Has anyone ever discussed the Doug Hannon snakes on this forum? I noticed his web site has quite a few new pictures of large bass taken on the snake lures he sells. Has anyone ever tried these? I'd have to think if snakes were such a hot lure there would be more of them on the market - but I don't know.

I bought his snake kit a few years ago and......that was a mistake. The snakes are made out of that vanishing, 3X-type soft plastic. The baits are extremely light in weight and almost require a spinning rod/reel to throw one. Even managing to throw one with a finesse-type baitcasting rig in a swamp pond only got me one 2 lber.

Interesting... I almost bought those snakes too but it couldn't quite justify it since I don't fish topwater like that much. Glad to hear I saved a few bucks :)

I live in Florida and I didnt buy those snakes. Theres something "fishy" about the way they looked so I refrained from purchasing. As far as being a gimmick.

Heck, a horny toad, or a weightless worm will atleast do the very same thing or better based on what I saw. It was pointless to buy.

Doug is just trying to make some money I guess. Supposedly the guy has landed more than 800 bass over 10 lbs. Which is mind boggling to me.

I caught 900 LOL!!!! I would have to see all 800 pics LOL!!!

I say that because there are just to many people in this fishing thing that have Roland Martin Disease LOL!! 7's, 8's and 9's are not 10's LOL!

Ya, I haven't seen any pics???

You need to buy Doug's reel to throw the snake }( Its the one with the Ninja Star looking spool...

Good feedback!

I actually really enjoyed his book - "Big Bass Magic".
It's worth the $15 or whatever it cost. He wrote it 10 or 15 years ago, long before BBZ.
