The Jenk's Bait and Tackle Chatter Flash is so deadly the bait is getting annihilated on the water! One of our regular anglers Robyn Mcalpine brought this in. After 30 or so fish the bait finally gave way to the last pike that hit it. A bait lasting for 30 fish is a pretty durable bait. Glad to see its being pushed to the limit. Stop on in and grab some of these awesome new baits we are making. They are putting lots of fish in the boat!
