The Catfish
: is a truly versatile lure designed for the Walleye market in the States developed for casting or trolling. With the bottom hook removed, this is also a weedless lure which can also be used for bottom bouncing without fear of snagging; With the bottom hook in place this can be worked and trolled with no fear of snagging in open water. Both in America and Europe Walleye / Zander are known to prey heavily on juvenile catfish.
Bobcat
: This is our own Dawg made for us by the same people (Trophy Technologies) who make the original Bulldawg for Brad in the same style as the "Uptown Dawg". These came about after discussion with several members of the PAC. They were concerned about the amount of damage that could be inflicted on a Pike by the huge thick jighook; many of them told us they cut the jighook off before fishing and rigged a treble further back in its place so we came up with the Bobcat.
This range is very slightly softer than a bulldawg with a different hook arrangement. They are all slightly lighter than real bulldawgs but a little heavier than the Shallow Bulldawgs. Add to this the fact that they are hand poured and come with the “original style” hand cut tail plus they are “glueable” which means you can fix them with superglue (Superglue3 or original Loctite Superglue) when they get torn and all at less than the price of a bulldawg. These were tested extensively during the 2005 reservoir season by several members of the PAC and LAS, in the reservoirs, on the fens and in Holland and they proved very successful and the rest is history as they say. These now outsell original Bulldawgs 4 to 1. Bobcat prices...
