The Klicka Special; The Cat's Out Of The Bag...

For quite some time, I had been using a Canyon Plastics tube that I modified with an orange dye. At Lake Mead, I caught about 40 fish a day with it. One of those days I happened to have my sponsor Jay Pennington with me. Immediately Jay worked to match the colors, it wasn't until the night before the opening day of the Bass-A-Thon that he surprised me with the first batch of the "Klicka Special" gitzit tube. Canyon Plastics released the the gitzit tube the next day and it was a huge success...and I am so happy because this is my true signature bait!

This is a bait that I developed. There have been an awful lot of bass caught on my goto bait on the Colorado River chain, and it works. It was the best Canyon Plastics seller at the Bass-A-Thon. I am very proud of it and feel very honored that Canyon Plastics named a bait after me and then to find out that it was the best seller at the show! I am speechless.

The Klicka special is now on the market...soon to be on the Canyon Plastics website! (Click the logo on the right to visit their website.)

When you catch fish on it…send a photo to me. I will post them on my website.

2010 season was awesome; what more can I ask for?

This year on the WON Bass tour as a Pro was awesome in many ways. 8th in the south, 9th overall, I met some great people, which I now travel with, that are helping and taking me under their wings. I had some great on and off water experiences.

I picked up a big sponsor Canyon Plastics. I now have a full deal with a boat wrap. Everyone usually takes a while to get this far, so for me, I was truly blessed. It was a magical year, what more can I ask for. I look forward to fishing next year.

The 8.29 fish at the Havasu tournament changed my life as far as fishing. Opportunities of catching big fish like that in tournaments don't come around to often. There was a WON Bass article and pictures. That put me on the radar, that certainly gave me some ammunition to go after some sponsorship deals.

Chris Ricci, Tami Curtis, and Mike Folkestad, got on the "Jeff wagon" I don't know why, but I am grateful, they have been very good to me. Mike, especially has been very good to me. I have no complaints.

Every time I go to a tournament I learn something new, especially the Delta, since it was my first time there. Looking back on this last season, making plans for next year, I will key in more on tube baits and reaction baits. I will probably fish those 75% of the time.
