Foreshadowing?

Following the Super Bowl, which I thought lacked in creative commercials, I was lamenting to my family that I had not seen any good fishing commercials this year either.  I have thought that many of the Rapala commercials over the years have been particularly creative and entertaining.

Then I got an e-mail with this video.  I think they are taking a different path this year. . . .

That is pretty gutsy, calling the shot.  We will see how that works out for them.

It has already hooked me.  You know I LOVE suspending jerkbaits (e.g. In Suspense ).  If Rapala is coming out with another bait like that, I cannot wait to buy a half dozen.  I hope they make it in sizes large enough for my likes (i.e. “Big Baits = Big Fish”).

I will add a few more boxes to my collection.

Speaking of the Super Bowl:  The BassMaster Classic has been called the “Super Bowl” of bass fishing.  Actually, I read an article once where founder Ray Scott said the Super Bowl should be called the BassMaster Classic of football.  I like that.  Anyway, now that the Super Bowl and other preliminaries are out of the way, the 2015 BassMaster Classic is just around the corner.  I do not know who I will cheer for this year because KVD will not be fishing the classic for the first time in his career.  We will see if any of the Shadow Rap “shot-calling” comes true???

Oh, if any of those bass jocks want to talk about “cold weather” bass fishing, I might know a thing or two.
