Default Red alert Samples

I received my samples from Red Alert last week and wanted to wait until I had a chance to go fishing to post a review but the weather keeps putting that on hold.
My initial thought on the samples that Keith sent look to be made to withstand many trips of fishing. The popping cork is louder than any other I have seen. I cant wait to fish with it. I also like the fact that Keith is using a flexible wire and I will not have to worry about it bending.
Looks like the next chance I will get to go fishing will be in two weeks. I will be sure to update when I actually get a chance to try the corks and spinners out.

Yeah same here, he sent me a few cork samples, and I have yet to use them due to weather, but I was so impressed I went ahead and ordered 6 more corks! Ill be using them this weekend.

Actually Keith and I will be hitting big lake on Sat 6-6 so we can test out a whole slew of gear

I was not lucky enough to get in on the free samples, so I purchased some from him. Fished them last week on BL.........I'll let everyone draw their own conclusions about them after you try them. But,
I'll be buying more from him - They worked in my boat!!

martyf...I am very much ready to hit the water with you!!! I am working in South Texas unitl the 2nd... and then its FISHIN TIME!!

popncork...I will be sure you get one of the new lures I am working on...lets just say its a twist on a buzz bait that I have been working on for a while...that early morning glass on the water gets a rude awakening with this one LOL

latravcha...I feel your pain with the weather interference ... I cant even get a line in the water here and I am 15 miles from Freeport.

Same here, I received some great baits from Red Alerts and the weather has been terrible. I am planning to make a trip this weekend if the weather cooperates. One thing to add, I attempted to purchase 6 more corks off of your website and it would only let me order one at a time and not update the quantity. Update, I was able to order the corks. Looks like I was doing something wrong origanally but I figured it out

Are you using a jig head on your weighted ones? or just as hook?

marty, on my corks, I use a brass weight at the bottom or leave it off. I do it that way so the fisherman has the choice to use jighead or plain hook
