Southern Trout Eaters DVD
The Southern Trout Eaters DVD is our first film, and something we are intensely proud of producing. We spent the Fall of 2009 thru the Fall of 2010 compiling the footage for this film. At 2 hours and 40 minutes, the film is anything but short on content. We show anglers how we are hunting and catching trophy bass with the Huddleston Deluxe, MS Slammer, Triple Trout, Nezumaa Rat, and Big Hammer swimbaits. The film primarily focuses on the trout fed lakes in the Appalachian Mountains of Georgia and the Carolinas. We take the viewers to Arkansas, and share our first attempts at bigbait fishing in the Ozarks too.

There is a strange fusion of saltwater and freshwater bass. There is a yin and yang.

I am a huge fan of Owner Hooks. I have had a journey with treble hooks, as most of us have had. You go thru the balance of: Uber sharp points, short shank/non fouling, hook strength and ability to handle 80# braid or a giant fish, or both....
