with using Cheer with bleach soap powder. Kick'n® Bass really does work for me. Finesse Man (Don Schweitzer)

I have been a loyal supporter of Kick'n® Bass Fish Attractants for over 4 years now and have been on the Pro Staff for 3 years. During this time I have continued to be amazed at how this product out performs all other attractants on the market. When the fish are finicky or short striking, using this product will help the fish hold on to the bait long enough to guarantee a good hook set!
I have to tell this one story. When I was pre-fishing for the B.A.S.S. on Pickwick/Wilson last year I had to stop using Kick'n® Bass on my jig. Off course you don't want to set the hook on fish the day before a big tournament, but I had several smallies while fishing Wilson that would not let go of the jig. I was fishing a point in about 25' of water and felt a bite. Instead of setting the hook I started slowly reeling, just enough to put a little pressure on the fish. To make a long story short I pulled that fish all the way up to within "net" range before I could get her to let go. I was totally amazed!
So now when I'm pre-fishing several days prior to a tournament, I simply don't use Kick'n® Bass. It could be banned as an unfair advantage!
Thanks to all the gang at Kick'n® Bass and welcome aboard Jimmy! What a great addition to this Pro Staff.

I was fishing a team tournament last year during the springtime. I was busy flipping a jig into cover as we sped past it, my partner was fast reeling a spinnerbait when I heard him exclaim whoa that was a good fish that just missed my spinnerbait. We fished around that fish for a while, throwing everything in the boat at her when I recalled some advice a guy had given me sometime ago about bedding bass. He had told me to use garlic scent on a bedding bass and they would go wild. I thought to myself, well I've been using crawfish KNB all morning and are one short of my limit so what the heck. I placed a couple of drops of garlic KNB on my jig and ka-wham she took it, first cast. She weighed a little bit over 5 lbs, enough for 2nd place that day. Thanks KNB for making the best scent out there.

I am in my second year as a Kick'n® Bass Pro-Staff member. While I'm proud to wear the Kick'n® Bass shirt and hat at the tournaments I compete in, it's the product itself that provides the most satisfaction. When the "scent craze" hit about ten years ago, I was a user of Fish Formula, Lockjaw, and BANG. I noticed an increase in my creels of bass when I used a scent, but had no idea that the bar could be raised much higher. I had heard of, but never used, Kick'n® Bass until I won a bottle of garlic formula as part of a tournament giveaway. While running low on BANG, I decided to give the Kick'n® Bass a try. The first difference I noticed in Kick'n® Bass was not when I applied it to my bait, but when I opened the bottle and got a whiff of the strongest garlic odor I had ever smelled. As I applied the scent to my jig/craw combination I saw how it saturated the bait instead of just coating it and dripping off. This pleased me, but not as much as the results that I saw immediately! I not only caught more numbers of fish, but better quality fish than I was used to catching in the same old half-productive areas. My partner and I have since performed our own "control"...one using Kick'n® Bass and one using no attractant or another brand. The Kick'n® Bass ALWAYS wins! I've since been able to fine tune my technique for maximizing my success with Kick'n® Bass which I will share with you. When I am flipping' or pitching a jig or worm to cover, I will always use the crawfish formula. You'll notice that when you switch baits and then return to a lure previously soaked with Kick'n® Bass, it'll still be discharging the attractant into the water. When I am fishing open water with a jig or Carolina-rig, I prefer to use the garlic scented formula. When I switch to a spinnerbait, buzzbait, crankbait, or other fast moving bait, I like to use the anise/shad formula which seems to mimic the shad more. In the past 2 years I have accumulated a lot of money in tournament winnings riding solely on the strength of Kick'n® Bass. I have qualified for the Angler's Choice Regional Championship the past two years and the Mercury National Championship this past year. The only negative thing about promoting Kick'n® Bass is that my competition will have the same edge as I feel Kick'n® Bass has given me. Those who know me well will be the first to tell you I'm a straight shooter when it comes to the truth, but don't take my word for it...purchase your own Kick'n® Bass and note your own results.

and put a check in my pocket. I fished a small cut off the Altamaha

worms (Zoom and same color) within sight of each other. The only
difference was his scent verses mine. He was
using the garlic Bang scent while I was using your garlic scent.
I had fish and he didn't. He did not give up since he could
see me hooking fish....had to be the Kick'n-Bass making the difference.

Hello, My name is Craig Sahms and I'd like to commend you on a fine product. I purchased some through Cabela's recently mostly based on the information and comments I've read on the Bass Fishing Home Page. I've always had my doubts about scents in the past, tried a few, but couldn't see much difference with or without, but decided to give yours a shot. I've been fishing the BASS Eastern Invitational for the last several seasons and had a tournament coming up on Lake Martin in Alabama which is a deep, clear water impoundment loaded with spotted bass. The weather had been colder than normal several weeks prior to the tournament, so I expected fishing to be slow. This would be a good test for your scents. On the 1st day of official practice, the air temp was mid 20's, with water temp around 50. Carolina rigging a finesse worm, I quickly boated 2 fish well over 2 lbs each, quality fish for spots. That day the next two practice days, I managed to catch stringers estimated near 10 lbs each day, as well as shaking off several other fish each day. I have a couple people that I work with and compare notes with during practice, and I was catching more and better fish than they were. The only difference was I was using your product (Garlic) I was very optimistic going into the tournament. After the 1st day, I was in 7th place, with only 4 fish. The second day was a little slower for me, only catching 2 small fish, I dropped to 51st, but fishing behind me, with borrowed worms and scent, my partner caught 3 fish for over 8 pounds, monsters for this tournament. Big fish the 1st day was only 3 lbs, 6 oz) On the 3rd day, I caught them good, weighing in a limit and the biggest stringer of the tournament(11-12), moving me all the way up to 6th place and my best BASS finish yet. I only weighed in 11 fish in the tournament, but managed 6th place, only 2 lbs, 6 oz from winning. Fishing was slow, but I believe that KicknBass made the difference in the number of bites, the quality of the fish, and the time that the fish held the bait, allowing for better hook ups. Spotted bass are notorious for tail-biting and light bites at times. Thanks again for a great product. I'll never be on the water without it again, especially when fishing soft plastics. Feel free to use this letter on your website, and if there's anything else I can do to help promote your products, please don't hesitate to ask. Craig Sahms

KicknBass is simply the best fishing attractant out on the market. I was
introduced to KicknBass by a very good fishing buddy, Bud Fields. He is a
Pro Staff member. Fishing with Bud during a practice day for a tournament he
was literally kicknbass and mine too. He finally tossed be the bottle he was
using and started to use the garlic kicknbass. I finally started to catch up
with him. I have been hooked with it ever since that fishing day in July. It
has helped me tremendously. I was near the bottom of the standings fishing
the Indiana Bass Federation, with three tournaments left I ended up in 62nd
place out of 350 anglers and just missed the Federation Classic. The
Classic takes the top 40. In our club I finished 11th and missed the top 10
that go to the Classic, but I did win the consolation tournament to allow me
to go to the classic. The club takes the top two finishers of the
consolation. At the classic on the Detroit River I had big fish a smallmouth
that weighed 4 lbs. 11 0zs.I can hardly wait till the 2001 season to start .
I wonder what can happen using KicknBass the whole season. Simply The
Best!

I was fishing the other day. And nothing was biting. Me and my buddy got to the lake at about 7 in the morning and several hours had gone by and nothing was happening. When I saw a bottle rolling around in the bottom of my boat ? And guess what it was that's right a almost empty bottle of the stuff. So I decided to use a little on my Buzzbait that had been catching nothing with 2 casts and bang a 3 pounder ! well after 3 more fish that size my buddy in the back was wondering what in the heck I was using ? so I told him what kind of lure it was and he had one too, But it wasn't working ( HA HA) Then he caught me putting some on my lure, now the cat was out of the bag. So I had to start sharing what little bit I had left. And sure enough he started catching fish too. This stuff is AWESOME!!! Thanks for making it and a special thanks to my other buddy Clyde for leaving it in my boat! GOOD FISHING TO ALL AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS ! Your fellow Christian angler Tim PS.

I really appreciated this excellent product, that help my partner and I gain the 'Bass Anglers of the Year' in the Brazos Region of the Texas 100 team tournament trail. This trail started out with 147 teams this year and with the help of KNB and some consistency, our team may not have taken 1st Place in any one tournament, even though we where in the money, but having the advantage of this product, helped us be consistent for the year and come out on top. In two weeks we go to the State Championship on Lake Sam Rayburn, and with the pre-fishing that we did and using KNB, we feel that we will have an excellent opportunity to do good at this tournament. Ken, again a great product, in which I usually don't fall below 4 bottles in my boat at any one time, or it's time to restock. This product also help me become the Bass Angler of the Year in my bass club for the second year in a row. thanks again..... Bob Aldert Richland Hills, Texas

My friend Dan Willcockson, his son Brett , and I left
Spokane around 4:30 heading for Clarkston, WA. about 110 miles away to go Steelhead
fishing. We were in the water and trolling around 7:30 p.m. along
with about 40 other boats. The fishing was worse
than slow, nobody was getting anything. So I figured it was
time for my secret weapon. I applied our new scent Anise/Shad to my
crankbait. I was rewarded at 9:30 p.m. with a very nice 10 pound
hatchery fish. My two partners had caught nothing. I attribute
my success to the new scent. the next morning we had moved upriver to
the current section of the Snake River. I was using the same scent and got
my partners to try the Crawfish scent. Well I caught a small mouth bass and
a 5 pound Northern Pike Minnow (squawfish) The young man Brett missed two
Steelhead that pulled his maribou and shrimp 3 feet under the water.
We were asked what we were using as a scent and we happily told them and
recommended if their local dealer didn't have to ask for it by name. What a
great product. Thanks!! Gary Herron Pro Staff

Hi Ken- -it was good talking to you. Here is
the True story of my experience with the new anise shad flavor of KNB.
This happened a week ago Sunday on Joe Pool (air temp 112 degrees, water in
high 80's) I started on a point on the mountain creek arm. Got no
takers on my yellow magic topwater, but I saw bait flicking every now and
then. I soaked a zoom fluke in the new anise shad Kick'n Bass and dead
sticked the bait. I saw my line start to move and I started to tighten
up. The fish kept moving, and I kept reeling. The fish
must have moved 40ft when I tried to set the hook- -it was then that
I realized my drag was loose and that the fish was pulling drag all the
time! She just didn't want to let go!
It was a good fish and I didn't get a good set in her and lost her then.
I went on, though, to catch 6 more bass using the same technique but with a
tight drag. All held on and ran with the bait.
As a follow-up, I was out this weekend to clean out my boat. I use a plastic
baggie to apply kicknbass, and I discovered The new anise shad doesn't dry
out like the garlic did. (Another plus is my wife doesn't hate the
smell!)- -all in all- -I'm really going to like this new flavor of KNB- and
I'll let all my readers know about it in the next issue of Outdoor Times.
Regards. Wayne McLean

came in at the end of the day and had had a real good day - caught several fish
and she felt like she had a good start for the first day of the tournament.
Over dinner my friend said to me, " Make him tell you how he caught his
fish today." Her husband got real red-faced and laughed. He had
finally used KNB (some that I had given them to use) and on the first cast he
caught a nice keeper! He proceeded to catch fish

This stuff is simply put the finest
scent attractant on the market ! If your not using Kick'n Bass products
on your lures and live bait you either don't like catching any fish or you don't
have your head screwed on right ! This stuff is BAD TO THE
BONE. I really wished one of the Pros at the classic this year ( at Lake
Michigan ) one of the toughest in history, used Kick'n Bass exclusively only to
show the whole fishing world how good this product really is when the bite is
off and tough. I've been Blessed to have been a Pro-Staff member for over 2
years now ( I have been using Kick'n Bass for almost 3 years now ) and my
fishing success has increased unbelievably, especially when the bite is real
tough in the heat of the summer and in the winter when no one is catching any
fish to speak of. Thanks to this truly outstanding product, I
have had another fantastic Tournament season on both the Red Man and Anglers
Choice circuits ! 2-Top 10 finishes out of 4 Red Man Tournaments plus 1-Big
Bass,and Kick'n Bass has also helped me to 1-2nd place and 1-6th place finish in
Anglers Choice Tournaments this year. I have Qualified for the Anglers Choice
Championship this fall and have stayed in the Top 20 of Red Man all year thanks
to Kick'n Bass ! I just found out that Scientific Bass is coming out with
a Shad scent this Fall and I'm really looking forward to getting ahold of
that new Attractant knowing how much the bass chase shad in the Fall
! Thanks for making the finest product on the market and giving me
the opportunity to promote the finest fish attractant ever made. God

Subject: u were right!
On a recent fishing trip to Black river (which has been pounded) I was anticipating the outcome of the adventure. I went with two other anglers who are avid fishermen on this stretch of water. I didn't let them know I had your product in my fanny pack. Well' each went his own way trying to find "honey holes" for the better part of the day starting out as soon as the sun rose. As soon as the plastic bait found the rocky bottom, it was smooth sailing! That was in deeper water, about 4.5' to 6.0' of water! Due to the lack of rain and last winter's snow the current wasn't very fast nor was the water very deep. I was landing smallies anywhere from 4 inch babies to 2# fighters! The biggest weighing about 3 1/2#'s! I decided to fish extremely shallow water, trying to cast just upstream in front of big rocks. I'd get the bait to fall right behind the rock and WHAM!, the fight was on! I caught so many fish, including a few nice bluegill, that I lost count after about 60! By the time my partners and I got back to camp, I was beat! Of course I only kept my limit but the ones I had on my stringer surprised my buddies! After B,,,S, ing I finally spilled the beans. Sure, they also caught alot of fish but the size difference was undeniable! Kicknbass worked so well even the bears had to check it out! Cosmic, I'm so glad I purchased your product! Once my bottle runs low I'll surely be running to the nearest dealer for more of your kicknass Kicknbass fish attractant. We ate tasty fillets the next day. Keep up the fantastic work!

Subject: Angler of the year
The last Tournament of the year for the Metroplex Division of the Two Of
Us, was held on Lake Granbury, July 16th, 2000. With the
temperatures soaring into the 100+ the early morning bite was crucial. Guy and
I went up the river, toward Tin Top Bridge. I threw a Broken Back Jitterbug,
with a little Garlic Kick 'N Bass, and within an hour, I had a 2.69 lbs. Bass
in the boat. The lake level had dropped between 8" to 12" the day
before, and since we had located fish in 18" of water, our fish had
moved. We caught 15 to 20 fish that day, which is typical of Granbury, and
just as Typical, only that one was over the 16" slot. Fortunately for us
there was only a total of 6 fish weighed in, and the first place team, was
able to weigh in 3 of them. So our 2.69 Bass, won second place for this
tournament, and Angler of the year. I have used Kick 'N Bass, for over a
year now, and when the fishing gets tough, which it has been this year, with
the lakes being low, and then rising fast, just to drop again, I believe Kick
'N Bass made a difference for me. In May at the Cedar Creek Tournament, We
won Carolina Rigging, French Frys, and of course mine were doused in Garlic
Kick 'N Bass, giving me that extra second to set the hook in deeper water.
Until that day I had always assumed "Rip Their Lips Off" was just an
expression. The deep fish hit the bait so hard that I actually Rip some
lips that day. At The Lake Tawakoni Tournament, in June, Texas rigged worms,
won us the day. And again I believe the Garlic Kick 'N Bass gave me an edge.
The Bass hit the worm and hung on. To be Angler of
the Year, means consistency threw out the year, no One tournament can win it
for you. Kick 'N Bass, has been part of my tackle, and helps me catch more
fish. Sincerely, Randi Parkinson

Subject: Why I like KNB testimonial
"Why I like KNB"
After hearing all the roar about KNB from Cosmic on the BFHP, I decided to try
the stuff. I cracked open the bottle of KNB Garlic and took a whiff.
Now I have a pretty strong stomach but man that stuff was stout. Still
being somewhat of a disbeliever of attractants, I had to try the stuff
before I could believe all the hype. I soaked the plastics I planned to use the
next day in KNB that night. (Got in trouble for doing it in the house :o) )
The first thing I noticed the next day is how the stuff
stays on so good. All the other scents and scented baits I ever
used produced an "Oil Spill" in the water when I drop the bait in.
Not KNB. You can even smell the stuff still on it
after 100 + casts later. I once heard a pro say, "If it helps me
catch 1 more fish, I'll use it". This makes sense. Many times
1 fish is the difference in a lot of money or a lot of fun. KNB will
give you the chance to catch MANY more fish. Studies have shown that many fish
bite so light that you never feel them. You may fish all day feeling only 3 or 4
bites when you actually had 10 or 15. With KNB those bites become much
more detectable. Now KNB might not bring fish from 20 yds away, no attractant
will, but KNB offers you an excellent advantage by turning fish on to your lure.
Instead of nibbling, they will be ATTACKING!

I was reading on BFHP about your product. I looked up where it was sold and on my next trip to the tackle shop I bought a bottle of shad KNB. I was still wondering if I got taken for the price when I got to the lake. When I opened the bottle and took a whiff I knew that the bass would either eat it up or die from the smell. I started out with a zoom trick worm with Bang on it and fished one of my favorite areas. I got about 3 or 4 light hits and caught 1 bass. I went back over the same area, Like fishing used water, with the same style and color of worm but this time with KNB on it. I got the same amount of strikes but the bass held on for what seamed forever. I caught 4 bass on the second pass. I have tried this out now on several trips and at different lakes with the same results. Now I have 2 cans of Bang for sale cheap.

OK I have a new one for you here. I have had a tournament on my home lake (Folsom) for the past 3 weekends. The first tournament had 70 boats and at 11:00 am I only had one fish. I grabbed my bottle of Kick-N-Bass (Crawfish) and put it on a Zoom 4 inch pumpkin lizard (same bait I had been throwing all day and immediately save face with a 4 pounder and a 3 pounder. We filled in our limit of 5 fish for 13 pounds and received a plaque and check for 10th place. The following weekend in another team tournament I told my partner to throw topwater and I started with the KNB drenched Lizard and I put a limit and culled 1 fish before my partner finally caught a fish. We ended up with a 6 fish limit weighing 16 pounds 2 ounces which was good enough for 4th place. On the final weekend was a Pro-Am (B.A.S.S. Federation). I again had my non boater throw reaction baits while I chose to fish the same Lizard with you guessed it Crawdad KNB. I won the tournament with a 6 bass limit weighing 16.5 pounds. My non boater caught fish on topwater but none of them were any help the fish caught on the 4 inch lizard with KNB were much bigger. My non boater joined me in fishing the lizard and is now a big fan of KNB. Thank You for such a great product I am proud to be a Pro Staff member. Rodger Stegall ps I am out of the crawfish

Cosmic, Just a note to tell you about a little experiment that my fishing buddy and i did during yesterdays tournament. we were both pitching jigs and i was the only one using KNB. My catch for the day was a 7.5 channel which was a blast to land and another two cats not as big. I also caught 3 bass all keepers. My partner caught two bass also keepers but not nary a cat. Maybe you ought to market your crawfish as a cat bait too. I'll keep using KNB forever thanks for a great product. Chuck Billhimer , aka-XChamp

Dear Sirs, I recently
purchased your product at the Powder Keg in Norton, VA while I was on a
Smallmouth trip. I usually use Berkley, but I was out and picked up some
KNB crawfish scent. Well lets just say that I will
not be purchasing any more Berkley scent in the future. I was amazed at
the response the fish had towards your product. We boated over 50
Smallies on the first day and another 25 or so on the next. The boat that
was floating the river just in front of us used the exact
same grub tail and jig head and didn't even boat half as many as we did.
I couldn't let out my secret until the trip down the river was complete.
My boss is interested in carrying your product line at the shop. Please
give us some info on how to do so. Thanks again, Troy Hamilton, Tallmadge, Ohio,

"THE STORY OF THE
"HAWG" AND THE SCENT"
"My partner and I were fishing a one day team tourney on this wonderful
South Texas reservoir on the Texas/Mexico border that we call Falcon Lake. We
felt confident after our practice day that we could put a limit together rather
quickly in our area that we were fishing and then go searching for our kicker!
The next day tourney day arrives, the first weekend of March with strong winds,
but we are keeping with our game plan to run our water like we discussed.
Upon arriving at our first spot we put together quickly a limit, knowing the
weekend before a seven plus came from this area was not enough to convince us to
stay any longer even though we were still putting limit fish in the boat.
So we left the area like we planned to go looking for our kicker, we fished
several areas before coming back to our honey hole we had fished the previous
day and caught decent fish on practice and left the area. We had a thirty
minute drive to the weigh-in site by vehicle and before we had to put the boat
on the trailer, I got the bite! She was a beautiful fish and fought hard
to the finish. We were fishing on the Mexico side and I believe you could
hear me scream all the way back to Texas. I got down on my knees and
thanked "God" and then the "Fish Gods" and most definitely
"KICK'N BASS". I have been using this
product religiously for over two years now. I was first contacted
by a rep in West Texas to try the product and to get on their pro-staff...I get
sent products to try regularly but will not take them on unless I believe in
them - well to say the least it did not take me long to contact Ken Revell about
this wonderful product...I do not wet a bait unless it it
smothered in "Kick'n Bass". I have so much faith in this scent
that it enables me to fish my baits with the confidence knowing the fish are
going to bite....Fish absolutely attack and swallow the bait at most times
versus baits that do not have the Kick'n Bass scent on...At the time of
this writing I am heading to the B.A.S.S. Central Division tournament held on
the Red River and you can be assured I will be packing plenty of Kick'n Bass
scent....Debra Hengst - Pro-Staff

Well all I can say is this Kick-N- Bass is some super fish attractant!!!!! Not
long after I started using it I won a B.A.S.S. Federation
Tournament on Coleto Creek Reservoir and also had big bass of the tournament.
It was one of those days that if you caught a limit you were extremely lucky,
but by 8:00 AM I had a five fish limit and decided to go to the north end of the
lake to try for a kicker fish. At about 10:00 AM I pulled out my super fluke and
gave it a good spraying of Kick-N-Bass and hauled in a 5.75 LB kicker fish which
gave me a respectable 13.34 LBS for a tough day that is all it took. But here is
the best part I went back to the main lake to see if I could catch some more
fish where I had started that mourning. There was a couple of guys fishing there
when I got there I asked them how they were doing, they said that they had 2
keepers between them. I hauled in a couple of keepers working behind them
and they asked what I was using I said a weightless superfluke and Kick-N-Bass
fish attractant. I asked them if they had the color flukes I was using and they
said yes and changed immediately to the fluke. I said do you want some of this
Kick-N-Bass and they said no we have some other scent
product I said OK and Hauled in 2 limits behind them and the only thing
different was the Kick-N-Bass. At the weigh in they asked where they could get
some. Thanks Ken and the Mad scientist behind this fine product I will be
a lifetime user of this product and everybody that fishes with us is a believer
also. I also added an 8th place finish in a Best-A-Bassin Tournament and got a
nice check, plus numerous jackpot tournaments won with this miracle attractant..

I was first introduced to Kick'n Bass at the 2000 Lake Eufala Women's Bass
Fishing Association tournament. The water was muddied up and the fishing was
slow until I put on some KNB. I quickly nailed a good size fish.
My bites dramatically increased thereafter. On my home lake, Percy Priest
in Nashville, most tournaments rarely produce a five bass limit.
When I brought a bottle of KNB back with me, My partner and I had brought in a
limit within an hour. Kick'n Bass is like a magnet, the fish
seem to hold on a little longer. KNB seems to stay on your bait a lot
longer than any other attractant I've ever used, which means a few more
casts during the day not having to re apply so much. I also like the
squeeze bottle, because the spray doesn't get all over your boat. I am
proud to be sponsored by KNB and
promote it everywhere I go. Thanks Julie Lehman, amateur, WBFA

Hello...Recently my friends and I had the opportunity to fish three days on Lake
Fork in Texas with Guide Larry Barnes. Before fishing with Larry, none of us had
ever heard of "Kick'n Bass", but Larry introduced it to us... We
fished during a very tough week - the fish just weren't
biting. The people staying next to us had 4 boats between them and in
their first 2 days of fishing caught three fish TOTAL
between all four boats... We, on the other hand, had much better luck.
During a tough bite, we managed to boat fish every day. We
were getting over 15 bites a day. I believe the difference between what
were doing and what the others were doing was "Kick'n Bass". I tell
you, almost everyone one of my bites came in the first few casts after I applied
a fresh scent. Besides the bites after the recent applications of fresh scent,
most everyone was throwing Watermelon colored rubber lures, us included - yet
were getting much more then most... I am very glad that Larry introduced us to
your product, and I know myself and my friends that used it will all become
loyal customers for years to come.
Thank You very much, Keith Budurka, Wilkes-Barre, PA

Ed Blackburn & myself fished the Texas 100's team tournament on March 19 at
Possum Kingdom Lake. It was our 2nd tournament of the trail. Going into to this
tournament I had not fished the lake in 12 yrs. & Ed had not been on it in
20 yrs. We had a front that blew in a couple of days before, that Saturday night
the wind was still blowing 20 miles an hour. By morning it had picked up to 20
to 25 mph still out of the North plus we had a blue bird day. Condition's
was not very good, about the 3rd cast with a crank bait I put a 3lb bass in the
boat and as soon as Ed netted it it came off of my bait. I
realized at that moment that I had not put any Kick'n Bass on. So I put
the bait I was using over the side and poured some crawfish on it. The next fish
I caught it didn't fall out of the net, I had to get my pliers out to get it out
of it's throat. Every fish I caught was the same way, they seemed to try to
swallow it. Ed caught the biggest fish which was 4.55 lbs. Out
of 130 teams that day we came in 5th place with 14.10 lbs to win $750.00.
I owe it to my partner Ed who ran the trolling motor fighting 20 to 30 mile an
hour wind & Kick'n Bass Crawfish. Ken Revell, National Sales Mgr.

My spouse and I live in the small town of Glen Rose, Texas, about an hour south of the Dallas, Fort Worth Metroplex. Not far from Glen Rose is an executive retreat and resort called Rough Creek Lodge. Some of the attractions there are bird hunting, a five-star restaurant, outdoor activities, and fishing. Mallard Lake sits just below the Lodge, you can sit out on the deck and watch the sunset over the water. We went out mid-afternoon last Thursday, February 24. It was our first try with your product. Results? I'll say!! We caught at least 24 bass, some up to 7 pounds. Our main bait was a chartreuse spinner bait. They loved it, especially with the kicknbass! We also tried a jig&pig with the kicknbass, they loved it too. The fish hit so hard!! They are in pre-spawn right now, so they are moving into the creek channels, and they are biting!

Ken, you asked me for a testimonial. Here is a picture of a 7lb. 1oz. bass
that I caught the first time I ever used KNB. A friend had given me a
small amount of Kick'n Bass crawfish that he had left in a bottle and asked me
to try it. I was fishing a tournament on John H. Kerr (Buggs' Island)
reservoir and was having a pretty bad day. I
had caught about 20 bass that were under the 14 inch limit that day. It
was about 1 hour until my weigh-in, and I decided to make a change. I went
to a spot of mine that was lined with rip rap and a wooden wall. The
first cast I made using KNB I caught a 2 1/2 pounder. The very next
cast I made I caught this 7lb. 1oz. fish. I caught 4 bass on this spot in
20 minutes using KNB and placed 17th. in a field of 400 anglers. I
guess I don't have to tell you that I found out that this was a product that I
wanted to be affiliated with. Ronnie Currin

John,
I tried your formula this past weekend on Newton Lake and though fishing was
slow, I had a memoriable moment. As I placed my jig sprayed with your formula on
it in a brush pile in 45 degree water, 16 feet deep, I
hooked one of the biggest bass I ever had on. My biggest largemouth bass
ever is a 7 lb. 13 oz. and I swear it was much larger than that. As it
ended, the huge fish muscled its way off my lure and my dream ended as
quick as it started. Bottom line, I don't think it would have hit or hung on
without this formula on my jig. I can't wait to see how it works in warmer water
and when the fish become aggressive. I've tried several
scents in my past fishing history and I think you have a winner here! I'm
excited about trying this product at the All American in May! I promised
you I would tell you what I thought of your product and believe me, if I didn't
like it I would be honest enough to tell you that also. I liked it! Any
questions or comments, call or write me. Thanks, Michael E.

ALL RIGHT FOLKS HERE'S THE DEAL. GOT MY FIRST BOTTLE OF KICK'N BASS THIS FALL, AND PUT IT IN MY TACKLE BOX, THEN WENT FISHIN HERE ON PRIEST LAKE HERE IN MIDDLE TN. A FEW WEEKS LATER, FISHIN WAS REALLY BAD, ONLY A FEW SMALL DINKS. I THEN REMEMBERED THE KNB AND USED IT, DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT CHANGED THE DAY. THE FISH CAME ALIVE, I GOT SEVERAL HITS AS SOON AS THE WORM HIT THE WATER, THE FISH GOT BIGGER AND A LOT MORE OF THEM. MY PARTNER RICK (FISHIN THE FRONT OF THE BOAT) COULD NOT BELIEVE IT, TILL HE TRIED IT. HE GOT MORE AND BIGGER FISH AS SOON AS HE SPAYED IT ON. WE EVEN SAW A BASS TRYING TO STEAL THE WORM OUT OF A HOOKED BASS THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO BOAT. YOU MIGHT THINK ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME OF THIS STUFF TO "KICKIN BASSASS" BECAUSE THAT WHAT IT DOES...........THANKS FOR THE GREAT STUFF!!.......................JIMMY

I would like to take a moment to tell you how I heard about Kick n Bass and some of the fishing stories behind it I have fished all my life...the last 10 with Bass'n Gals..WBFA...Redman and some local clubs ..I also surf the net a lot. I am an avid reader of Bass Fishing Home Page...and I kept seeing these post about KNB...day after day...time and time again...I had read so much about it that I decided to go to the web page and ask about it..I e-mailed a letter out to them and in minutes I had a replay!!...Have to say it was one of the best E-mails I have ever sent... Not long after the e-mail I received a call from Ken Revell...and he shipped me out 2 bottles...WELL...I took it to the Red River in La ...to practice for the Classic...I had my KNB in the boat.. BUT...to tell the truth I had almost forgot about it...I fished all morning and had 2 short fish...tried everything I knew to catch the fish, I was going thru the tackle box and saw the KNB...I told my husband Ralph...Hey here is the KNB think I am going to try it... I open a pack of worms...put about 4 drops in the bag...rubbed the bag between my hands to spread it over the bait...took one out and put it on....the 3rd cast ,I landed a 4 lb.bass...WOW!!!!...I made the next 4 cast and on the 4th cast I landed a 2 lb.bass I said to Ralph...you think this KNB was what done it...and he said...WEll I am not using it and I haven't had a bite...he then put on one of the worms and by the end of the day we had put 6 nice keepers in the boat..

I've got to be about the worst jig fisherman to ever wet a hook. Just never could feel the bite until at our club top 10 tourney last weekend I squirted a little of the "Magic Crawdad Juice" on my jig. Didn't have to feel the bite. Just put it by a cypress tree, jiggle it a little and when the line starts swimming away set the hook. I weighed in a five fish limit of 20.55lbs for second place. Culled 3 fish over 2lbs each. I'll have a bottle in my boat from now on.
Thanks again Wallace Erwin

I'd just like to thank you guys for your fine product. I doused my lizards in Crawfish the night before day 3 of the M1 tournament. That day I came in 3rd and went to the final Top 10. I used the same lizards but more Kick'n® Bass on them threw final day. I took fourth and took home $12,500. Being the youngest one there at 16 years of age, I needed every advantage I could get. I used plastics 2 out of the 4 days, but those 2 days Kick'n® Bass was always being used. I would love to talk about this more, but I have to go.

On a recent trip to Lake Huites in Mexico, my brother-in-law, Frank and I fished for the first two days using spinnerbaits, worms, and crank baits. We caught fish, on the average of twenty to thirty per day in the 1.5 lb. to 4.0lb. range. The third day after using kicknbass we both landed our biggest fish of the trip, a 5.8 pounder and without exaggeration caught approximately 130, yes one hundred thirty bass on that last day between 1.5lb. and 5.9 lb.. This was accomplished in my estimation for two reasons: First, the added attractant of KicknBass to every few casts without a doubt, Second becoming more familiar with the lake and having trained the guide on our boat to both the areas and type of fishing we were interested in. Until this trip I have not used kicknbass, however, I will be using it on all future outings. The fish definitely hold on to the bait longer which was evidenced by me in fishing plastic worms at which I consider myself a novice. The line would just move in the opposite direction and I would realize that a fish was on. I am an average fisherman and have already mentioned kicknbass to all my fishing buddies. There is no doubt in my that I would have caught fish without the attractant, however, I would not have caught as many. Thank You KicknBass> Art Hyslop
Just want to let you know about a new rod called Piranha Rods. Very sensitive and light. Comes with a one year warranty. Nice looks. As good as any rod I've ever used. I've used alot of fish attractants but the best I've used to date is Kick N Bass. I apply it on my baits about twice a day, instead of every other cast. I use it on soft plastics and on hard baits, and it stays on the lure a long time. Alan Dunn

This last Sunday my partner and I fished a tournament in the worst conditions possible. We had temps in the 30's and 40's and rain for the last three days with snow predicted on tournament day. The lake temp had dropped from 60 to 44 in just one week. My partner and I were fishing the same lure. I had just become a sales rep for Kick'n® Bass and had to prove to myself that it works. By noon we had just two fish in the boat. I started using the garlic scent and to my surprise I started catching fish. In fact I was catching 3 to 4 fish to my partners one. He hardly had time to fish as I was yelling get the net. We had our limit in just 10 minutes and we even culled that limit for larger fish twice. We were catching smallmouth. When it was all said and done we had a 5 fish limit for 15 lbs. and 3 oz. Thanks to Kick'n® Bass we cashed a first place check. There was only one other team that had a limit and they had only 8 lbs. I am now a firm believer in Kick'n® Bass and I can say that it works great.
I got my first bottle of Kick'n® Bass Garlic as door prize in a tournament. I believed that scent didn't hurt but didn't help. It sat in my truck for about 6 months till I got sick of the smell. Well, I figured the best way to get rid of it is let my customers use it. As a professional guide I am not used to getting whooped by my clients I was happy for them but man they were catching fish behind me, so I started fishing harder to no avail. My clients were catching 3 to my 1 at least. I decided one day to put some of that garlic stuff on my lures. And WHAM a keeper bass the first cast. My client that day said you don't get to use this no more. My message to all guides is get some of this stuff. It will help your clients catch more fish. And that's the name of the game.

Went back home to So. Ca. in June for 2 weeks. I had just ordered the Crawfish scent and took it with me. My Dad and I went out on a 3/4 day boat out of Dana Point to do some Calico and sand bass fishing. Wow did this stuff work on saltwater bass! There were guys on the boat that had all kinds of fancy hand poured baits, all I was armed with were 3 colors of 5" grubs, some 1/2 oz lead heads and Kick'n® Bass crawfish. I outfished the all, and this my first time saltwater bassin with plastics. I even outfished the live bait dunkers! But it didn't stop there. My folks live on a super clear private lake, and the stuff helped me get lots of bites in the summer heat. They really hang on to this. To sum it all up, Its good stuff. Add a little glitter to it sometime, that's a secret for ya.
I went fishing at Lundy Lake last summer (1998). Went with about a dozen LA Sheriffs. Cool guys! They started ragging on the Kick'n' Trout the first night I brought it out. I had the last laugh. In the same boat with me was my buddy Gil, using a Berkley trout attractant. Didn't work. Cast for cast, I caught a dozen trout to his one. Tried it on my fly rod too. It worked!. Please send me another bottle. I think Gil borrowed my Kick'n Trout and forgot to put it back.
Even I have to sit back some time and just get blown away by this great line of scents. He is a copy of my lake report from last weekend. Cory you gave me the inspiration to post this. Thanks. C>
My wife had to spend a week up at the lake of the woods working, so every day I had to go fish from sunrise to sunset. As I have said before, It is a rough life but someone has to do it.
Well the bass were on the beds, all snuggled up in two's and three's. Caught one and then thought to myself I may as well leave them alone and harass the trout. The trout were biting. The lake is filled with weeds and you either have to use a bobber or a split shot rig with something that floats like Power Bait®.
Got out the first day and wanted to do some experimenting. Took a bobber, treble hook, A COTTON BALL AND SOME KICK'N TROUT. You should have seen the faces of the guys with all the fancy stuff when I said I was a chemist and was using cotton balls or bread. I could have sold all the Kick'n Trout we have in stock on that one lake.
Needless to say it worked great with the Power bait too and worms. Just open the top of the bottle and dip whatever in the bottle and then cast out. One guy did a test with me and the KNB treated bait outfished the untreated by 4 to 0. Needless to say I had a great week and made lots of friends. C>
I recently started fishing for trout seriously only in the past two years. In 1998, I went to the Fred Hall fishing show in my area and came upon the booth that was presenting "KicknBass". The guy was so persistent telling me how great this stuff was, that I finally bought a bottle of "Kick'n® Bass" with garlic. I bought the scent with the garlic because I know that sometimes a garlic scent alone will attract more trout to the bait. I was anxious to try this stuff as soon as I could. I tried this stuff out at Irvine Lake, which is private lake in Orange County, California , and to be very honest with you, I didn't see any significant results. In fact, I was down right disappointed because of what I thought was just hype the guy at the fishing show was giving me. I stopped using it for the rest of the trout season. Then the very next year when trout season started up again, I was reading a fishing web page where this angler was just raving about using "Kick'n® Bass". My first instincts were that this guy must be joking, because the previous year I had tried it, I didn't get any more bites with this stuff. Later, I kept on reading more favorable reports about him catching lots of trout using this "Kick'n® Bass" scent and I began to wonder if I really gave this stuff a fair chance, mainly because of the integrity of this man who was submitting these very successful trout reports. This man's name is Jeff Sun, who is the web master for the www.fishinghotpage.com . I have the utmost respect for this mans testimony and I believe he would never falsify any reports. I therefore decided to give "Kick'n® Bass" another try. I don't know why last year it didn't do anything, but this year I am constantly catching limits within a few hours and not waiting all day to limit. I have been fishing on the average 3 times a week and using "Kick'n® Bass" has been absolutely devastating on the trout. Just about every time I go fishing at Irvine Lake, there are people on both sides of me not catching and I am just killing the trout left and right. They can't help but notice how much action I am getting. For those of them who are curious enough to ask, I proudly tell them that I using "Kick'n® Bass" on my night crawlers. They are in awe and amazement how well I do. I know for a fact that everyone that has seen me catch trout and ask me what I'm using, went out and bought some "Kick'n® Bass" scent with garlic. This stuff is beyond incredible. The only problem with this stuff is trying to have enough of it on hand. It sells out so fast, that I have to buy several bottles at a time so I don't run out. This testimony is true and I have people who can back me up on this because they all use "Kick'n® Bass" too. Trout fishing has never been better thanks to "Kick'n® Bass"!
World class freshwater Largemouth Bass country here. Just got back from the Stick Marsh, 6000acres of Bass heaven. Tried Kick'n® Bass Craw for the first time, loved it. Had a very productive day, more so than usual with my worms and Kicknbass, not to say that I may not have had this type of day anyway, one never knows. I did observe the attractant stayed on the lure much longer than the other scents I use, lasting for a much longer time. When fishing for LMB you got to try to think like a Bass. I was thinking that this scent is more like what a woman would want, and it is the females we are looking for. P.S. CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO ONE PEDDLING YOUR PRODUCTS IN BASS HEAVEN! Thank, DOC
As reported in The Arizona Republic on Sunday, April 25, 1999, (Page 8EV) I use Kick'n' Bass garlic scent. Although this was to remain a secret, While talking to Dwayne Smith Outdoor editor I slipped and of course he has a job to do so he wrote about this product that I used. Now that the cat is out of the bag.
I use and have used this product for a long time now. I happened acrossed it at one of our retail stores. Perhaps Wal-Mart and thought I'd try it. Now I use it all the time. "If the bait I am using has an amino acid impregnated into it, I'll still dip my plastics in to Kick'n' Bass." Thank You for such a fine product. 2 Time Arizona State Champion Bill Warman http://www.vsps.com
On April 18th I was fishing at Lake Pleasant just northwest of Phoenix, Arizona. I was using a Luck E Strike Enforcer Lizard in Pumpkin green pepper and had dipped the tail in chartreuse dye, to give the fish something different to look at. I soaked the lizard with Kickn Bass Crawdad scent (which I know triggered the fish into biting and holding onto the bait). The fish was a 13.6# largemouth weighed on certified scales 9 hours later. I would have returned her, but she had swallowed the lure completely and the fight was too much for her. She had completed spawning.
I have used Kickn Bass and Luck E Strike plastic lure products for awhile and swear by them. The have produced many good fish for me. I think that if I was not using them, I would not have caught such a beauty as this fish!!! The combination of Luck E Strike and Kickn Bass are hard to compete with.
Thanks you Kick'n® Bass you have a user for life!!!,

I FISH ALOT OF THE LOCAL TOURNAMENTS INCLUDING 100% BASS AND LOCAL CLUBS. THERE HAS BEEN DAYS THAT THE FISH WOULDN'T BITE UNLESS YOU WERE USING KICKNBASS. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS 20 FT. FROM ME USING THE SAME BAIT AND FISHING THE SAME PLACES BUT I WAS CATCHING FISHING AND HE WAS JUST CASTING. THE DIFFERENCE WAS KICKNBASS. THIS STUFF IS THE BEST SCENT YOU CAN BUY...
I was turned onto your product about three months ago by Eddie Roberts, a local pro. I have seen a tremendous increase in the number and quality of fish I catch. I fish a lot of local tournaments as well as being a member of a local club, and using Kick'n® Bass has improved my standings.
I recently carried my wife fishing at a local state park to do some white-perch fishing. I tied on a small bettle- spin to rip across the grass beds, which I have had good results in doing before. I decided to use Kick'n® Bass on the bettle spin and on the third cast caught a 4.5 lb bass. I caught several more bass and some very large white-white. I believe that your product was the reason for the number and quality of those fish. It's a fantastic product that will always be in my tackle-box.
Caught a 6.5lb (measured on Berkley scale) largemouth at Saguaro Lake on Thursday. I saw the fish cruising the shoreline while throwing a chartreuse spinnerbait. After a few unsuccessful casts I made a return trip, gave the blade a double dose of KNB and "tap". It's amazing how lightly a big bass can take the bait. I caught a large cat (7+) last week (using KNB garlic on spinnerbait) that tried to take the rod out of my hand when it hit. bait.
At a major Bass Fishing Tournament last December in Alabama, I noticed many of the pro anglers sporting a Kick n' Bass logo on their shirts and boats. Since I have never won or placed in a Bass Fishing Tournament before (I've only been Bass Fishing for one year now), I decided to purchase some Kick n' Bass to see if it would help me catch more fish against the local pros here in Florida on Lake Okeechobee. Not only did Kick n' Bass help me catch more quality fish, I believe Kick n' Bass is the reason I am now celebrating my very first 2nd Place victory against anglers that usually bring in those huge limits to the weigh-in scales. I couldn't believe it (and neither did they hahaha) when all I did was spray your fish attractant on my topwater lures and WHAM-O, I caught Bass after Bass during a time these local pros termed a "tough bite". Well it wasn't a tough fishing' day for me because I had my secret weapon, Kick n' Bass Fish Attractant ! So..Thanks for the assist !
Jimmy and I grew up together in NJ in the 1960's, now he is in Fld and I'm in AZ. Thanks Jim. Cosmic>
This is the first time I've used Kick n Bass. We head to the lake around 11 in the morning. It was me and my friend and my little cousin who loves bassin. They were using minnows and I was using Kick n Bass . Fished for a few hours and I caught nothing . They both caught two dinks. Your product really has the strongest scent I've ever smelled. I will continue to use it.
Just thought I would add my experiences with your Kick'n® Bass Garlic. I carry both Craw and Garlic on board but I must admit that 99% of the time I use the Garlic. Nothing goes over the side that is not scented and what comes back to the boat is more bass. As my reports indicate for my area my catches are usually quite good and a great deal of my success is due to your product. Keep up the good work! George Imagination Bassin Port St Lucie, Florida
I fished the first week of March 1999 up at Clearlake California, fishing with my uncle. We were catching so many catfish in the 2-4lb range using Kick N' Bass fish attractant. That is nothing new to me because I have caught other monster fish using Kick N'Bass including a 12lb 8 oz rainbow trout at Contra Loma Lake in Antioch, CA. Anyway, the catfish were chewing on thumbs and we couldn't hold the fish. I told my uncle about these red lib grippers that I had received as a sample from my friend and best bud-Greg Van Steenkiste. We put them on our left thumbs and it made the entire difference in our fishing experience. We no longer had the catfish chewing on our thumbs and fingers; no longer did we have to struggle to get the fish in the bucket. We caught 75 catfish in two days. I love Scientific Bass Products! Thank you for giving me better fishing experiences in the great outdoors! Roy S.Hendricks Antioch, Ca.
Ken, What a product! I have never had a scent that would hold on to the bait like this one. My wife told me to put the poles outside because of the smell. What I like about Kick'n' bass is not only does it help catch fish, you don't run through bottles very fast which saves money for the angler. Good job Johnny Johnson (Host of Settin' the Hook T.V. show in Arizona..)
I have been fishing Lake Fork for the last 10 yrs..,on 3-9-99 I fished on Fork and had little success..,after lunch I remembered I had purchased the garlic scent and went of to fish some deep road bed..,well on the very first cast I had a hit like I never had before..,I didn't land the fish thinking it had broke my line..,as I was reeling in the line the bass jumped out of the water..,apparently thinking it was still hooked. It must of been tasting the garlic scent in it's mouth and thought it was still hooked. The best I can judge the bass was over 10 lbs..,and looking at my lure I could see why it got off, it had straighten out both treble hooks. Kick n Bass Garlic scent really made me a believer, I went on to catch 15 bass all on the same lure and scent.
Kick'n® Bass Garlic scent works on Crappie pretty well. On 2/28/99 we fished below Horseshoe Dam and we caught a bunch of really nice Crappie. As the scent seemed to wear off, the bite seemed to slow down. So each time that happened, we sprayed our jigs with Garlic and the bite picked right up. Usually got bit on the very next cast. We averaged 2 lb crappie and some up to 2.75 lbs.
We'll try it again next time.
Fished Roosevelt on 2-14-99 and used Kick'n® Bass for the first time. I've fished this lake often this winter and caught lots of fish. But mostly all unders. Large minnow size if you know what I mean. Well anyway, I would say at least 70% of the fish I caught were larger including 4 overs and 6 or 7 slot fish. Only had 3 unders. Not sure if it's the law of average or this stuff really works? I intend to try it again.
Got back from Lake El Salto, Mazatlan Mexico two weeks ago. Myself and 5 other friends fished for 4.5 days. We didn't catch the quantity of largemouth we usually expect, but the size of the fish were generally larger. Anyway, sprayed garlic scent kicknbass on all my spinnerbaits before we left. Yes they were in a Ziploc bag. Our guide the first day on the water reached into the bag and removed one of my spinnerbaits. He really didn't get a whiff of the garlic on the spinnerbait until he touched his face. I had to tie my own spinnerbaits the rest of the trip. The scent stayed on and on and on. Never resprayed my lures the rest of the trip. The largemouth inhaled the garlic scent lures. I will definitely be using the kicknbass garlic scent on my lures when fishing here in California. By the way, I thought they were going to make me leave my tackle box at the Mazatlan airport. The smell from the kicknbass lasted a little to long. My buddies almost made me travel in the luggage compartment. Sincerely, Doug Holcomb, a first time user, soon to be an abuser of your great product
Just about any bait that you buy has a factory smell take a bait out of the bag or take your hard bait out of the cardboard package. Smell it and you will see that it has a factory smell. If you can smell it you know that a fish with the scenes that they have can smell it. but when you use Kick'n® Bass you won't have the smell . Your catch will increase . Kick'n® Bass will cover up the tar on your hands if you smoke and it will cover all smells that you the fisherman have on your hands.
I was fishing with a Tantrum spinner bait doctored with scent the water was 44 degrees and the only fish I caught was a 3lb 11oz. bass . I have to say Kick'n® Bass is the only sent I will use. Tony Gunderson
My name is Mark Hammonds and I am Professional Guide and Tournament Angler. I can tell you from experience that having an "edge" when fishing, is very important. My "edge" was found in Kick'n® Bass fish attractants. A couple of years ago I began Guiding on a full time basis. I spent a lot of time in Outdoors Unlimited in Arlington, Texas, sharing fishing' stories. Bill told me one day that there was this new product that he was carrying that seemed to be pretty effective. At that time I was skeptical as to the quality of fish attractants, for I had used virtually every one made and could not see any positive results. But being open minded I took a sample of the product and what transpired made a believer out of me. On my next trip to Richland Chambers I applied the product to my soft plastic Carolina Rig and the results were amazing. I caught twice as many fish in all my areas. The fish seemed to be inhaling the baits and allowing me to more time to recognize bites and not miss fish. This is especially good for those clients that do not recognize every strike that occurs. It makes all of their strikes aggressive ones. Since that sample bottle, I absolutely do not go fishing, guide trip or tournament, without Kick'n® Bass somewhere in the boat. My suggestion to you is, if you like an edge over the rest of the field, utilize Kick'n® Bass and let it do the work.
I have used a lot of scents over the years, but Kick n Bass really works and helps me put fish in the boat. Fishing is tough enough, but the attractant it makes the difference between catching and not catching. Last summer when it was 100+ degrees my five year old grand-daughter Lauren wanted to go fishing. So we went to Lake Arlington and fished off the bank with live worms. We were there for a couple of hours. It was really too hot to be there and I suggested that we go home, but she just wanted to keep fishing. A few couples with their kids came by and we asked how they had been doing and they all said nothing was biting. I had taken a bottle of Garlic Kick 'n Bass along with us, so I suggested to Lauren that we spray some of the worms, "OK papa" ,she said. As soon as it hit the water, she caught a perch about the size of your hand. She said," put some more Kick 'n Bass on!! The next cast she had, she caught another one. From then on to everybody that came by, she would tell them she was catching fish using Kick 'n Bass. My point is, it works! Fish are getting smarter these days. If you haven't tried it, you should. Kick 'n Bass is no gimmick, it works.

Mr. Revell,
Just wanted to update you on my use of KNB Scents, Lot a
folks here in Ontario doubt the use of scents, but I am a believer &
user. I went to a fish camp this past week and stayed true to using the new
Anis/Shad scent you and Chuck mailed to me.. Oooh how I wanted to switch
over to (Garlic) but I stayed with the Anise/Shad... and though at first
things were slow tweaking and changing a few things man it started
working... in two hours I had caught 25 smallmouth bass and a 46 inch musky
on 10lb test and a BPS tube and a dab or two of KNB. Well just wanted ya to
know from a faithful KNB user what's happening up here in Ontario Canada!
Respectfully, Willis "SNAGMAN" Beam
I write an outdoor column for a local publication and am a licensed guide on Joe Pool Lake here in Texas. I have used scents for a long time and have used KicknBass since it was first introduced here in Texas. This is THE BEST--bar none-- on the market today! I could go on and on with stories, but let me tell you two from this fall---
On a trip to Lake Fork under some pretty miserable conditions, I was using a spinnerbait with little success. I sprayed the bait with Kick'n® Bass, and slowed down my retrieve. I caught several fish in a row(four while my two partners caught nothing!) but the most fun was a cast where the fish kept hitting the bait--a total of four times-before inhaling it. When we brought the 7 lber in, we noticed she was blind in one eye! No doubt about it, that fish was caught by the KNB smell!
The second trip was at Joe Pool under miserable conditions--yet my son and I had great success(saw no other fish caught by anyone that day) by pitching 4 inch black power worms soaked in Kick'n® Bass and dead sticking the bait in heavy cover. We wound up with several nice fish using this technique under very adverse conditions. If I can help you with techniques or help you with Joe Pool Lake, call me at 817-468-4132 or email me at rrdonnel@onramp.net .
I have been fishing in a local fun club for about ten years. Myself and a friend decided to fish a open tournament put on by a local federation club. The areas top fisherman are in this club. Due to the drought in the east the lake (Smith Mt.) was about 6ft. low. This is early dec. and the weather was still in the upper 60's to lower 70's. So the fishing fever was still in us. I had been using "Bang" spray all morning and had caught 2 dinks by 11:30. My partner and I made a move and I started to use "Kick'n® Bass" on our jig-n-pig. In the next 2 hours we put 5 keeper fish in the boat and 1 was big fish of the tournament weighing 5.54lbs. The way the fish were picking up the jigs and holding on I believe was due to the "Kick'n® Bass". I haved switched to crawfish and garlic for all my future tournaments. Thanks for the great products.
Have kind of a funny story too tell. Went on Fun fishing trip on Lake Tenkiller here in Northeast Okla. last weekend fishing for Spotted Bass. I pulled up on one of my favorite Banks to find a couple of guys already there. looked as if they were inside of point headed into the cove off of this Bank. so I stated to fish down the Bank the other way from them on the Main lake side. They started to complain about me being there. I said I was going the other way from them not to worry. The guy in back said who cares the fish are not biting anyway. Now I am putting my K&B in a Plastic freezer Bag, I have found this works for me very well. All I have to do is just swing my Bait over and drop into the Bag squeeze the outside of bag no mess, no spill, drop the bag down in boat and go on Fishing the stuff sticks to the inside of the Bag works real well. Sure save trying to get the darn stuff off my white Boat. Now back to story as these guys was complaining I douse my Watermelon french fry into the Bag pitch next a big Rock and bang first fish not a big one but a fish. next douse into the Bag a pitch into rocks another fish this one a little better. Guys this happen Five times in a row before I made a pitch without a Fish.I was getting excited myself but wait I was by this time several feet away from you know who and you know how sound carries on water. I could hear about everything they said. I could tell the Guy in Front was not a happy camper at all and the guy in the back of the Boat kept Hollering !He got another one what's the deal!!. Finally the Guy in Front had about all he could stand of his buddy in back he said !Shut Up BO, I don't give a Dam about his Fish What I want to know WHAT"s he's got in that Dam BAG! I like to fell out of the Boat the way he said it. So I said hey guys I am not trying to be smart OK but you look like you could use some help I said here and I trolled over and gave them the bottle I was using From. WE talk about it and told the where I got mine and went on my way.
I just wanted to say that Kenny, you have one heck of a product. Yesterday at the WON tournament I saw quite a few tournament anglers weighing in with small bags and numerous anglers with only one or two fish. Wish I had fished this tournament. I was using a Watermelon Zoom Lizard and Kick'n' Bass. I caught and released well over a limit of fish that would have put me in the top 1/4 of the pack on the first day. This tournament was at Lake Pleasant and from many of people I heard all week that the lake has been really tough. Well not for me and my Kick'n' Bass. Thank you Kenny

I'm not the type of person to believe the hype about the new lure that catches tons of fish, or the new scent that can turn you into a professional fisherman overnight. But there is no doubt that this stuff works, I use the crawfish scent, and since I started using it, I went from being a decent fisherman in my club to being the top 6 champion. This stuff works!
I can't say either scent is all that much better as far as the bass are concerned but man do the catfish like the stuff. Caught a 12+ pounder on a four inch lizard in a bass tournament and numerous other cats at unexpected moments while fishing for bass. By the way, can I buy this stuff by the gallon to save on the packaging cost (bulk discount)????
thanks

Just a note to tell you that I used the Garlic formula of Kick n' Bass this past weekend and won the first annual Pro Bass Tournament on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes in Florida. I also won Big Bass, too. I was flipping plastic baits to Kissimmee grass and caught all of my fish this way. My baits were sprayed with the garlic formula because I have been unable to obtain the Crawfish formula, which is what I probably would have preferred. However, the garlic worked great. My big bass hit so lightly that I gave her pressure before realizing I had a fish on.....I think she held onto the bait due to the garlic taste. I also found that one little squirt was all I needed. I checked the bait after about 30 mins. of flipping and you could still smell the garlic very easily! I'd really like to try the Crawfish formula of Kick n' Bass because, if it's anything like the garlic, Moby Dick may succumb to my flipped baits!!
Thank You,

I have been fishing Joe Pool lake here in Texas since it opened, and almost exclusively for the past five years(with the exception of a few trips each year to our other great Texas lake, Lake Fork.) I'm a licensed guide on the lake, submit regular Joe Pool fishing reports on the Bass Fishing Home Page and recently joined the staff of Outdoor Times as a staff member responsible for a monthly column about Joe Pool. I've always believed in scents, but am really impressed with your Kick'n® Bass product. I've used nothing else since your product hit the market and I'm absolutely convinced it has made a big difference in both the number of bites and my bite/catch ratio. Keep up the good work!

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YA'LL BUT THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN SUPER HOT & THE FISHING HAS NOT !!!!!!!! BUT THANKS TO Kick'n® Bass I HAVE NOT ONLY BEEN ABLE TO PUT FISH IN THE BOAT BUT ALSO MONEY IN MY POCKET !!!! THANK YOU SCIENTIFIC BASS FOR SUCH A TRULY FINE PRODUCT !!!!!!!
I am totally impressed with how long the attractant stays on the lure after it has been applied. It doesn't seem to take very much either In fishing several tournaments on the ABA circuit, I have consistently outfished my partner in the same boat. The only difference in what we are using has been the Kick'n® Bass Attractant vs. the "paste type" that he is using. You have made a believer out of me and I'll be happy to recommend your product to anyone who isn't fishing against me in a tourney.
