E Mail From the Past,
still good as the day it was written.
I fished Lake O.H. Ivey in Texas last Saturday, with bass guide Geoff Walker. He being a pro rep for Kickn' Bass suggested that I use the garlic formula on my bait. Before the day was done my partner and I caught seventeen bass between seven and ten pounds, which we released back into the lake. I feel that the kickn' bass played a major role in our tremendous success that day.
I have loved the kicknbass products since the first time I used them. I often use the "walleye" flavor on my BASS plastics because of results I get! Thank You Kick-N-Bass for increasing my catch rate substantially!
Thanks to all the board members that decided to put Butch and me on the Pro Staff. It sure won't be a hard job because we have been telling people and giving bottles away for quit a while now. It is a product that we believe in and buy by the case and felt it was only right that people we know and were really wanting to catch fish and didn’t know about it needed to try it. I have never heard a negative word about it’s affects, but don’t get it on you boat, although now I hear that have a product that cleans it off your boat. I can promise you that we will be trying the new cleaner soon.
Butch and I were given a bottle of KNB garlic scent from a friend, N.C. Clanahan to try, so one day when fishing was slow I decided to put some on my 10” motor oil worm. In just a short period of time I caught a good fish. I reapplied not knowing that I might not have needed to, but the next bite was a 10.70 lber. Butch noticed that I was doing something different so he ask me what and I told him. He decided to try it and then he caught a big fish. Well that is all it took to make us a believer in KNB and now we put it on everything. Butch now prefers the Shad flavor but I just can’t help but love the Garlic. They both are to good and like I have told so many people, if you are using live bait squirt some on because it just seems to call the fish to dinner. Thanks N.C. for sharing you KNB.
11 July 01, I decided to take the kids fishing today, to a local pond for about 3 hours, in the middle of the day (1230 to 3pm). The day started out slow and of course the kids started getting restless. So after an hour of nothing, I went to my tackle bag and pulled out some Kick'n Bass Garlic scent. The fish just jumped all over the Zoom White Pearl flukes they were using after I doused their baits!!! My son (9 years old) caught his first fish within 15 minutes of me adding the scent, he ended up catching 3 fish for a total of about 7pds. My baby girl(5 years old) caught a 2pdr and lost another. I know that the Kick'n Bass made the difference, it made a ho hum day into a day they will never forget!! Thanks Kick'n Bass for making such a dynamite scent!!!!

I am a tournament bass angler for almost 10 years now. In Michigan, one of the first tourneys of the year is the lake Neppessing bass clubs Hollaway resv tourney. This year was the 22nd annual.This lake has been called the DEAD SEA, this tourney has a very good payout-$4,000.00 first place and $500.00 big bass. The problem is that very few catch bass on this lake. It has a 7 fish limit .If you even catch 3 fish you are sure to be in the money. I have fished this tourney for 9 years now and have only caught 5 fish in that span. This tourney always has a great turnout because of the payout not the fish. This year there were 3 pros in it, but that didn't matter they did not have KNB. Well my partner and I had our limit of 7 within a half hour. We ended up catching 3 limits. Now I don't know if it was luck, right place right time, or what. All I know is that we were useing KNB for the first time on this lake and we won the $4,000.00 and big bass$500.00,call it what you want-but I know for a fact KNB won us this tourney just ask the guys that were fishing 50 ft from us and could not catch a fish. It was KNB just don't tell anyone he he he.
HEY COS,that window decal sure would look good on my truck.
I have tried kick-n-bass in two different flavors on two different lakes and have zero bass to show for it. I have caught bass on both of these lakes before and I thought it might help, like increase numbers or size. Nada, nope, nothing. I will keep trying, went to a third lake today and caught 25-30 bass without using kick-n-bass. Had a good thing going and did not want to turn them off so I did not try any scent today. Next time I will try kick-n-bass again and see what happens.

We fished the Honey Hole North Division Sunday May 6th at Lake Bridgeport and won 4th place. We used Strike King 4/12" flipping tubes in Watermelon/chart.and 3/8 oz. Texas Blade orange head spinnerbaits with gold Colorado blades with chart and white skirts. The Texas wind was blowing 3 to 4 ft. waves but we fished main lake windy points. We caught a lot of fish using crawfish on the tubes and garlic on the spinnerbaits. If you got out of the wind you got out of the fish so we decided to stay and fish in the wind.

I FISHED A TEAM TOURNAMENT IN APRIL ON TOLEDO BEND. THE FISH WE WERE TRYING TO CATCH WERE ON MAIN LAKE POINTS. IT WAS A VERY WINDY DAY AND WE WERE TRYING TO FISH THE INSIDE GRASS EDGE IN 6 TO 8 FT. WE HAD CAUGHT SMALL FISH IN COVES, BUT FELT LIKE THERE WERE BETTER FISH ON THE POINTS. ABOUT ALL WE COULD DO IN THE WIND WAS SET UP A DRIFT AND TRY TO KEEP THE BOAT CLOSE TO THE GRASS LINE. CAROLINA RIGGED BABY BRUSHOGS AND LIZARDS SOAKED WITH PLENTY OF KICK' BASS® CAUGHT ALL OF OUR FISH. I HAD HOPED WITH THE RIGHT CONDITIONS WE COULD CATCH 15 OR 16 LBS. WE CAUGHT A LITTLE OVER 12 AND FINISHED 9TH. THE WIND MADE IT HARD ON A LOT OF FISHERMEN, BUT THAT'S HOW IT USUALLY WORKS. I KNOW THAT KICK'N BASS® HELPED WITH OUR WEIGHT. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF FISH THAT MIGHT BITE A LURE WITHOUT KICK'N BASS®, BUT IT'S THE FISH THAT IT WILL MAKE BITE THAT REALLY COUNT.

Here is the latest news from the tournament front... Took 4th in a club tournament this last Sunday, but did have the biggest fish for the Tournament. 3.17lbs (not that big but big enough) It was caught on a Pop'n Image with Kick'n Bass® Garlic. Of the other four I weighed in.. Another was on the Pop'n Image, One was caught on a Jig & Pig with KNB Crawfish formula and two on Jerry's Tournament Tackle 7 inch Slither Worms in Motor Oil color with KNB Garlic. I have two more tournaments this month. I'll let you know how they go...

My wife, Donna and I placed third in the couples' division in the Texas State Bass Tournament on Lake Amistad. We weighed in a limit of five bass each day of the two-day tournament for a total of 26.92 pounds.
A special thanks to Jim Pool and his Waypoint Marina for their hard work in putting this tournament together. It was by far the best organized Bass Tournament I have ever fished in. Also thanks to the tournament sponsors Waypoint Marina, Nitro Boats, Stern, Strike King, Ray Murski, and the Chamber of Del Rio, Texas.
I would also like to thank my sponsors, Bass Pro Shops, Fin & Feather Sports Sales, Nitro Boats, Kick'n' Bass® Attractant, Rod Bob, Bumper Stumper Lures and Stren Fishing Line for their support.
Lake Amistad is one of the best lakes to fish in Texas and the people around Del Rio were some of the friendliest.

Just got in from the lake. The water temperature was 46 degrees, under partly sunny skies. The bass were in a NEGATIVE feeding mood, and they are still in transition still between Winter & Spring. Much of the morning was simply casting practice, but when I applied KNB Anise Shad to my jerk baits after I had put some on my jig-n-frog. A few more flips with the jig, and I put it down. I then picked up the jerk bait with Anise Shad and produced 3 nice bass. Two smallmouth and a largemouth. But more importantly I picked up on what the fish were doing. They were suspended over about 8-9 ft of water. I had lost a smaller fish in the morning early without KNB applied to the jerk bait. But these finicky bass ate the jerk bait up. The largemouth had it in it's throat. (literally inhaled it) IF YOU DON'T THINK KICK-N-BASS WILL STAY ON HARD BAITS THINK AGAIN!! The jerk bait still had residue on it for 2 hours, and you could noticeably smell it as well. I really think KNB Anise Shad was the difference. I didn't boat a ton of fish, but I did get out of "Casting Practice Mode". BY THE WAY - I had talked with several boats, none had even had a bite in 8-9 hours.

My father & I were practicing for an upcoming tournament. I had pre-soaked several plastic worms, centipedes & tubes in the garlic scent. We were fishing a rather narrow canal, so we hung to one bank with my father flipping & pitching directly in front of the boat, and I casting across the canal from the back. I lost what felt like a decent size fish in some submerged dead trees. It took my worm however. We continued on about 100 yards to the end & decided it was productive enough to fish back. We hung to the opposite side & fished the same pattern on the way back. 100 yards and about 45 minutes later, at the same dead tree, my father landed a 17 inch Bass. Guess what it spit out? My worm soaked in the garlic scent. It had held it for all of that time, and then went for my dads. We could not believe it. We fish in a Bass club against some pretty tough guys. My husband uses your garlic & crawdad scent also. We are always in the top 5 weight class. Thank you.

My Name is Daryl Whisenant,
I fished a TX on Lake Norman in Feb. 2001 and it was cold. We started the Tx with around 20 boats and only 6 showed up to the weigh in. Most had left because of the cold and the fish were not biting. I finished second using Kick'n Bass Garlic Scent on a Zoom worm. Come to find out the boat that finished 1st was also using Kick'n Bass. The other boats that did weigh in had no fish. This goes to show no matter the weather, this is some great stuff. With a little bit of toughness and the right product you can catch fish in any conditions. After the weigh in, the other guys in the other boats were asking about the Kick'n Bass from me and the other boat that finished 1st.I think we convinced them that it does make a difference. Tight lines to all and use that Kick'n Bass.

During a club tournament on the Choptank River last fall, I got a lesson on the importance of using scents/ attractants. I had fished all of my usual spots during the day, but only had one keeper sized bass to show for my efforts. An hour before weigh-in I decided to head back to the ramp because there is a seawall there that tends to hold fish at times. When I got to the ramp area, there were several boats already working the wall with jigs and soft plastics. One of these boats belonged to a member of my club and he invited me to fall in behind him and fish the wall. In the 45 minutes that I fished along this 150 yard wall along with 5 or 6 other boats, I saw 7 fish caught. I caught 4 of these and the other member of my club caught the other three. We didn't see anyone else even set the hook1 I'm sure you can guess what the big difference was!!!! Kick'n Bass was the difference! I didn't see any of the other fishermen using any attractant at all. They seemed to be using similar baits, and I caught my fish on two different baits in several different colors. The same goes for the other fellow in my club. I was already convinced that scents/attractants worked, but this really seemed to drive the point home!

We came in 2nd.place in the senior division with 10 fish for a two day catch of 28.52.We fished 4 to 6ft. with lizards & jerk shads with lot's of garlic Kick'n Bass. The secret was finding where the water had covered the new grass and then finding the dark line and throwing small Carolina rigs with 16 oz.weight. Our first fish was 4.5 lb.

WHAT A PRODUCT !!
KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine is just the ticket to keep any boat looking like new. Just spray it on, and wipe it off. The true test though is always "road-grime". You know, when you trailer your boat through rain going to a tournament and you get that film from oil, tires, and dirt off the road even with a cover on you still get that film. Then, you try to clean it off. Road grime just smears and looks awful until the 2nd or 3rd wash!! KNB-Bass Boat Clean & Shine is the answer, it takes it off the first time, plus it gives your boat/tow vehicle that showroom luster. IT'S FAST, IT'S EASY, AND INEXPENSIVE. Consider how much a carwash costs anymore, now add your time and inconvenience. If you're going to clean stuff up, do it right the first time. KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine saves you time. Try it, you'll like it. HERE'S A TIP FOR USING IT TAKE 5 -10 MINUTES and go wipe down your spouses vehicle with KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine when they're not home. Then, put a bucket with a wet sponge, damp towel, and a shammy next to it when you're done. Go in and watch Jimmy Houston Outdoors, OR simply go fishing. (It'll look like you worked on it all day) It'll look great, and you'll look great. This is a win - win deal!!

My name is Jeff Saunders, a new pro Staffer for Kick'n Bass. On February 4th,2001 my partner Jimmie Jones and I fished the Texas 100 Team tournament at Granbury. We found a fish kill underway when we got onto the lake. We knew it was going to be tough. Following plans laid out the night before, we set out to our first spot. Once at our spot we found dying shad all over the top of the water. Jimmie started with a crankbait and soon missed our first bite. I started with a jig soaked in Kick'n Bass Crawfish. After a few casts I caught a 5.10 pound Bass. We soon set out to try our other spots and could not beg a bite. After fishing to within about an hour of weigh-in, we went back to our original spot. When we arrived a friend of mine was sitting in the spot. As he left the spot he said he had fished it for a couple of hours without a bite. I resoaked my jig and soon had another good fish on, but lost it in the timber. We fished right up to the time to run to weigh-in. Once there we found that only 7 fish were caught out of 104 teams. We finished in Third place and Third place big Bass. My friend asked us how we managed to catch a fish when they could not get bit. I told him about Kick'n Bass and I believe he will now be a user! I would like to thank Kick'n Bass, Fun and Sun Marine, Bumper Stumper Lures and Mister Twister for helping us with this tournament finish. Jeff Saunders

During a tournament in the 2000 season the bass were heavily pressured, and in a negative feeding mood. However, thanks to Kick-N-Bass Anise Shad. I was lucky enough to cull almost three ( 3 ) limits of bass the 1st day, and had Big Bass on Day 2. My overall finish in the event was 2nd. I missed winning the event by a mere .50 of a pound. Kick-N-Bass is by far the best product on the market today.

I have used Jacks Juice for years so when I got some Kick'n Bass as a Xmas present I just threw it in the boat and forgot it. Last week I had a tournament on Lake Lanier; water temp. in high 40s; really tough bite. The spots were just nipping it and hitting short. Finally I decided to try the Kick'n Bass and to make a long story short won the tournament. They really grabbed on to my finesse worm and hung on for dear life! At least long enough for me to get a quick hook set. After experimenting with different ways to wash the smell off my hands I came up with using Cheer with bleach soap powder. Kick'n Bass really does work for me. Finesse Man (Don Schweitzer)

I have been a loyal supporter of Kick'n Bass Fish Attractants for over 4 years now and have been on the Pro Staff for 3 years. During this time I have continued to be amazed at how this product out performs all other attractants on the market. When the fish are finicky or short striking, using this product will help the fish hold on to the bait long enough to guarantee a good hook set!
I have to tell this one story. When I was pre-fishing for the B.A.S.S. on Pickwick/Wilson last year I had to stop using Kick'n Bass on my jig. Off course you don't want to set the hook on fish the day before a big tournament, but I had several smallies while fishing Wilson that would not let go of the jig. I was fishing a point in about 25' of water and felt a bite. Instead of setting the hook I started slowly reeling, just enough to put a little pressure on the fish. To make a long story short I pulled that fish all the way up to within "net" range before I could get her to let go. I was totally amazed!
So now when I'm pre-fishing several days prior to a tournament, I simply don't use Kick'n Bass. It could be banned as an unfair advantage!
Thanks to all the gang at Kick'n Bass and welcome aboard Jimmy! What a great addition to this Pro Staff.

I was fishing a team tournament last year during the springtime. I was busy flipping a jig into cover as we sped past it, my partner was fast reeling a spinnerbait when I heard him exclaim whoa that was a good fish that just missed my spinnerbait. We fished around that fish for a while, throwing everything in the boat at her when I recalled some advice a guy had given me sometime ago about bedding bass. He had told me to use garlic scent on a bedding bass and they would go wild. I thought to myself, well I've been using crawfish KNB all morning and are one short of my limit so what the heck. I placed a couple of drops of garlic KNB on my jig and ka-wham she took it, first cast. She weighed a little bit over 5 lbs, enough for 2nd place that day. Thanks KNB for making the best scent out there.

I am in my second year as a Kick'n Bass Pro-Staff member. While I'm proud to wear the Kick'n Bass shirt and hat at the tournaments I compete in, it's the product itself that provides the most satisfaction. When the "scent craze" hit about ten years ago, I was a user of Fish Formula, Lockjaw, and BANG. I noticed an increase in my creels of bass when I used a scent, but had no idea that the bar could be raised much higher. I had heard of, but never used, Kick'n Bass until I won a bottle of garlic formula as part of a tournament giveaway. While running low on BANG, I decided to give the Kick'n Bass a try. The first difference I noticed in Kick'n Bass was not when I applied it to my bait, but when I opened the bottle and got a whiff of the strongest garlic odor I had ever smelled. As I applied the scent to my jig/craw combination I saw how it saturated the bait instead of just coating it and dripping off. This pleased me, but not as much as the results that I saw immediately! I not only caught more numbers of fish, but better quality fish than I was used to catching in the same old half-productive areas. My partner and I have since performed our own "control"...one using Kick'n Bass and one using no attractant or another brand. The Kick'n Bass ALWAYS wins! I've since been able to fine tune my technique for maximizing my success with Kick'n Bass which I will share with you. When I am flipping' or pitching a jig or worm to cover, I will always use the crawfish formula. You'll notice that when you switch baits and then return to a lure previously soaked with Kick'n Bass, it'll still be discharging the attractant into the water. When I am fishing open water with a jig or Carolina-rig, I prefer to use the garlic scented formula. When I switch to a spinnerbait, buzzbait, crankbait, or other fast moving bait, I like to use the anise/shad formula which seems to mimic the shad more. In the past 2 years I have accumulated a lot of money in tournament winnings riding solely on the strength of Kick'n Bass. I have qualified for the Angler's Choice Regional Championship the past two years and the Mercury National Championship this past year. The only negative thing about promoting Kick'n Bass is that my competition will have the same edge as I feel Kick'n Bass has given me. Those who know me well will be the first to tell you I'm a straight shooter when it comes to the truth, but don't take my word for it...purchase your own Kick'n Bass and note your own results.

I was fishing the other day. And nothing was biting. Me and my buddy got to the lake at about 7 in the morning and several hours had gone by and nothing was happening. When I saw a bottle rolling around in the bottom of my boat ? And guess what it was that's right a almost empty bottle of the stuff. So I decided to use a little on my Buzzbait that had been catching nothing with 2 casts and bang a 3 pounder ! well after 3 more fish that size my buddy in the back was wondering what in the heck I was using ? so I told him what kind of lure it was and he had one too, But it wasn't working ( HA HA) Then he caught me putting some on my lure, now the cat was out of the bag. So I had to start sharing what little bit I had left. And sure enough he started catching fish too. This stuff is AWESOME!!! Thanks for making it and a special thanks to my other buddy Clyde for leaving it in my boat! GOOD FISHING TO ALL AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS ! Your fellow Christian angler Tim PS.

This trail started out with 147 teams this year and with the help of KNB and some consistency, our team may not have taken 1st Place in any one tournament, even though we where in the money, but having the advantage of this product, helped us be consistent for the year and come out on top. In two weeks we go to the State Championship on Lake Sam Rayburn, and with the pre-fishing that we did and using KNB, we feel that we will have an excellent opportunity to do good at this tournament. Ken, again a great product, in which I usually don't fall below 4 bottles in my boat at any one time, or it's time to restock. This product also help me become the Bass Angler of the Year in my bass club for the second year in a row. thanks again..... Bob Aldert Richland Hills, Texas
I would like to take a moment to tell you how I heard about Kick n Bass and some of the fishing stories behind it I have fished all my life...the last 10 with Bass'n Gals..WBFA...Redman and some local clubs ..I also surf the net a lot. I am an avid reader of Bass Fishing Home Page...and I kept seeing these post about KNB...day after day...time and time again...I had read so much about it that I decided to go to the web page and ask about it..I e-mailed a letter out to them and in minutes I had a replay!!...Have to say it was one of the best E-mails I have ever sent... Not long after the e-mail I received a call from Ken Revell...and he shipped me out 2 bottles...WELL...I took it to the Red River in La ...to practice for the Classic...I had my KNB in the boat.. BUT...to tell the truth I had almost forgot about it...I fished all morning and had 2 short fish...tried everything I knew to catch the fish, I was going thru the tackle box and saw the KNB...I told my husband Ralph...Hey here is the KNB think I am going to try it... I open a pack of worms...put about 4 drops in the bag...rubbed the bag between my hands to spread it over the bait...took one out and put it on....the 3rd cast ,I landed a 4 lb.bass...WOW!!!!...I made the next 4 cast and on the 4th cast I landed a 2 lb.bass I said to Ralph...you think this KNB was what done it...and he said...WEll I am not using it and I haven't had a bite...he then put on one of the worms and by the end of the day we had put 6 nice keepers in the boat.. Thanks Kick n Bass!!! My sponsors are...Deaton Marine. Triton Boats Pinpoint Electronics Mercury Motors ISG Lures My Husband Ralph My Family... And last but not Least...KICK N BASS!!!!!
I've got to be about the worst jig fisherman to ever wet a hook. Just never could feel the bite until at our club top 10 tourney last weekend I squirted a little of the "Magic Crawdad Juice" on my jig. Didn't have to feel the bite. Just put it by a cypress tree, jiggle it a little and when the line starts swimming away set the hook. I weighed in a five fish limit of 20.55lbs for second place. Culled 3 fish over 2lbs each. I'll have a bottle in my boat from now on.
Thanks again Wallace Erwin
I'd just like to thank you guys for your fine product. I doused my lizards in Crawfish the night before day 3 of the M1 tournament. That day I came in 3rd and went to the final Top 10. I used the same lizards but more Kick'n Bass on them threw final day. I took fourth and took home $12,500. Being the youngest one there at 16 years of age, I needed every advantage I could get. I used plastics 2 out of the 4 days, but those 2 days Kick'n Bass was always being used. I would love to talk about this more, but I have to go.

On a recent trip to Lake Huites in Mexico, my brother-in-law, Frank and I fished for the first two days using spinnerbaits, worms, and crank baits. We caught fish, on the average of twenty to thirty per day in the 1.5 lb. to 4.0lb. range. The third day after using kicknbass we both landed our biggest fish of the trip, a 5.8 pounder and without exaggeration caught approximately 130, yes one hundred thirty bass on that last day between 1.5lb. and 5.9 lb.. This was accomplished in my estimation for two reasons: First, the added attractant of KicknBass to every few casts without a doubt, Second becoming more familiar with the lake and having trained the guide on our boat to both the areas and type of fishing we were interested in. Until this trip I have not used kicknbass, however, I will be using it on all future outings. The fish definitely hold on to the bait longer which was evidenced by me in fishing plastic worms at which I consider myself a novice. The line would just move in the opposite direction and I would realize that a fish was on. I am an average fisherman and have already mentioned kicknbass to all my fishing buddies. There is no doubt in my that I would have caught fish without the attractant, however, I would not have caught as many. Thank You KicknBass> Art Hyslop
Just want to let you know about a new rod called Piranha Rods. Very sensitive and light. Comes with a one year warranty. Nice looks. As good as any rod I've ever used. I've used alot of fish attractants but the best I've used to date is Kick N Bass. I apply it on my baits about twice a day, instead of every other cast. I use it on soft plastics and on hard baits, and it stays on the lure a long time. Alan Dunn

MY PARTNER(BRET KILMER)AND I FISHED THE TX100 TRAIL;SABINE REGION AND WE USED KICK'N BASS ON ALL OF OUR PLASTICS ESPECIALLY MY BASSIN EELS).TO SAY THE LEAST WE TRIED WITHOUT KICK'N BASS AND I COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY THE FISH WOULD HIT THE BAIT. IT HELPED MY PARTNER AND ME WIN ANGLERS OF THE YEAR IN THAT REGION. IT ALSO HELPED ME WIN MY NIGHT TOURN.ON BOB SANDLIN WITH CENTURY BASS CLUB. IT GIVES ME JUST A LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO SET THE HOOK WHEN SOMETIMES YOU DON'T FEEL THE FISH PICK IT UP! ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOU WON'T CATCH ME WITHOUT HAVING KICK'N BASS IN MY BOAT! 11-05-99 HOPE GOD BLESS YOU HOOK SET AND MAY YOU'RE NEXT BASS BE THE BIG ONE, DUSTY RICHARDS,ALLEN,TX
This last Sunday my partner and I fished a tournament in the worst conditions possible. We had temps in the 30's and 40's and rain for the last three days with snow predicted on tournament day. The lake temp had dropped from 60 to 44 in just one week. My partner and I were fishing the same lure. I had just become a sales rep for Kick'n bass and had to prove to myself that it works. By noon we had just two fish in the boat. I started using the garlic scent and to my surprise I started catching fish. In fact I was catching 3 to 4 fish to my partners one. He hardly had time to fish as I was yelling get the net. We had our limit in just 10 minutes and we even culled that limit for larger fish twice. We were catching smallmouth. When it was all said and done we had a 5 fish limit for 15 lbs. and 3 oz. Thanks to Kick'n Bass we cashed a first place check. There was only one other team that had a limit and they had only 8 lbs. I am now a firm believer in Kick'n Bass and I can say that it works great.
I got my first bottle of Kick'n Bass Garlic as door prize in a tournament. I believed that scent didn't hurt but didn't help. It sat in my truck for about 6 months till I got sick of the smell. Well, I figured the best way to get rid of it is let my customers use it. As a professional guide I am not used to getting whooped by my clients I was happy for them but man they were catching fish behind me, so I started fishing harder to no avail. My clients were catching 3 to my 1 at least. I decided one day to put some of that garlic stuff on my lures. And WHAM a keeper bass the first cast. My client that day said you don't get to use this no more. My message to all guides is get some of this stuff. It will help your clients catch more fish. And that's the name of the game.

Went back home to So. Ca. in June for 2 weeks. I had just ordered the Crawfish scent and took it with me. My Dad and I went out on a 3/4 day boat out of Dana Point to do some Calico and sand bass fishing. Wow did this stuff work on saltwater bass! There were guys on the boat that had all kinds of fancy hand poured baits, all I was armed with were 3 colors of 5" grubs, some 1/2 oz lead heads and Kick'n bass crawfish. I outfished the all, and this my first time saltwater bassin with plastics. I even outfished the live bait dunkers! But it didn't stop there. My folks live on a super clear private lake, and the stuff helped me get lots of bites in the summer heat. They really hang on to this. To sum it all up, Its good stuff. Add a little glitter to it sometime, that's a secret for ya.
I went fishing at Lundy Lake last summer (1998). Went with about a dozen LA Sheriffs. Cool guys! They started ragging on the Kick'n' Trout the first night I brought it out. I had the last laugh. In the same boat with me was my buddy Gil, using a Berkley trout attractant. Didn't work. Cast for cast, I caught a dozen trout to his one. Tried it on my fly rod too. It worked!. Please send me another bottle. I think Gil borrowed my Kick'n Trout and forgot to put it back.
Even I have to sit back some time and just get blown away by this great line of scents. He is a copy of my lake report from last weekend. Cory you gave me the inspiration to post this. Thanks. C>
My wife had to spend a week up at the lake of the woods working, so every day I had to go fish from sunrise to sunset. As I have said before, It is a rough life but someone has to do it.
Well the bass were on the beds, all snuggled up in two's and three's. Caught one and then thought to myself I may as well leave them alone and harass the trout. The trout were biting. The lake is filled with weeds and you either have to use a bobber or a split shot rig with something that floats like Power Bait®.
Got out the first day and wanted to do some experimenting. Took a bobber, treble hook, A COTTON BALL AND SOME KICK'N TROUT. You should have seen the faces of the guys with all the fancy stuff when I said I was a chemist and was using cotton balls or bread. I could have sold all the Kick'n Trout we have in stock on that one lake.
Needless to say it worked great with the Power bait too and worms. Just open the top of the bottle and dip whatever in the bottle and then cast out. One guy did a test with me and the KNB treated bait outfished the untreated by 4 to 0. Needless to say I had a great week and made lots of friends. C>
I recently started fishing for trout seriously only in the past two years. In 1998, I went to the Fred Hall fishing show in my area and came upon the booth that was presenting "KicknBass". The guy was so persistent telling me how great this stuff was, that I finally bought a bottle of "Kick'n Bass" with garlic. I bought the scent with the garlic because I know that sometimes a garlic scent alone will attract more trout to the bait. I was anxious to try this stuff as soon as I could. I tried this stuff out at Irvine Lake, which is private lake in Orange County, California , and to be very honest with you, I didn't see any significant results. In fact, I was down right disappointed because of what I thought was just hype the guy at the fishing show was giving me. I stopped using it for the rest of the trout season. Then the very next year when trout season started up again, I was reading a fishing web page where this angler was just raving about using "Kick'n Bass". My first instincts were that this guy must be joking, because the previous year I had tried it, I didn't get any more bites with this stuff. Later, I kept on reading more favorable reports about him catching lots of trout using this "Kick'n Bass" scent and I began to wonder if I really gave this stuff a fair chance, mainly because of the integrity of this man who was submitting these very successful trout reports. This man's name is Jeff Sun, who is the web master for the www.fishinghotpage.com. I have the utmost respect for this mans testimony and I believe he would never falsify any reports. I therefore decided to give "Kick'n Bass" another try. I don't know why last year it didn't do anything, but this year I am constantly catching limits within a few hours and not waiting all day to limit. I have been fishing on the average 3 times a week and using "Kick'n Bass" has been absolutely devastating on the trout. Just about every time I go fishing at Irvine Lake, there are people on both sides of me not catching and I am just killing the trout left and right. They can't help but notice how much action I am getting. For those of them who are curious enough to ask, I proudly tell them that I using "Kick'n Bass" on my night crawlers. They are in awe and amazement how well I do. I know for a fact that everyone that has seen me catch trout and ask me what I'm using, went out and bought some "Kick'n Bass" scent with garlic. This stuff is beyond incredible. The only problem with this stuff is trying to have enough of it on hand. It sells out so fast, that I have to buy several bottles at a time so I don't run out. This testimony is true and I have people who can back me up on this because they all use "Kick'n Bass" too. Trout fishing has never been better thanks to "Kick'n Bass"!
World class freshwater Largemouth Bass country here. Just got back from the Stick Marsh, 6000acres of Bass heaven. Tried Kick'n bass Craw for the first time, loved it. Had a very productive day, more so than usual with my worms and Kicknbass, not to say that I may not have had this type of day anyway, one never knows. I did observe the attractant stayed on the lure much longer than the other scents I use, lasting for a much longer time. When fishing for LMB you got to try to think like a Bass. I was thinking that this scent is more like what a woman would want, and it is the females we are looking for. P.S. CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO ONE PEDDLING YOUR PRODUCTS IN BASS HEAVEN! Thank, DOC
As reported in The Arizona Republic on Sunday, April 25, 1999, (Page 8EV) I use Kick'n' Bass garlic scent. Although this was to remain a secret, While talking to Dwayne Smith Outdoor editor I slipped and of course he has a job to do so he wrote about this product that I used. Now that the cat is out of the bag.
I use and have used this product for a long time now. I happened acrossed it at one of our retail stores. Perhaps Wal-Mart and thought I'd try it. Now I use it all the time. "If the bait I am using has an amino acid impregnated into it, I'll still dip my plastics in to Kick'n' Bass." Thank You for such a fine product. 2 Time Arizona State Champion Bill Warman http://www.vsps.com
On April 18th I was fishing at Lake Pleasant just northwest of Phoenix, Arizona. I was using a Luck E Strike Enforcer Lizard in Pumpkin green pepper and had dipped the tail in chartreuse dye, to give the fish something different to look at. I soaked the lizard with Kick’n Bass Crawdad scent (which I know triggered the fish into biting and holding onto the bait). The fish was a 13.6# largemouth weighed on certified scales 9 hours later. I would have returned her, but she had swallowed the lure completely and the fight was too much for her. She had completed spawning.
I have used Kick’n Bass and Luck E Strike plastic lure products for awhile and swear by them. The have produced many good fish for me. I think that if I was not using them, I would not have caught such a beauty as this fish!!! The combination of Luck E Strike and Kick’n Bass are hard to compete with.
Thanks you Kick'n Bass you have a user for life!!!,

I FISH ALOT OF THE LOCAL TOURNAMENTS INCLUDING 100% BASS AND LOCAL CLUBS. THERE HAS BEEN DAYS THAT THE FISH WOULDN'T BITE UNLESS YOU WERE USING KICKNBASS. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS 20 FT. FROM ME USING THE SAME BAIT AND FISHING THE SAME PLACES BUT I WAS CATCHING FISHING AND HE WAS JUST CASTING. THE DIFFERENCE WAS KICKNBASS. THIS STUFF IS THE BEST SCENT YOU CAN BUY...
I was turned onto your product about three months ago by Eddie Roberts, a local pro. I have seen a tremendous increase in the number and quality of fish I catch. I fish a lot of local tournaments as well as being a member of a local club, and using Kick'n Bass has improved my standings.
I recently carried my wife fishing at a local state park to do some white-perch fishing. I tied on a small bettle- spin to rip across the grass beds, which I have had good results in doing before. I decided to use Kick'n Bass on the bettle spin and on the third cast caught a 4.5 lb bass. I caught several more bass and some very large white-white. I believe that your product was the reason for the number and quality of those fish. It's a fantastic product that will always be in my tackle-box.
Caught a 6.5lb (measured on Berkley scale) largemouth at Saguaro Lake on Thursday. I saw the fish cruising the shoreline while throwing a chartreuse spinnerbait. After a few unsuccessful casts I made a return trip, gave the blade a double dose of KNB and "tap". It's amazing how lightly a big bass can take the bait. I caught a large cat (7+) last week (using KNB garlic on spinnerbait) that tried to take the rod out of my hand when it hit. bait.
At a major Bass Fishing Tournament last December in Alabama, I noticed many of the pro anglers sporting a Kick n' Bass logo on their shirts and boats. Since I have never won or placed in a Bass Fishing Tournament before (I've only been Bass Fishing for one year now), I decided to purchase some Kick n' Bass to see if it would help me catch more fish against the local pros here in Florida on Lake Okeechobee. Not only did Kick n' Bass help me catch more quality fish, I believe Kick n' Bass is the reason I am now celebrating my very first 2nd Place victory against anglers that usually bring in those huge limits to the weigh-in scales. I couldn't believe it (and neither did they hahaha) when all I did was spray your fish attractant on my topwater lures and WHAM-O, I caught Bass after Bass during a time these local pros termed a "tough bite". Well it wasn't a tough fishing' day for me because I had my secret weapon, Kick n' Bass Fish Attractant ! So..Thanks for the assist !
Jimmy and I grew up together in NJ in the 1960's, now he is in Fld and I'm in AZ. Thanks Jim. Cosmic>
This is the first time I've used Kick n Bass. We head to the lake around 11 in the morning. It was me and my friend and my little cousin who loves bassin. They were using minnows and I was using Kick n Bass . Fished for a few hours and I caught nothing . They both caught two dinks. Your product really has the strongest scent I've ever smelled. I will continue to use it.
Just thought I would add my experiences with your Kick'n Bass Garlic. I carry both Craw and Garlic on board but I must admit that 99% of the time I use the Garlic. Nothing goes over the side that is not scented and what comes back to the boat is more bass. As my reports indicate for my area my catches are usually quite good and a great deal of my success is due to your product. Keep up the good work! George Imagination Bassin Port St Lucie, Florida
I fished the first week of March 1999 up at Clearlake California, fishing with my uncle. We were catching so many catfish in the 2-4lb range using Kick N' Bass fish attractant. That is nothing new to me because I have caught other monster fish using Kick N'Bass including a 12lb 8 oz rainbow trout at Contra Loma Lake in Antioch, CA. Anyway, the catfish were chewing on thumbs and we couldn't hold the fish. I told my uncle about these red lib grippers that I had received as a sample from my friend and best bud-Greg Van Steenkiste. We put them on our left thumbs and it made the entire difference in our fishing experience. We no longer had the catfish chewing on our thumbs and fingers; no longer did we have to struggle to get the fish in the bucket. We caught 75 catfish in two days. I love Scientific Bass Products! Thank you for giving me better fishing experiences in the great outdoors! Roy S.Hendricks Antioch, Ca.
Ken, What a product! I have never had a scent that would hold on to the bait like this one. My wife told me to put the poles outside because of the smell. What I like about Kick'n' bass is not only does it help catch fish, you don't run through bottles very fast which saves money for the angler. Good job Johnny Johnson (Host of Settin' the Hook T.V. show in Arizona..)
I have been fishing Lake Fork for the last 10 yrs..,on 3-9-99 I fished on Fork and had little success..,after lunch I remembered I had purchased the garlic scent and went of to fish some deep road bed..,well on the very first cast I had a hit like I never had before..,I didn't land the fish thinking it had broke my line..,as I was reeling in the line the bass jumped out of the water..,apparently thinking it was still hooked. It must of been tasting the garlic scent in it's mouth and thought it was still hooked. The best I can judge the bass was over 10 lbs..,and looking at my lure I could see why it got off, it had straighten out both treble hooks. Kick n Bass Garlic scent really made me a believer, I went on to catch 15 bass all on the same lure and scent.
Kick'n Bass Garlic scent works on Crappie pretty well. On 2/28/99 we fished below Horseshoe Dam and we caught a bunch of really nice Crappie. As the scent seemed to wear off, the bite seemed to slow down. So each time that happened, we sprayed our jigs with Garlic and the bite picked right up. Usually got bit on the very next cast. We averaged 2 lb crappie and some up to 2.75 lbs.
We'll try it again next time.
Fished Roosevelt on 2-14-99 and used Kick'n Bass for the first time. I've fished this lake often this winter and caught lots of fish. But mostly all unders. Large minnow size if you know what I mean. Well anyway, I would say at least 70% of the fish I caught were larger including 4 overs and 6 or 7 slot fish. Only had 3 unders. Not sure if it's the law of average or this stuff really works? I intend to try it again.
Got back from Lake El Salto, Mazatlan Mexico two weeks ago. Myself and 5 other friends fished for 4.5 days. We didn't catch the quantity of largemouth we usually expect, but the size of the fish were generally larger. Anyway, sprayed garlic scent kicknbass on all my spinnerbaits before we left. Yes they were in a Ziploc bag. Our guide the first day on the water reached into the bag and removed one of my spinnerbaits. He really didn't get a whiff of the garlic on the spinnerbait until he touched his face. I had to tie my own spinnerbaits the rest of the trip. The scent stayed on and on and on. Never resprayed my lures the rest of the trip. The largemouth inhaled the garlic scent lures. I will definitely be using the kicknbass garlic scent on my lures when fishing here in California. By the way, I thought they were going to make me leave my tackle box at the Mazatlan airport. The smell from the kicknbass lasted a little to long. My buddies almost made me travel in the luggage compartment. Sincerely, Doug Holcomb, a first time user, soon to be an abuser of your great product
Just about any bait that you buy has a factory smell take a bait out of the bag or take your hard bait out of the cardboard package. Smell it and you will see that it has a factory smell. If you can smell it you know that a fish with the scenes that they have can smell it. but when you use Kick'n bass you won't have the smell . Your catch will increase . Kick'n bass will cover up the tar on your hands if you smoke and it will cover all smells that you the fisherman have on your hands.
I was fishing with a Tantrum spinner bait doctored with scent the water was 44 degrees and the only fish I caught was a 3lb 11oz. bass . I have to say Kick'n bass is the only sent I will use. Tony Gunderson
My name is Mark Hammonds and I am Professional Guide and Tournament Angler. I can tell you from experience that having an "edge" when fishing, is very important. My "edge" was found in Kick'n Bass fish attractants. A couple of years ago I began Guiding on a full time basis. I spent a lot of time in Outdoors Unlimited in Arlington, Texas, sharing fishing' stories. Bill told me one day that there was this new product that he was carrying that seemed to be pretty effective. At that time I was skeptical as to the quality of fish attractants, for I had used virtually every one made and could not see any positive results. But being open minded I took a sample of the product and what transpired made a believer out of me. On my next trip to Richland Chambers I applied the product to my soft plastic Carolina Rig and the results were amazing. I caught twice as many fish in all my areas. The fish seemed to be inhaling the baits and allowing me to more time to recognize bites and not miss fish. This is especially good for those clients that do not recognize every strike that occurs. It makes all of their strikes aggressive ones. Since that sample bottle, I absolutely do not go fishing, guide trip or tournament, without Kick'n Bass somewhere in the boat. My suggestion to you is, if you like an edge over the rest of the field, utilize Kick'n Bass and let it do the work.
I have used a lot of scents over the years, but Kick n Bass really works and helps me put fish in the boat. Fishing is tough enough, but the attractant it makes the difference between catching and not catching. Last summer when it was 100+ degrees my five year old grand-daughter Lauren wanted to go fishing. So we went to Lake Arlington and fished off the bank with live worms. We were there for a couple of hours. It was really too hot to be there and I suggested that we go home, but she just wanted to keep fishing. A few couples with their kids came by and we asked how they had been doing and they all said nothing was biting. I had taken a bottle of Garlic Kick 'n Bass along with us, so I suggested to Lauren that we spray some of the worms, "OK papa" ,she said. As soon as it hit the water, she caught a perch about the size of your hand. She said," put some more Kick 'n Bass on!! The next cast she had, she caught another one. From then on to everybody that came by, she would tell them she was catching fish using Kick 'n Bass. My point is, it works! Fish are getting smarter these days. If you haven't tried it, you should. Kick 'n Bass is no gimmick, it works.

I write an outdoor column for a local publication and am a licensed guide on Joe Pool Lake here in Texas. I have used scents for a long time and have used KicknBass since it was first introduced here in Texas. This is THE BEST--bar none-- on the market today! I could go on and on with stories, but let me tell you two from this fall---
On a trip to Lake Fork under some pretty miserable conditions, I was using a spinnerbait with little success. I sprayed the bait with Kick'n Bass, and slowed down my retrieve. I caught several fish in a row(four while my two partners caught nothing!) but the most fun was a cast where the fish kept hitting the bait--a total of four times-before inhaling it. When we brought the 7 lber in, we noticed she was blind in one eye! No doubt about it, that fish was caught by the KNB smell!
The second trip was at Joe Pool under miserable conditions--yet my son and I had great success(saw no other fish caught by anyone that day) by pitching 4 inch black power worms soaked in Kick'n Bass and dead sticking the bait in heavy cover. We wound up with several nice fish using this technique under very adverse conditions. If I can help you with techniques or help you with Joe Pool Lake, call me at 817-468-4132 or email me at rrdonnel@onramp.net .
I have been fishing in a local fun club for about ten years. Myself and a friend decided to fish a open tournament put on by a local federation club. The areas top fisherman are in this club. Due to the drought in the east the lake (Smith Mt.) was about 6ft. low. This is early dec. and the weather was still in the upper 60's to lower 70's. So the fishing fever was still in us. I had been using "Bang" spray all morning and had caught 2 dinks by 11:30. My partner and I made a move and I started to use "Kick'n bass" on our jig-n-pig. In the next 2 hours we put 5 keeper fish in the boat and 1 was big fish of the tournament weighing 5.54lbs. The way the fish were picking up the jigs and holding on I believe was due to the "Kick'n bass". I haved switched to crawfish and garlic for all my future tournaments. Thanks for the great products.
Have kind of a funny story too tell. Went on Fun fishing trip on Lake Tenkiller here in Northeast Okla. last weekend fishing for Spotted Bass. I pulled up on one of my favorite Banks to find a couple of guys already there. looked as if they were inside of point headed into the cove off of this Bank. so I stated to fish down the Bank the other way from them on the Main lake side. They started to complain about me being there. I said I was going the other way from them not to worry. The guy in back said who cares the fish are not biting anyway. Now I am putting my K&B in a Plastic freezer Bag, I have found this works for me very well. All I have to do is just swing my Bait over and drop into the Bag squeeze the outside of bag no mess, no spill, drop the bag down in boat and go on Fishing the stuff sticks to the inside of the Bag works real well. Sure save trying to get the darn stuff off my white Boat. Now back to story as these guys was complaining I douse my Watermelon french fry into the Bag pitch next a big Rock and bang first fish not a big one but a fish. next douse into the Bag a pitch into rocks another fish this one a little better. Guys this happen Five times in a row before I made a pitch without a Fish.I was getting excited myself but wait I was by this time several feet away from you know who and you know how sound carries on water. I could hear about everything they said. I could tell the Guy in Front was not a happy camper at all and the guy in the back of the Boat kept Hollering !He got another one what's the deal!!. Finally the Guy in Front had about all he could stand of his buddy in back he said !Shut Up BO, I don't give a Dam about his Fish What I want to know WHAT"s he's got in that Dam BAG! I like to fell out of the Boat the way he said it. So I said hey guys I am not trying to be smart OK but you look like you could use some help I said here and I trolled over and gave them the bottle I was using From. WE talk about it and told the where I got mine and went on my way.
I just wanted to say that Kenny, you have one heck of a product. Yesterday at the WON tournament I saw quite a few tournament anglers weighing in with small bags and numerous anglers with only one or two fish. Wish I had fished this tournament. I was using a Watermelon Zoom Lizard and Kick'n' Bass. I caught and released well over a limit of fish that would have put me in the top 1/4 of the pack on the first day. This tournament was at Lake Pleasant and from many of people I heard all week that the lake has been really tough. Well not for me and my Kick'n' Bass. Thank you Kenny

I'm not the type of person to believe the hype about the new lure that catches tons of fish, or the new scent that can turn you into a professional fisherman overnight. But there is no doubt that this stuff works, I use the crawfish scent, and since I started using it, I went from being a decent fisherman in my club to being the top 6 champion. This stuff works!
I can't say either scent is all that much better as far as the bass are concerned but man do the catfish like the stuff. Caught a 12+ pounder on a four inch lizard in a bass tournament and numerous other cats at unexpected moments while fishing for bass. By the way, can I buy this stuff by the gallon to save on the packaging cost (bulk discount)????
thanks

Just a note to tell you that I used the Garlic formula of Kick n' Bass this past weekend and won the first annual Pro Bass Tournament on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes in Florida. I also won Big Bass, too. I was flipping plastic baits to Kissimmee grass and caught all of my fish this way. My baits were sprayed with the garlic formula because I have been unable to obtain the Crawfish formula, which is what I probably would have preferred. However, the garlic worked great. My big bass hit so lightly that I gave her pressure before realizing I had a fish on.....I think she held onto the bait due to the garlic taste. I also found that one little squirt was all I needed. I checked the bait after about 30 mins. of flipping and you could still smell the garlic very easily! I'd really like to try the Crawfish formula of Kick n' Bass because, if it's anything like the garlic, Moby Dick may succumb to my flipped baits!!
Thank You,

I have been fishing Joe Pool lake here in Texas since it opened, and almost exclusively for the past five years(with the exception of a few trips each year to our other great Texas lake, Lake Fork.) I'm a licensed guide on the lake, submit regular Joe Pool fishing reports on the Bass Fishing Home Page and recently joined the staff of Outdoor Times as a staff member responsible for a monthly column about Joe Pool. I've always believed in scents, but am really impressed with your Kick'n Bass product. I've used nothing else since your product hit the market and I'm absolutely convinced it has made a big difference in both the number of bites and my bite/catch ratio. Keep up the good work!

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YA'LL BUT THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN SUPER HOT & THE FISHING HAS NOT !!!!!!!! BUT THANKS TO Kick'n BASS I HAVE NOT ONLY BEEN ABLE TO PUT FISH IN THE BOAT BUT ALSO MONEY IN MY POCKET !!!! THANK YOU SCIENTIFIC BASS FOR SUCH A TRULY FINE PRODUCT !!!!!!!
I am totally impressed with how long the attractant stays on the lure after it has been applied. It doesn't seem to take very much either In fishing several tournaments on the ABA circuit, I have consistently outfished my partner in the same boat. The only difference in what we are using has been the Kick'n Bass Attractant vs. the "paste type" that he is using. You have made a believer out of me and I'll be happy to recommend your product to anyone who isn't fishing against me in a tourney.

I am a pro staff for Kick'n Bass and this product allowed me to catch a HAUG on Richland Chambers TX a 9.9 oz.largemouth. This product is a god sent and I am proud to be part of their team. This scent will increase my winnings on the tour. I also like the other products they have and am looking forward to trying them. THANK YOU KICK'N BASS.

Subject: Re: promoting Kick'n BassI was talking about KNB. Honestly, I had heard of KNB since I have been around the fishing industry for about 12 years. I really started using a competitors formula called Bang. Bang is a decent product but I could never get the scent to reside on plastics and jigs like I wanted them to. I have a ritual that I go through with my plastics that almost can impregnate the scent into the plastic. After about thirty minutes however, using BANG I was always re-applying the spray. I met a guy from Louisiana who is a weekend angler in the airport and he had told me that I should try some KNB. Well, like most fisherman I was a little hesitant, but as it turned out I was EXTREMELY impressed! The formula that your company uses works great for my applications and I have been telling all of my fishing co-harts to change to KNB if they weren't using it. But to answer your question I would like an opportunity to be able to apply or join the team. I am curious to see what I would need to do to be "qualified" Thanks Mike Rose

I took my 18 year old son fishing at Possum Kingdom Lake one day fishing the edge of a
grass bed with Carolina rigs. He not only caught nearly every fish caught that day, he
caught an unusually heavy limit for this lake. Not known to me at the time, he was using
Berkley Power lizards that I had soaked with Kick'n Bass® some time ago. I had received a
few samples of the product and had applied the samples to a 100 count bag of these
lizards. Even though Dad was not catching fish, Dad was not about to use the same bait as
his son, old Dad just knew he could catch those fish on another bait. I caught fish
alright, not keepers and certainly not as many. Later I went fishing by myself and
was doing just about as well as the previous time, when I remembered the baits my son was
using. He was not in the boat now so I figured it was OK to use the HIS baits. Immediately
upon opening that bag of lizards I knew full well that it was not the bait but the scent.
I had completely forgotten that I had scented that and only that bag. Needless to say, I
caught a few fish that day. Prior to the next fishing trip, I found a couple more
samples that I had stuffed in a box and put on a shelf behind the boat. I took those
samples and back to the lake I went. The water was beginning to cool and the fishing was
much better than the previous trips. I was fishing a hump with a small grass bed on the
outside edge next to a drop off. I was getting a bite on every cast but was only catching
a fish every now and then. It was time for the samples. I was using a Zoom watermelon
centipede of which I had several bags. I opened a brand new bag of these baits and applied
the two remaining sample tubes. The first cast with the scented bait resulted in a fish as did
the next six casts. Seven casts, seven fish. I put on another centipede, this one was not
scented, five casts later not one fish and only one peck. I tore that bait off and put on
another scented bait. Five more casts to the same spot resulted in five more fish. That
was enough for me. After using Kick'n Bass extensively for the past two years, I have
found that if the bass are biting, the person using this product will definitely catch
more fish. If the fish are being contrary, the person using Kick' n Bass will not get any
more bites, but the fish will hold on to the baits longer in order to get a good hookset.
This product works just as well on hard baits and spinnerbaits.
Thanks for a great product!

Subject: My Testimonial
Ken, Hope you had a safe trip back to Baton Rouge. What follows is my
testimonial that you requested. I have already completed the Pro-Staff
Agreement and have placed it in the mail to you. I went ahead and ordered a
couple of "The Works" hats from Rodney. As soon as I can get my shirt deal
worked out, hopefully this next week, I'll get you a picture with me in my
tournament shirt/hat/holding a bass. The picture will be E-mailable.
Through the years I've sort of toyed around with scents, not having
much success while using them. Every time a new one would come out I would try it and
find that either it was too weak, or that it made a huge mess on my boat because I was
always applying more, or that the end of the aerosol can either broke or would fall
off. Then I found Kick'n Bass. This stuff just flat out works. It
gives me a huge confidence boost just knowing I've sprayed it on my lure, due to
the success I've had while using it. I just finished qualifying for the Redman
Regional and have to thank Kick'n Bass for that. I and my partner had fished all
day without any strikes, until I tied on a Rippler Jig and sprayed on some Kick'n
Bass. I immediately caught two bass, which was enough for me to go to the
regionals.
That was several days ago. Today I took my wife out, pulled my flipping stick out
and that jig still smells like KNB. That's some strong stuff. Whether I'm fishing a
tournament or just fishing for fun, I'll always have Kick'n Bass with me. My
sponsors are Kick'n Bass, The Rod Bob, T-N-T Marine, Rippler Lures, SnakeBite Custom Hand
Poured Soft Plastics I'll be in touch. Jeff Roberts

Subject: KNB
Ken:
I tried my first dose of KNB this weekend. Admittedly, I'm a skeptic. I have
been tournament fishing for 10 years and have seen all manner of "whiz-bang" new
products come and go. I have used various scents on occasion and know that they can
make a difference. One locally made scent, Kodiak, has been one of the best I have
found and have used it to catch bass when flipping behind other guys. The best scent
I ever used, back when they first came out, was Mann's Blackberry Jelly Worm Oil mixed
with original Fish Formula. Anyway, I was impressed with the volume and vigor with which
BFHP participants were endorsing KNB. I finally broke down and bought a bottle of
the crawfish, after talking to LedHed.
Two things are readily apparent. KNB Crawfish smells HORRIBLE and the bass LOVE
it!!! I tried some systematic tests, fishing a tube in my best areas without KNB and
then throwing it back into the same areas with KNB. Ain't no question, KNB works!!!
It is like catnip, but for bass!
It is as close as I have come to catching
bass, where they ain't! I'm convinced that it he's there, he'll bite with KNB.
For a marketing tactic, you might consider putting together a tournament anglers
kit: A bottle of KNB, a gas mask, and a culling beam. Package it with the
slogan: "To a bass it smells like food (sex!), to a tournament angler, it
smells like MONEY! I have several big tourneys in the next few weeks. KNB will be on
my lures, but well hidden from my competitors!

First off I want everyone to know that I don't believe in products like this or much of anything that promises me more fish, most things are to easy to explain such as more sensitive rods, better action, different lures, and just plain better fishermen or fisherpersons, until now. keep in mind that I believed that a lure invades a fish's area and it hits for food or reaction regardless of scent. I had some of the samples and finally found a "fair" test . My wife wanted to go with me and see what the fuss was about. after I showed her how to cast.... at the lake, (see the "fairness" coming out) and baited her hook with the plastic worm, out of the same bag as mine only I added the sent to HER worm and told her to cast were I did and put her in the BACK of the boat (fair enough). Now I didn't get to fish as hard as I usually do, had to get her line out of the trees , tie new hooks on but when she fished I fished, still a fair test,,,,,to me. to cut to the chase I caught 1 fish and she caught 2 but that's not counting the 7 or 8 she lost at the boat because she didn't know to set the hook or what the bite felt like. I realize that you say the way to get the stuff off is in the rain but what I got it on me or the tackle lasted through a small rain that night and several times of washing at the lake and at home, to me that means this stuff wont wash away on the first cast , now I believe thanks, Phillip Hall,Wise VA

3.8/10/99 12:41:00 PM Buck
Creek Rod and Reel Repair from INDIANA says Convinced myself again this
weekend
Let me start out by saying that since I sell Kick'n Bass I know my opinion seems biased. I
fished a tournament this weekend and practiced 2 days prior. In the 2 days prior to the
tournament I only had a couple of bites and did not hook a single fish. Went out for the
tournament and went to the same area since I was so confident there was fish there. After
I had wormed a little stretch of bank I realized I had not used my Kick'n Bass. I had
fished the 2 days of practice and the first hour of the tournament and had not poured a
drop! 3 casts after I soaked my worm in the garlic scent I caught a 3 pound bass.
Over the
course of the day I caught several short fish, and due to my trying to hurry another 3
pound class fish on light line, I lost another good fish at the boat. Now going to the
weigh in with only one fish does not sound like much but the one fish I weighed came in
29th out of 61. With the one I lost I would have been in the top 10. I am very confident
in the fact that Kick'n Bass was the reason my weekend turned around. You can bet your
best crankbait that I won't go without using it again.

4.8/10/99 2:33:00 PM Derrick (152.163.197.182) from TEXAS says Kickin' Bass I was
pre-fishing for a tournament last summer with my cousin. We were both throwing the same
exact jigs on identical outfits but he was kicking my !@$. I threw to the same cover he
threw too and never got a bite. He hooked a very large fish and broke off so he re-rigged.
When he had re-rigged, I noticed that he pulled a little bottle from his bag and squirted his lure. He
had been using this little bottle of garlic stuff the whole day. I asked for a squirt
and
two casts later hooked a nice 3lber. Ended up catching several more nice sized fish. That
little bottle turned out to be Kick'n Bass and buddy I don't leave the house without it!
1.8/1/99 9:47:00 AM Randy (209.156.162.71) from NEW JERSEY says Don't waste your money (on KNB) I have both and tried both and have never caught a fish while I was using it.
2.8/1/99 11:38:00 AM TroyJ (205.188.193.169) from ALABAMA says Saltcraws and KNB I love a texas rigged saltcraw for smallies. Especially at night. I was never a big believer in scents until the last couple of years when buddy's using garlic scents on their salt craws and jigs got a lot more bites then I did using the same baits. It seemed to make the most difference in deep water and especially on smallmouth and spots. I now spray some KNB garlic in the bags of my soft plastics and let it soak in. I fish a jig a lot and keep KNB on them as well. I fish very simple and don't keep stuff around that I feel is not going to produce. I may be fooled, but I think the scents do help.
5.8/1/99 1:15:00 PM Hooker (152.163.207.187) from TENNESSEE says Knb Well I think it gets
down to a confidence thing with scents,,, some believe,,, some don't,,,,I my self
believe,,,,KNB is as good as any other scent on the market,,, when the bite is tough I
reach for it,,,Real Craw and smelly jelly are widely used around here,,, they are about the
only ones we can get locally,,,, I have all 3 with me when I go fishin,,,
so like I said when the bite is tough
I reach for the KNB,,,,something different they have not smelled before on the same baits
everyone else is using,,,good luck,,,,,,,Gone Fishin/Gotta Luv It
6.8/1/99 3:18:00 PM Rick La Point - Chauffeured Guide Service from MISSOURI says I wonder
All I can say is scent doesn't hurt your chances. As a matter of fact with all my
experience as a professional fishing guide I think it helps you chances especially when
applied to slow moving baits.
7.8/1/99 10:38:00 PM Greg (63.72.94.167) from ILLINOIS says Knb I've used KNB . It works but kind of pricey here. Real Craw works just as well and much cheaper. Any Garlic scent you can get smells the same and just as good. We don't have any other Garlic scent available here that I know of except what's already cooked in the baits. I'll bet there will be more options available soon as the demand is there.
8.8/1/99 11:18:00 PM T-Ball (208.131.227.152) from KENTUCKY
says Kick n' Bass On numerous occasions KNB has saved my trip. I spray the garlic on every
plastic I throw except Berkley products. I use it on every super fluke I throw.
The craw
scent is awesome on your jigs. All garlic scents are not the same and we have proved it
time and time again. As far as cost, you get what you pay for. Most guys that complain
about 5 or 6 dollars own a 30,000.00 boat. You should buy 2 bottles of each and use
it!!!!! T-Ball
9.8/2/99 7:49:00 AM roadtoad (207.71.218.85) from CALIFORNIA says KnB It works for us. If
you're not catching fish using it, I suggest moving the boat to where the fish are, or
reconsider your technique.
10.8/2/99 1:34:00 PM Triton Mike (205.188.197.53) from
MISSISSIPPI says Ditto Hooker and Troy J...I have to admit I have used quite a bit of
scents in the past and Kick N Bass is definitely a cut above. Like Hooker and Troy said it
is something different. Kick N Bass is not widely available here in MS. I dosed a whole jig
in the bottle of Kick N Bass and on the next cast caught a nice 3lber. Can't say it hurts..
Hey Cosmic hope ya had a good time at the Classic. Wish I could have went.

Kick-n-Bass is the closest thing to a majic lure that I've found!
I received my first bottle in the mail Friday. Needless to say, I was really excited about
trying it
during my Sunday fishing trip. I went to a lake that I've fished about 20 times in the
last 15 years. In 15 years I've NEVER caught a LM on this
lake (amazing eh?!). I knew there
were largemouth in there, I just couldn't catch 'em! I got to the lake early and decided I
wanted to pitch a jig into the shoreline cover for starters. I fished for about 2 hours
with NO BITES. Then.....I remembered that bottle of Kick-n-Bass (crawfish) that I just
got. First cast after putting K-n-B on that jig, I boated a 2 pounder pitching to the
shoreline cover. Not much to brag about, but hey, this is the FIRST BASS I've caught on
this lake in 15 years! The bite didn't stop after that either. In the next 2 hours I
boated 4 LM between 2-4lbs/14-20". Needless to say, I was really excited about it.
IMHO K-n-B really makes a difference! From now on I won't be fishing without it!

It's odd,.. here in South West Washington, most lakes contain largemouth in them and yet...
everyone fishes for trout...(almost everyone in my area anyways) I've actually had
largemouth go after trout I have hooked.. and also.. have caught largemouth
"accidently" using trout lures... Coincidently, someone at work.. just gave me a
couple of bottles of Kick'n bass and one of kick'n trout as well... And, was just
curious... any suggested uses.. I am Like you used to be Cosmic.. confident in
crankbaits.. but.. slowly switching to plastics... Curious what you recommend with Kick
n' Bass?? plastics cranks, etc? Fished with Castaic cranks this weekend.. but took the
big "0"? Trying again soon of course... :)
3.7/28/99 11:24:00 AM boatboy (208.16.31.99) from ALABAMA says use it on
everything....best on plastics IMHO....Last weekend I did best with KnB on a Jig
& Pig (plastic pork imitation trailer) and on plastic tube baits. I personally use
attractants only on plastics (worms, craws, flukes, grubs etc.), as I don't want my
crankers getting all oily and making a mess in my tackle box. Plastic baits usually get
tossed at the end of the fishing day so they don't get a chance to make a mess. ....but I
wouldn't hesitate to say that KnB will most likely work great on crankbaits. Just clean
'em off pretty well before boxin' 'em back up!

3.8/1/99 2:45:00 AM Frank Z. (209.232.0.3) from CALIFORNIA says Kickin Bass saved my
life!!!!
Here's a Kickin Bass story that I swear is 100 percent true! I was fishing this little
lake in Guanajuato Mexico and staying in this little village that didn't have hot water.
Anyways...wierd things started happening. The family that I was staying with were poor
farmers who had a number of livestock....cows, sheep, a few donkeys. We heard these wierd
howling at night and the animals
put up quite a ruckus. These sounds were creepy....so creepy, we dared not go outside. The
next morning we discovered that one cow and a sheep were dead.... every ounce of blood had
been drained from their bodies. They looked more like furry sacks than bodies. We looked
them over and found these wierd bite marks on their necks. Needless to say, the family
members freaked out. We learned later that afternoon, two children from a neighboring
village had mysteriously disappeared.
Their were a number of goat tracks in the general vicinity where the kids disappeared and
nobody in the town owned goats. The villagers concluded that this was the work of the
dreaded CHUPACABRA.....or loosely translated... the Vampire Goat Sucker!!! I laughed
heartily when I heard this explanation. "Awww, that's just a bunch of modern day
folklore pure and simple", I said to myself. I mean, how could people believe in that
crap. I'm about as skeptical as they come. Anyways, the villagers would not set foot
outside once the sun set, but me, heck I only had a few days left, and the best bite was
at dusk. One evening, the bite was on fire...at dusk and beyond. Needless to say I stayed
on well after dark. The moon was full and visibility was great. Then out of nowhere I
heard this eerie, creepy howl unlike anything I had ever heard. I heard this fluttering
sound and turned around to see this thing hovering over me, silouetted against the full
moon. It was horrible...with fiery red eyes, ram-like horns, big ugly bat wings and
horrible fangs. It looked like some kind of foul smelling gargoyle. It hovered over me for
a while than lunged down at me and tried to grab at me. I instinctively ducked and gave it
a good swat with my rod as it flew by. It then began to circle me, screeching this
horrible screech. I knew I was in for it now. I was no match for this demon Chupacabra
hungry for human blood. Then it hit me...KNB Garlic. I had a bottle of KNB Garlic!! I
grabbed it and as the beast swooped down upon me I moved to the side and gave it a sqirt.
It howled out in pain and then crashed into the water, smoking from the garlic mist. I hit
the trolling motor and pulled up to it struggling in the water!! The KNB was burning it
alive. I
quickly unscrewed the cap and poured the rest of the bottle onto it as it struggled. Phew
I thought, as the thing quivered in garlic agony. I thought that was that, then I heard
this splashing sound. Bass were bustin this ugly creature, like it was shad or something.
Soon there was a frenzy of bass surrounding the dreaded Chupacabra...it reminded me of
footage I've seen of pirahnas stripping a horse to the bone in the Amazon. Well, I'd just
like to say, "Thanks Kickin' Bass, you saved my life!". The villagers are also
greatful. Heck, they were so greatful to me for killing the darn thing, they threw a huge
fiesta and presented me with their village mascot, some kind of talking hairless
Chihuahua. I graciously accepted, but that was one ugly dog, so I gave it to some add
exec. I met who was also fishing the lake.

tournaments. Currently I sit in 4th place through the current standings thanks to
your product, and yes...it feels good to have that Kick N' Bass "edge" over the
Florida Boys. So.. my question is...."Should I tell my Club buddies about your
Kick N' bass...or is it proper to keep it as my very own SECRET WEAPON?
Confused but catching loads of fish in Florida! I remain, Jim.

> Dear Ken, Roger Sutterfield introduced me to Kick'n Bass about 2 months
ago. As most bass fisherman I was susceptible about the product. I am one of
those show me not tell me how a product works. Well much to my surprise, the
product works... and works well. I had been previously using another products
Garlic sent and decided to do a little test. I put 10 baits into 2 separate
ziplock bags. I put my old sent in one bag, and Kick'n Bass in the
other. Put them into the microwave for about 30-45 seconds then sealed the
bags. The next day while pre-fishing for the Redman my pre-fishing partner
tried the bag with my old product and I (of course) tried the bag with Kick'n Bass
sent. It didn't take long to prove to my buddy that Kick'n Bass out performed
the other product. Not only did it out perform the other, but it last so much
longer. I am able to apply it to my hard plastic baits, and by the end of the day
the product is still there. Thanks Greg Ingram Skeeter State Team, Kick'n
Bass Pro Staff. Owasso, Ok.

Ken and Greg this is Johnny Harrison with Coleto Creek Tackle and Guide Service and I am a Pro Staffer for ya`ll too. I just wanted to tell you that the blue and red hats we got are a great hit and everyone wants one just like it. Sure would like to purchase a few more! Maybe you ought to make them available to the public, they are really sharp. I give credit to the person that came up with that hat idea! A good shirt with that hat would really be an asset to us in the field. I also wanted to let you know that you have a great product and I would never let another lure hit the water without Kick'n bass on it. It has helped me and my brother win hundreds of dollars every month. I sell it to every client before we leave my tackle store on a guide trip ,but if they don't buy it before the trip they always buy it after!!!!!!! :) I appreciate you letting me and my brother represent such a great company and hope to see it grow to be a giant in the industry.

Ken--Happened to meet you at the Mesquite (Texas) tackle show earlier this year--I have been fishing Kicknbass for over 2 years and have really been successful. I have tried many of the other scents, but have found this to be the best yet-- I believe it has definitely helped me catch larger fish this past year. I fish Lake Ray Roberts here in North Texas and find that when the bite is really tough, Kick'n bass will help put some bass in the boat--I have convinced several of my fishin' friends to also convert to Kicknbass. I am hearing now that several of the local guides on RR are now pushing the scent and was surprised to learn that I had been using it this long without hearing about it. (I think alot of these guys were keeping it under their hat!)--Good fishin'--Gary Sims

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for
making an incredible product. A short time ago a close friend who I have fished with for
the last three years, turned me onto your product and I have used it ever since. To begin
with he used another brand attractant, and was getting
pounded by me when we fished jigs.
My friend was then introduced to your product (garlic scented) and I then began to get
pounded. I truly believe that the results he began to enjoy were due your product,
needless to say I use the product now. The strikes, we receive now seem to be more
aggressive strikes and the fish does no seem to want to let go. I have caught fish while
slow retrieving a jig back to the boat to make another cast and believe it was entirely
due to your product. Thanks again for a fantastic product.

Hello Cosmic:
I would like to report fishing my first major tournament of the year even though it is the
middle of June already. I fished Lake Vandalia this past weekend in a D.A.R.E.
benefit open tournament. There were 76 boats and I must humbly say I kicked butt
using Kick n Bass. Not only did I take first place, plus big bass honors, but
I was informed a set a new lake record for a 5 bass limit. My total weight for the
day was an impressive 26.92 pounds. I had 3 fish over 6 pounds. They were
weighed individually because of not being able to tell which was the largest. There weight
was 6.47, 6.36, and 6.19 pounds. I also had a bass that I would estimate at a little
over 5 pounds and another that was a good 3 1/2 pounds. I realize that is no record
in some of the southern waters, but it is a tremendous creel in the northern states.
All fish came in water depths from 15 to 20 feet and using those old homemade jigs
with zoom super chunk trailers and liberally doused down with Kick n Bass Garlic. I
was able to get you some good media exposure. I was wearing my hat and shirt you
furnished and pictures were taken for the local paper and also the reporter took a verbal
for a right up and I plugged the kick n bass for making the deciding difference. I
also informed the fishermen present that the only local outlet for the product was Big
Bear Track and Tackle in Effingham which I previously got set up for you. I would again
like to thank you for all you have done for me and the fine product you are producing.
If I can do anything else, please let me know. If you wish to use any part of
this letter for your home page, please feel free to do so. It has all been
documented and a new sign at the Vandalia Lake Marine will be listed as the new tournament
5 fish weight record. Hope this finds you in good health, and hopefully I can get back to
devoting a little more time to fishing now that things are settling down. You just
keep making the magic juice and I will keep cashing the checks.
Your friend - Larry

KicknBass,
The name grabs your attention, the tug on your line keeps it.
Last Sunday I was fishing at Enid Lake in Mississippi and happen across a angler by the
name of Jim Clark, he was pre-fishing for an upcoming event. To make a long story short
the only good bite was on a "Rig" and that wasn't great, Jim suggested I try a
scent I had not heard of "Kick'n Bass". Jim put some in a plastic bag and
just for the hell of it I tried it, the bite went from a light tap to RIP THE ROD FROM MY
HAND, I have never been a big fan of attractants none seem to work as promoted but now I
have two bottles of Garlic and two bottle of Crawfish and hope none of my competition
learns of your product. Thanks for help me Kick some Bass, Tom Sweeney, Memphis, TN
Ken, Not yet. Maybe today.
Fished an open tournament over the weekend and I
finished in second place. Using Kicknbass enable me also to get big fish of the the
tourney. Got on an underwater hump and I stroked them. It was a tough bite for a lot of
people. I ended up with 16+ pounds. Just a little over 17+ pounds won. Just could not get
the one under two pounds culled. Got a check for almost as much money as first. Thanks for
making a superior product.
Off to fish the WON pro-am on the Delta this weekend. Hope to do well. Angel
Ken,
Last weekend my father-in-law and I were fishing on Lake Cooper Texas and found the fish!
We started out fishing with jigs sprayed with the garlic Kick-n-bass and switched
to soft plastics. Lots of medium fish were caught that day until 5:00 P.M.
My father-in-law pitched over to a laydown with a crawworm sprayed with Kick-n-bass
and set the hook on a 12.03 pound
largemouth!
We talked with several people that day on the lake and found that only a handful of people
were catching anything. I firmly believe that the KNB was the trick for us that day!
Keep on making such a fine product!
Keep your hooks sharp,
Charlie Taylor

Subject: Thanks for the correctionCosmic,
Thanks for reprinting my report on quickness. I just returned from the Eastern Sierra's on June 4, 1999. I fished at Crowley Lake and I took along the Kickn'Bass and the Kickn'Trout scent. If you recall the very first year I tried Kickn'Bass, I didn't get any significant results. In my last report I forgot to tell you I tried this stuff in the Eastern Sierra's and it didn't work there either...so it seemed. Anyway, that was a year ago. Since I did so well at local lakes in Southern California this year, I decided to take it along up to high country lakes in the Sierra's. This time I brought both Kickn'Bass and Kickn'Trout and the results were incredible. I caught limits within minutes not hours. This stuff again impressed me in being a firm believer in using "scents", and Kickn'Bass has it all over Berkley Trout attractant. I am planning several more trips to the Sierra's in next month or so and I most definitely will be taking along the Kickn'Bass scents.
Being a honest consumer, I would just like to make a couple of comments. The product is a great one, but a little pricey and the sprayer top is worthless. It doesn't atomize the scent but squirts it in a stream and there is a lot of waste. You need to make the sprayer disperse better. I don't use the sprayer top but dunk my bait directly into the bottle. Could you look into to this please. Thanks! We not have a regular squirt cap Cory, no more spray tops. Cosmic>

I just came back from a successful trip on my favorite lake. I was using Zoom super flukes with Kick n Bass garlic. Several other fishermen in the area were using similar lures, but only got followers. I had several good hard strikes, boating a 4 lb and a 6 lb largemouth. The only difference that I could see was the Kick n Bass.

Just thought I'd let you know that my father-in-law caught a
12.03 last week on Lake Cooper. And he was using Kick-n-bass on his jig! I
will be placing a picture of him on the website as soon as the pictures are developed and
will definitely plug your product. We started trying your product soon after I added
a link to your site and I must say I have noticed the fish holding the bait longer and
they also seem to take the bait a bit deeper in their mouths. This has been very
good for us the last few weeks since most of the other anglers we have talked to stated
that they were losing a lot of fish when the hooks would pull out. That tells me
that they are not getting in there deep enough. Will talk to you soon about some
ideas that I have. Keep your hooks sharp,

Dear Sirs,
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that I was given one of your bottles of Kick-N-Bass formula by Roger Jones, here in Richmond Va. This is one of many formulas that I have tried over the years and I really think this may be the best I have ever used. I fish the Red Man Tournament Trail and guide for Roger in his guide service. I have been fishing and competing in bass tournaments for many years (since 1978) and I can honestly say this may be the best bottled formula I have ever used. I let my partners in the Red Man tournaments use some and got the same reaction from them. In fact I have been bugging Roger for some more, or at least tell me where I can get some for myself. Roger tells me you will be at Bass-A-Rama and I will be there working in Rogers booth, I really look forward to meeting you folks in person so I can tell you about this Formula in person.
Just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for turning Roger on to Kick-N-Bass and let you know how much I liked it!! Thank You,
Mike Ives
Just a note to tell you that I used the Garlic formula
of Kick n' Bass this past weekend and won the first annual Pro Bass Tournament on the
Kissimmee Chain of Lakes in Florida. I also won Big Bass, too.
I was flipping
plastic baits to Kissimmee grass and caught all of my fish this way. My baits were
sprayed with the garlic formula because I have been unable to obtain the Crawfish formula,
which is what I probably would have preferred. However, the garlic worked
great. My big bass hit so
lightly that I gave her pressure before realizing I had a fish on.....I think she held
onto the bait due to the garlic taste. I also found that one little squirt was all I
needed. I checked the bait after about 30 mins. of flipping and you could still
smell the garlic very easily! I'd really like to try the Crawfish
formula of Kick n' Bass because, if it's anything like the garlic, Moby Dick may succumb
to my flipped baits!!
Thank You,

Hi Ken, Just thought you might want to hear about what
some of Paul's students are up to. Also, Kick N Bass was a major factor in my success today!
March 13, 1998 (Friday the 13th) Went to Lake Ray Roberts (outside of Dallas) with a
friend of mine who is taking Paul's’ Teleclass. - Nicky Reed. Well, Nicky outdid
himself, in 7 drifts (using a driftnet concept he learned from Paul's class last week)
he
caught 4 LMB, total weight was 30.3 pounds!!!!! (Biggest was 8.8, the smallest was 5.0.
All Released!) Anyway, he (Nick Reed) is beside himself and for obvious reasons - he just
had his best ever fishing day in his life. Nicky is the man. We measured and photographed
each fish - lot of hooting and hollering, then released them to SPAWN again! We were
catching the fish in 15 - 20 feet, water temp was 49.5 and the water was pretty clear
considering the recent rain, maybe about a foot where we were. When we got home, we had to
call Paul and tell him - he was very proud. By the way, I zeroed while Nicky was
catching all the fish. I was never happier to be the net guy - well maybe one other time
when I netted a 14 and 11 pounder for Paul in two consecutive casts! However, this factual
story doesn’t end here . . .
Saturday, March 14, 1998 Well today was almost as awesome as yesterday. The drift
bite went away and we really had to slow down and try some other things, including using
Kick N Bass. We had fished this spot for about 30 minutes when we decided to try some
KICKNNBASS Garlic, and then all heck broke loose! In the same spot as yesterday, but with
a new partner Ben Moody, I landed four fish, total weight was 29.3 pounds and my
biggest was 9.9, smallest was 6.3 pounds! I lost a HUGE fish in the trees, and a few
more that I couldn't get a hook set on. Ben, landed one that went 7.1 pounds, and he lost
a couple more in the trees. We are sure that our applying KickNBass made a difference!
All the fish were related to submerged trees in 15-20 feet of water. Each fish was
photographed, measured, weighed, and released! Little bit of rain, clouds the whole
afternoon, and a wonderful Big Bass producing mist in the air! Wind was out of the east
today as yesterday was out of the south. Tight lines, Chuck Bauer PS - Between myself and
my two fishing partners, we caught 9 fish in the last two days and total weight was 66.7
pounds! Not bad for 3 students of Paul Duclos!

I guess you're at home buddy! How has gone in CA? Are the guys crazy for KNB? Your scent proved to me another time how good it is when it comes to catch bass. We were four boats yesterday on the river, all friends. Guess who was the only one to catch some bass? Conditions were really poor: low water, cold and dark but KNB worked like a champion! Well, I'm looking for the new Kick'n Craw: if it works like the Garlic flavored KNB, I'm on the run to pocket some checks this year!

Subject: New way to use KNB
Hello Ken! Went yesterday to a channel near my home for a fishing trip with my friend and his jonboat. The wind was blowing really hard and really cold. We have the rod guidelines literally covered by ice. I took my bottle of KNB and, after dousing the small 4" worm, I sprayed it on the rod guides: no ice for the whole day! Ok, come back to the bass... I literally slayed them. The first half-hour I got five bass on the boat while my buddy was blanking: he felt the fish on the lure but the fish won't keep on biting. While I follow to boat several other bass, my buddy was pretty nervous. He was using the same worm, the same hook, weight, line size but wasn't able to catch a single fish. After about another hour he asked me "Hey what's wrong? Am I missing something?" "Yes" I told him giving him the bottle of KNB. "Keep away from me those smell" he promptly said to me. "Ok, if you want to blank, keep on fishing without KNB". After missing another two bites he told me "Please, give me the scent". He applied a drop of KNB on his worm and caught four bass in a row! Every lure he changed during the day was religiously sprayed with KNB. At the end of the day, after several bass, he asked me to give him the bottle. My answer was predictable: "I'll see what I can do for you next time I'll hear from Cosmic". In the meantime I sprayed KNB on his favorite worm's bag. Well, it works so fine that I can't go out without it. Next seminar I'm booked (for the half of February), I will take my buddies along and I'll let them say their testimoniance about KNB to the crowd. Massimo
I have loved the kicknbass products since the first time I used them. I often use the "walleye" flavor on my BASS plastics because of results I get! Thank You Kick-N-Bass for increasing my catch rate substantially!
Thanks to all the board members that decided to put Butch and me on the Pro Staff. It sure won't be a hard job because we have been telling people and giving bottles away for quit a while now. It is a product that we believe in and buy by the case and felt it was only right that people we know and were really wanting to catch fish and didn’t know about it needed to try it. I have never heard a negative word about it’s affects, but don’t get it on you boat, although now I hear that have a product that cleans it off your boat. I can promise you that we will be trying the new cleaner soon.
Butch and I were given a bottle of KNB garlic scent from a friend, N.C. Clanahan to try, so one day when fishing was slow I decided to put some on my 10” motor oil worm. In just a short period of time I caught a good fish. I reapplied not knowing that I might not have needed to, but the next bite was a 10.70 lber. Butch noticed that I was doing something different so he ask me what and I told him. He decided to try it and then he caught a big fish. Well that is all it took to make us a believer in KNB and now we put it on everything. Butch now prefers the Shad flavor but I just can’t help but love the Garlic. They both are to good and like I have told so many people, if you are using live bait squirt some on because it just seems to call the fish to dinner. Thanks N.C. for sharing you KNB.
11 July 01, I decided to take the kids fishing today, to a local pond for about 3 hours, in the middle of the day (1230 to 3pm). The day started out slow and of course the kids started getting restless. So after an hour of nothing, I went to my tackle bag and pulled out some Kick'n Bass Garlic scent. The fish just jumped all over the Zoom White Pearl flukes they were using after I doused their baits!!! My son (9 years old) caught his first fish within 15 minutes of me adding the scent, he ended up catching 3 fish for a total of about 7pds. My baby girl(5 years old) caught a 2pdr and lost another. I know that the Kick'n Bass made the difference, it made a ho hum day into a day they will never forget!! Thanks Kick'n Bass for making such a dynamite scent!!!!

I am a tournament bass angler for almost 10 years now. In Michigan, one of the first tourneys of the year is the lake Neppessing bass clubs Hollaway resv tourney. This year was the 22nd annual.This lake has been called the DEAD SEA, this tourney has a very good payout-$4,000.00 first place and $500.00 big bass. The problem is that very few catch bass on this lake. It has a 7 fish limit .If you even catch 3 fish you are sure to be in the money. I have fished this tourney for 9 years now and have only caught 5 fish in that span. This tourney always has a great turnout because of the payout not the fish. This year there were 3 pros in it, but that didn't matter they did not have KNB. Well my partner and I had our limit of 7 within a half hour. We ended up catching 3 limits. Now I don't know if it was luck, right place right time, or what. All I know is that we were useing KNB for the first time on this lake and we won the $4,000.00 and big bass$500.00,call it what you want-but I know for a fact KNB won us this tourney just ask the guys that were fishing 50 ft from us and could not catch a fish. It was KNB just don't tell anyone he he he.
HEY COS,that window decal sure would look good on my truck.
I have tried kick-n-bass in two different flavors on two different lakes and have zero bass to show for it. I have caught bass on both of these lakes before and I thought it might help, like increase numbers or size. Nada, nope, nothing. I will keep trying, went to a third lake today and caught 25-30 bass without using kick-n-bass. Had a good thing going and did not want to turn them off so I did not try any scent today. Next time I will try kick-n-bass again and see what happens.

I FISHED A TEAM TOURNAMENT IN APRIL ON TOLEDO BEND. THE FISH WE WERE TRYING TO CATCH WERE ON MAIN LAKE POINTS. IT WAS A VERY WINDY DAY AND WE WERE TRYING TO FISH THE INSIDE GRASS EDGE IN 6 TO 8 FT. WE HAD CAUGHT SMALL FISH IN COVES, BUT FELT LIKE THERE WERE BETTER FISH ON THE POINTS. ABOUT ALL WE COULD DO IN THE WIND WAS SET UP A DRIFT AND TRY TO KEEP THE BOAT CLOSE TO THE GRASS LINE. CAROLINA RIGGED BABY BRUSHOGS AND LIZARDS SOAKED WITH PLENTY OF KICK' BASS® CAUGHT ALL OF OUR FISH. I HAD HOPED WITH THE RIGHT CONDITIONS WE COULD CATCH 15 OR 16 LBS. WE CAUGHT A LITTLE OVER 12 AND FINISHED 9TH. THE WIND MADE IT HARD ON A LOT OF FISHERMEN, BUT THAT'S HOW IT USUALLY WORKS. I KNOW THAT KICK'N BASS® HELPED WITH OUR WEIGHT. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF FISH THAT MIGHT BITE A LURE WITHOUT KICK'N BASS®, BUT IT'S THE FISH THAT IT WILL MAKE BITE THAT REALLY COUNT.

Here is the latest news from the tournament front... Took 4th in a club tournament this last Sunday, but did have the biggest fish for the Tournament. 3.17lbs (not that big but big enough) It was caught on a Pop'n Image with Kick'n Bass® Garlic. Of the other four I weighed in.. Another was on the Pop'n Image, One was caught on a Jig & Pig with KNB Crawfish formula and two on Jerry's Tournament Tackle 7 inch Slither Worms in Motor Oil color with KNB Garlic. I have two more tournaments this month. I'll let you know how they go...

My wife, Donna and I placed third in the couples' division in the Texas State Bass Tournament on Lake Amistad. We weighed in a limit of five bass each day of the two-day tournament for a total of 26.92 pounds.
A special thanks to Jim Pool and his Waypoint Marina for their hard work in putting this tournament together. It was by far the best organized Bass Tournament I have ever fished in. Also thanks to the tournament sponsors Waypoint Marina, Nitro Boats, Stern, Strike King, Ray Murski, and the Chamber of Del Rio, Texas.
I would also like to thank my sponsors, Bass Pro Shops, Fin & Feather Sports Sales, Nitro Boats, Kick'n' Bass® Attractant, Rod Bob, Bumper Stumper Lures and Stren Fishing Line for their support.
Lake Amistad is one of the best lakes to fish in Texas and the people around Del Rio were some of the friendliest.

Just got in from the lake. The water temperature was 46 degrees, under partly sunny skies. The bass were in a NEGATIVE feeding mood, and they are still in transition still between Winter & Spring. Much of the morning was simply casting practice, but when I applied KNB Anise Shad to my jerk baits after I had put some on my jig-n-frog. A few more flips with the jig, and I put it down. I then picked up the jerk bait with Anise Shad and produced 3 nice bass. Two smallmouth and a largemouth. But more importantly I picked up on what the fish were doing. They were suspended over about 8-9 ft of water. I had lost a smaller fish in the morning early without KNB applied to the jerk bait. But these finicky bass ate the jerk bait up. The largemouth had it in it's throat. (literally inhaled it) IF YOU DON'T THINK KICK-N-BASS WILL STAY ON HARD BAITS THINK AGAIN!! The jerk bait still had residue on it for 2 hours, and you could noticeably smell it as well. I really think KNB Anise Shad was the difference. I didn't boat a ton of fish, but I did get out of "Casting Practice Mode". BY THE WAY - I had talked with several boats, none had even had a bite in 8-9 hours.

My father & I were practicing for an upcoming tournament. I had pre-soaked several plastic worms, centipedes & tubes in the garlic scent. We were fishing a rather narrow canal, so we hung to one bank with my father flipping & pitching directly in front of the boat, and I casting across the canal from the back. I lost what felt like a decent size fish in some submerged dead trees. It took my worm however. We continued on about 100 yards to the end & decided it was productive enough to fish back. We hung to the opposite side & fished the same pattern on the way back. 100 yards and about 45 minutes later, at the same dead tree, my father landed a 17 inch Bass. Guess what it spit out? My worm soaked in the garlic scent. It had held it for all of that time, and then went for my dads. We could not believe it. We fish in a Bass club against some pretty tough guys. My husband uses your garlic & crawdad scent also. We are always in the top 5 weight class. Thank you.

My Name is Daryl Whisenant,
I fished a TX on Lake Norman in Feb. 2001 and it was cold. We started the Tx with around 20 boats and only 6 showed up to the weigh in. Most had left because of the cold and the fish were not biting. I finished second using Kick'n Bass Garlic Scent on a Zoom worm. Come to find out the boat that finished 1st was also using Kick'n Bass. The other boats that did weigh in had no fish. This goes to show no matter the weather, this is some great stuff. With a little bit of toughness and the right product you can catch fish in any conditions. After the weigh in, the other guys in the other boats were asking about the Kick'n Bass from me and the other boat that finished 1st.I think we convinced them that it does make a difference. Tight lines to all and use that Kick'n Bass.

During a club tournament on the Choptank River last fall, I got a lesson on the importance of using scents/ attractants. I had fished all of my usual spots during the day, but only had one keeper sized bass to show for my efforts. An hour before weigh-in I decided to head back to the ramp because there is a seawall there that tends to hold fish at times. When I got to the ramp area, there were several boats already working the wall with jigs and soft plastics. One of these boats belonged to a member of my club and he invited me to fall in behind him and fish the wall. In the 45 minutes that I fished along this 150 yard wall along with 5 or 6 other boats, I saw 7 fish caught. I caught 4 of these and the other member of my club caught the other three. We didn't see anyone else even set the hook1 I'm sure you can guess what the big difference was!!!! Kick'n Bass was the difference! I didn't see any of the other fishermen using any attractant at all. They seemed to be using similar baits, and I caught my fish on two different baits in several different colors. The same goes for the other fellow in my club. I was already convinced that scents/attractants worked, but this really seemed to drive the point home!

We came in 2nd.place in the senior division with 10 fish for a two day catch of 28.52.We fished 4 to 6ft. with lizards & jerk shads with lot's of garlic Kick'n Bass. The secret was finding where the water had covered the new grass and then finding the dark line and throwing small Carolina rigs with 16 oz.weight. Our first fish was 4.5 lb. We owe the win to Kick'n Bass. I am proud to be on the pro staff team. Hoyt Fincher of Burleson and Bill Boyd of Colleyville Texas. Thanks Kick'n Bass.

WHAT A PRODUCT !!
KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine is just the ticket to keep any boat looking like new. Just spray it on, and wipe it off. The true test though is always "road-grime". You know, when you trailer your boat through rain going to a tournament and you get that film from oil, tires, and dirt off the road even with a cover on you still get that film. Then, you try to clean it off. Road grime just smears and looks awful until the 2nd or 3rd wash!! KNB-Bass Boat Clean & Shine is the answer, it takes it off the first time, plus it gives your boat/tow vehicle that showroom luster. IT'S FAST, IT'S EASY, AND INEXPENSIVE. Consider how much a carwash costs anymore, now add your time and inconvenience. If you're going to clean stuff up, do it right the first time. KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine saves you time. Try it, you'll like it. HERE'S A TIP FOR USING IT TAKE 5 -10 MINUTES and go wipe down your spouses vehicle with KNB Bass Boat Clean & Shine when they're not home. Then, put a bucket with a wet sponge, damp towel, and a shammy next to it when you're done. Go in and watch Jimmy Houston Outdoors, OR simply go fishing. (It'll look like you worked on it all day) It'll look great, and you'll look great. This is a win - win deal!!

My name is Jeff Saunders, a new pro Staffer for Kick'n Bass. On February 4th,2001 my partner Jimmie Jones and I fished the Texas 100 Team tournament at Granbury. We found a fish kill underway when we got onto the lake. We knew it was going to be tough. Following plans laid out the night before, we set out to our first spot. Once at our spot we found dying shad all over the top of the water. Jimmie started with a crankbait and soon missed our first bite. I started with a jig soaked in Kick'n Bass Crawfish. After a few casts I caught a 5.10 pound Bass. We soon set out to try our other spots and could not beg a bite. After fishing to within about an hour of weigh-in, we went back to our original spot. When we arrived a friend of mine was sitting in the spot. As he left the spot he said he had fished it for a couple of hours without a bite. I resoaked my jig and soon had another good fish on, but lost it in the timber. We fished right up to the time to run to weigh-in. Once there we found that only 7 fish were caught out of 104 teams. We finished in Third place and Third place big Bass. My friend asked us how we managed to catch a fish when they could not get bit. I told him about Kick'n Bass and I believe he will now be a user! I would like to thank Kick'n Bass, Fun and Sun Marine, Bumper Stumper Lures and Mister Twister for helping us with this tournament finish. Jeff Saunders

During a tournament in the 2000 season the bass were heavily pressured, and in a negative feeding mood. However, thanks to Kick-N-Bass Anise Shad. I was lucky enough to cull almost three ( 3 ) limits of bass the 1st day, and had Big Bass on Day 2. My overall finish in the event was 2nd. I missed winning the event by a mere .50 of a pound. Kick-N-Bass is by far the best product on the market today.

I have used Jacks Juice for years so when I got some Kick'n Bass as a Xmas present I just threw it in the boat and forgot it. Last week I had a tournament on Lake Lanier; water temp. in high 40s; really tough bite. The spots were just nipping it and hitting short. Finally I decided to try the Kick'n Bass and to make a long story short won the tournament. They really grabbed on to my finesse worm and hung on for dear life! At least long enough for me to get a quick hook set. After experimenting with different ways to wash the smell off my hands I came up with using Cheer with bleach soap powder. Kick'n Bass really does work for me. Finesse Man (Don Schweitzer)

I have been a loyal supporter of Kick'n Bass Fish Attractants for over 4 years now and have been on the Pro Staff for 3 years. During this time I have continued to be amazed at how this product out performs all other attractants on the market. When the fish are finicky or short striking, using this product will help the fish hold on to the bait long enough to guarantee a good hook set!
I have to tell this one story. When I was pre-fishing for the B.A.S.S. on Pickwick/Wilson last year I had to stop using Kick'n Bass on my jig. Off course you don't want to set the hook on fish the day before a big tournament, but I had several smallies while fishing Wilson that would not let go of the jig. I was fishing a point in about 25' of water and felt a bite. Instead of setting the hook I started slowly reeling, just enough to put a little pressure on the fish. To make a long story short I pulled that fish all the way up to within "net" range before I could get her to let go. I was totally amazed!
So now when I'm pre-fishing several days prior to a tournament, I simply don't use Kick'n Bass. It could be banned as an unfair advantage!
Thanks to all the gang at Kick'n Bass and welcome aboard Jimmy! What a great addition to this Pro Staff.

I was fishing a team tournament last year during the springtime. I was busy flipping a jig into cover as we sped past it, my partner was fast reeling a spinnerbait when I heard him exclaim whoa that was a good fish that just missed my spinnerbait. We fished around that fish for a while, throwing everything in the boat at her when I recalled some advice a guy had given me sometime ago about bedding bass. He had told me to use garlic scent on a bedding bass and they would go wild. I thought to myself, well I've been using crawfish KNB all morning and are one short of my limit so what the heck. I placed a couple of drops of garlic KNB on my jig and ka-wham she took it, first cast. She weighed a little bit over 5 lbs, enough for 2nd place that day. Thanks KNB for making the best scent out there.

I am in my second year as a Kick'n Bass Pro-Staff member. While I'm proud to wear the Kick'n Bass shirt and hat at the tournaments I compete in, it's the product itself that provides the most satisfaction. When the "scent craze" hit about ten years ago, I was a user of Fish Formula, Lockjaw, and BANG. I noticed an increase in my creels of bass when I used a scent, but had no idea that the bar could be raised much higher. I had heard of, but never used, Kick'n Bass until I won a bottle of garlic formula as part of a tournament giveaway. While running low on BANG, I decided to give the Kick'n Bass a try. The first difference I noticed in Kick'n Bass was not when I applied it to my bait, but when I opened the bottle and got a whiff of the strongest garlic odor I had ever smelled. As I applied the scent to my jig/craw combination I saw how it saturated the bait instead of just coating it and dripping off. This pleased me, but not as much as the results that I saw immediately! I not only caught more numbers of fish, but better quality fish than I was used to catching in the same old half-productive areas. My partner and I have since performed our own "control"...one using Kick'n Bass and one using no attractant or another brand. The Kick'n Bass ALWAYS wins! I've since been able to fine tune my technique for maximizing my success with Kick'n Bass which I will share with you. When I am flipping' or pitching a jig or worm to cover, I will always use the crawfish formula. You'll notice that when you switch baits and then return to a lure previously soaked with Kick'n Bass, it'll still be discharging the attractant into the water. When I am fishing open water with a jig or Carolina-rig, I prefer to use the garlic scented formula. When I switch to a spinnerbait, buzzbait, crankbait, or other fast moving bait, I like to use the anise/shad formula which seems to mimic the shad more. In the past 2 years I have accumulated a lot of money in tournament winnings riding solely on the strength of Kick'n Bass. I have qualified for the Angler's Choice Regional Championship the past two years and the Mercury National Championship this past year. The only negative thing about promoting Kick'n Bass is that my competition will have the same edge as I feel Kick'n Bass has given me. Those who know me well will be the first to tell you I'm a straight shooter when it comes to the truth, but don't take my word for it...purchase your own Kick'n Bass and note your own results.

I was fishing the other day. And nothing was biting. Me and my buddy got to the lake at about 7 in the morning and several hours had gone by and nothing was happening. When I saw a bottle rolling around in the bottom of my boat ? And guess what it was that's right a almost empty bottle of the stuff. So I decided to use a little on my Buzzbait that had been catching nothing with 2 casts and bang a 3 pounder ! well after 3 more fish that size my buddy in the back was wondering what in the heck I was using ? so I told him what kind of lure it was and he had one too, But it wasn't working ( HA HA) Then he caught me putting some on my lure, now the cat was out of the bag. So I had to start sharing what little bit I had left. And sure enough he started catching fish too. This stuff is AWESOME!!! Thanks for making it and a special thanks to my other buddy Clyde for leaving it in my boat! GOOD FISHING TO ALL AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS ! Your fellow Christian angler Tim PS.

I really appreciated this excellent product, that help my partner and I gain the 'Bass Anglers of the Year' in the Brazos Region of the Texas 100 team tournament trail. This trail started out with 147 teams this year and with the help of KNB and some consistency, our team may not have taken 1st Place in any one tournament, even though we where in the money, but having the advantage of this product, helped us be consistent for the year and come out on top. In two weeks we go to the State Championship on Lake Sam Rayburn, and with the pre-fishing that we did and using KNB, we feel that we will have an excellent opportunity to do good at this tournament. Ken, again a great product, in which I usually don't fall below 4 bottles in my boat at any one time, or it's time to restock. This product also help me become the Bass Angler of the Year in my bass club for the second year in a row. thanks again..... Bob Aldert Richland Hills, Texas
I would like to take a moment to tell you how I heard about Kick n Bass and some of the fishing stories behind it I have fished all my life...the last 10 with Bass'n Gals..WBFA...Redman and some local clubs ..I also surf the net a lot. I am an avid reader of Bass Fishing Home Page...and I kept seeing these post about KNB...day after day...time and time again...I had read so much about it that I decided to go to the web page and ask about it..I e-mailed a letter out to them and in minutes I had a replay!!...Have to say it was one of the best E-mails I have ever sent... Not long after the e-mail I received a call from Ken Revell...and he shipped me out 2 bottles...WELL...I took it to the Red River in La ...to practice for the Classic...I had my KNB in the boat.. BUT...to tell the truth I had almost forgot about it...I fished all morning and had 2 short fish...tried everything I knew to catch the fish, I was going thru the tackle box and saw the KNB...I told my husband Ralph...Hey here is the KNB think I am going to try it... I open a pack of worms...put about 4 drops in the bag...rubbed the bag between my hands to spread it over the bait...took one out and put it on....the 3rd cast ,I landed a 4 lb.bass...WOW!!!!...I made the next 4 cast and on the 4th cast I landed a 2 lb.bass I said to Ralph...you think this KNB was what done it...and he said...WEll I am not using it and I haven't had a bite...he then put on one of the worms and by the end of the day we had put 6 nice keepers in the boat.. Thanks Kick n Bass!!! My sponsors are...Deaton Marine. Triton Boats Pinpoint Electronics Mercury Motors ISG Lures My Husband Ralph My Family... And last but not Least...KICK N BASS!!!!!
I've got to be about the worst jig fisherman to ever wet a hook. Just never could feel the bite until at our club top 10 tourney last weekend I squirted a little of the "Magic Crawdad Juice" on my jig. Didn't have to feel the bite. Just put it by a cypress tree, jiggle it a little and when the line starts swimming away set the hook. I weighed in a five fish limit of 20.55lbs for second place. Culled 3 fish over 2lbs each. I'll have a bottle in my boat from now on.
Thanks again Wallace Erwin
I'd just like to thank you guys for your fine product. I doused my lizards in Crawfish the night before day 3 of the M1 tournament. That day I came in 3rd and went to the final Top 10. I used the same lizards but more Kick'n Bass on them threw final day. I took fourth and took home $12,500. Being the youngest one there at 16 years of age, I needed every advantage I could get. I used plastics 2 out of the 4 days, but those 2 days Kick'n Bass was always being used. I would love to talk about this more, but I have to go.

On a recent trip to Lake Huites in Mexico, my brother-in-law, Frank and I fished for the first two days using spinnerbaits, worms, and crank baits. We caught fish, on the average of twenty to thirty per day in the 1.5 lb. to 4.0lb. range. The third day after using kicknbass we both landed our biggest fish of the trip, a 5.8 pounder and without exaggeration caught approximately 130, yes one hundred thirty bass on that last day between 1.5lb. and 5.9 lb.. This was accomplished in my estimation for two reasons: First, the added attractant of KicknBass to every few casts without a doubt, Second becoming more familiar with the lake and having trained the guide on our boat to both the areas and type of fishing we were interested in. Until this trip I have not used kicknbass, however, I will be using it on all future outings. The fish definitely hold on to the bait longer which was evidenced by me in fishing plastic worms at which I consider myself a novice. The line would just move in the opposite direction and I would realize that a fish was on. I am an average fisherman and have already mentioned kicknbass to all my fishing buddies. There is no doubt in my that I would have caught fish without the attractant, however, I would not have caught as many. Thank You KicknBass> Art Hyslop
Just want to let you know about a new rod called Piranha Rods. Very sensitive and light. Comes with a one year warranty. Nice looks. As good as any rod I've ever used. I've used alot of fish attractants but the best I've used to date is Kick N Bass. I apply it on my baits about twice a day, instead of every other cast. I use it on soft plastics and on hard baits, and it stays on the lure a long time. Alan Dunn

This last Sunday my partner and I fished a tournament in the worst conditions possible. We had temps in the 30's and 40's and rain for the last three days with snow predicted on tournament day. The lake temp had dropped from 60 to 44 in just one week. My partner and I were fishing the same lure. I had just become a sales rep for Kick'n bass and had to prove to myself that it works. By noon we had just two fish in the boat. I started using the garlic scent and to my surprise I started catching fish. In fact I was catching 3 to 4 fish to my partners one. He hardly had time to fish as I was yelling get the net. We had our limit in just 10 minutes and we even culled that limit for larger fish twice. We were catching smallmouth. When it was all said and done we had a 5 fish limit for 15 lbs. and 3 oz. Thanks to Kick'n Bass we cashed a first place check. There was only one other team that had a limit and they had only 8 lbs. I am now a firm believer in Kick'n Bass and I can say that it works great.
I got my first bottle of Kick'n Bass Garlic as door prize in a tournament. I believed that scent didn't hurt but didn't help. It sat in my truck for about 6 months till I got sick of the smell. Well, I figured the best way to get rid of it is let my customers use it. As a professional guide I am not used to getting whooped by my clients I was happy for them but man they were catching fish behind me, so I started fishing harder to no avail. My clients were catching 3 to my 1 at least. I decided one day to put some of that garlic stuff on my lures. And WHAM a keeper bass the first cast. My client that day said you don't get to use this no more. My message to all guides is get some of this stuff. It will help your clients catch more fish. And that's the name of the game.

Went back home to So. Ca. in June for 2 weeks. I had just ordered the Crawfish scent and took it with me. My Dad and I went out on a 3/4 day boat out of Dana Point to do some Calico and sand bass fishing. Wow did this stuff work on saltwater bass! There were guys on the boat that had all kinds of fancy hand poured baits, all I was armed with were 3 colors of 5" grubs, some 1/2 oz lead heads and Kick'n bass crawfish. I outfished the all, and this my first time saltwater bassin with plastics. I even outfished the live bait dunkers! But it didn't stop there. My folks live on a super clear private lake, and the stuff helped me get lots of bites in the summer heat. They really hang on to this. To sum it all up, Its good stuff. Add a little glitter to it sometime, that's a secret for ya.
I went fishing at Lundy Lake last summer (1998). Went with about a dozen LA Sheriffs. Cool guys! They started ragging on the Kick'n' Trout the first night I brought it out. I had the last laugh. In the same boat with me was my buddy Gil, using a Berkley trout attractant. Didn't work. Cast for cast, I caught a dozen trout to his one. Tried it on my fly rod too. It worked!. Please send me another bottle. I think Gil borrowed my Kick'n Trout and forgot to put it back.
Even I have to sit back some time and just get blown away by this great line of scents. He is a copy of my lake report from last weekend. Cory you gave me the inspiration to post this. Thanks. C>
My wife had to spend a week up at the lake of the woods working, so every day I had to go fish from sunrise to sunset. As I have said before, It is a rough life but someone has to do it.
Well the bass were on the beds, all snuggled up in two's and three's. Caught one and then thought to myself I may as well leave them alone and harass the trout. The trout were biting. The lake is filled with weeds and you either have to use a bobber or a split shot rig with something that floats like Power Bait®.
Got out the first day and wanted to do some experimenting. Took a bobber, treble hook, A COTTON BALL AND SOME KICK'N TROUT. You should have seen the faces of the guys with all the fancy stuff when I said I was a chemist and was using cotton balls or bread. I could have sold all the Kick'n Trout we have in stock on that one lake.
Needless to say it worked great with the Power bait too and worms. Just open the top of the bottle and dip whatever in the bottle and then cast out. One guy did a test with me and the KNB treated bait outfished the untreated by 4 to 0. Needless to say I had a great week and made lots of friends. C>
I recently started fishing for trout seriously only in the past two years. In 1998, I went to the Fred Hall fishing show in my area and came upon the booth that was presenting "KicknBass". The guy was so persistent telling me how great this stuff was, that I finally bought a bottle of "Kick'n Bass" with garlic. I bought the scent with the garlic because I know that sometimes a garlic scent alone will attract more trout to the bait. I was anxious to try this stuff as soon as I could. I tried this stuff out at Irvine Lake, which is private lake in Orange County, California , and to be very honest with you, I didn't see any significant results. In fact, I was down right disappointed because of what I thought was just hype the guy at the fishing show was giving me. I stopped using it for the rest of the trout season. Then the very next year when trout season started up again, I was reading a fishing web page where this angler was just raving about using "Kick'n Bass". My first instincts were that this guy must be joking, because the previous year I had tried it, I didn't get any more bites with this stuff. Later, I kept on reading more favorable reports about him catching lots of trout using this "Kick'n Bass" scent and I began to wonder if I really gave this stuff a fair chance, mainly because of the integrity of this man who was submitting these very successful trout reports. This man's name is Jeff Sun, who is the web master for the www.fishinghotpage.com. I have the utmost respect for this mans testimony and I believe he would never falsify any reports. I therefore decided to give "Kick'n Bass" another try. I don't know why last year it didn't do anything, but this year I am constantly catching limits within a few hours and not waiting all day to limit. I have been fishing on the average 3 times a week and using "Kick'n Bass" has been absolutely devastating on the trout. Just about every time I go fishing at Irvine Lake, there are people on both sides of me not catching and I am just killing the trout left and right. They can't help but notice how much action I am getting. For those of them who are curious enough to ask, I proudly tell them that I using "Kick'n Bass" on my night crawlers. They are in awe and amazement how well I do. I know for a fact that everyone that has seen me catch trout and ask me what I'm using, went out and bought some "Kick'n Bass" scent with garlic. This stuff is beyond incredible. The only problem with this stuff is trying to have enough of it on hand. It sells out so fast, that I have to buy several bottles at a time so I don't run out. This testimony is true and I have people who can back me up on this because they all use "Kick'n Bass" too. Trout fishing has never been better thanks to "Kick'n Bass"!
World class freshwater Largemouth Bass country here. Just got back from the Stick Marsh, 6000acres of Bass heaven. Tried Kick'n bass Craw for the first time, loved it. Had a very productive day, more so than usual with my worms and Kicknbass, not to say that I may not have had this type of day anyway, one never knows. I did observe the attractant stayed on the lure much longer than the other scents I use, lasting for a much longer time. When fishing for LMB you got to try to think like a Bass. I was thinking that this scent is more like what a woman would want, and it is the females we are looking for. P.S. CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO ONE PEDDLING YOUR PRODUCTS IN BASS HEAVEN! Thank, DOC
As reported in The Arizona Republic on Sunday, April 25, 1999, (Page 8EV) I use Kick'n' Bass garlic scent. Although this was to remain a secret, While talking to Dwayne Smith Outdoor editor I slipped and of course he has a job to do so he wrote about this product that I used. Now that the cat is out of the bag.
I use and have used this product for a long time now. I happened acrossed it at one of our retail stores. Perhaps Wal-Mart and thought I'd try it. Now I use it all the time. "If the bait I am using has an amino acid impregnated into it, I'll still dip my plastics in to Kick'n' Bass." Thank You for such a fine product. 2 Time Arizona State Champion Bill Warman http://www.vsps.com
On April 18th I was fishing at Lake Pleasant just northwest of Phoenix, Arizona. I was using a Luck E Strike Enforcer Lizard in Pumpkin green pepper and had dipped the tail in chartreuse dye, to give the fish something different to look at. I soaked the lizard with Kick’n Bass Crawdad scent (which I know triggered the fish into biting and holding onto the bait). The fish was a 13.6# largemouth weighed on certified scales 9 hours later. I would have returned her, but she had swallowed the lure completely and the fight was too much for her. She had completed spawning.
I have used Kick’n Bass and Luck E Strike plastic lure products for awhile and swear by them. The have produced many good fish for me. I think that if I was not using them, I would not have caught such a beauty as this fish!!! The combination of Luck E Strike and Kick’n Bass are hard to compete with.
Thanks you Kick'n Bass you have a user for life!!!,

I FISH ALOT OF THE LOCAL TOURNAMENTS INCLUDING 100% BASS AND LOCAL CLUBS. THERE HAS BEEN DAYS THAT THE FISH WOULDN'T BITE UNLESS YOU WERE USING KICKNBASS. A FRIEND OF MINE WAS 20 FT. FROM ME USING THE SAME BAIT AND FISHING THE SAME PLACES BUT I WAS CATCHING FISHING AND HE WAS JUST CASTING. THE DIFFERENCE WAS KICKNBASS. THIS STUFF IS THE BEST SCENT YOU CAN BUY...
I was turned onto your product about three months ago by Eddie Roberts, a local pro. I have seen a tremendous increase in the number and quality of fish I catch. I fish a lot of local tournaments as well as being a member of a local club, and using Kick'n Bass has improved my standings.
I recently carried my wife fishing at a local state park to do some white-perch fishing. I tied on a small bettle- spin to rip across the grass beds, which I have had good results in doing before. I decided to use Kick'n Bass on the bettle spin and on the third cast caught a 4.5 lb bass. I caught several more bass and some very large white-white. I believe that your product was the reason for the number and quality of those fish. It's a fantastic product that will always be in my tackle-box.
Caught a 6.5lb (measured on Berkley scale) largemouth at Saguaro Lake on Thursday. I saw the fish cruising the shoreline while throwing a chartreuse spinnerbait. After a few unsuccessful casts I made a return trip, gave the blade a double dose of KNB and "tap". It's amazing how lightly a big bass can take the bait. I caught a large cat (7+) last week (using KNB garlic on spinnerbait) that tried to take the rod out of my hand when it hit. bait.
At a major Bass Fishing Tournament last December in Alabama, I noticed many of the pro anglers sporting a Kick n' Bass logo on their shirts and boats. Since I have never won or placed in a Bass Fishing Tournament before (I've only been Bass Fishing for one year now), I decided to purchase some Kick n' Bass to see if it would help me catch more fish against the local pros here in Florida on Lake Okeechobee. Not only did Kick n' Bass help me catch more quality fish, I believe Kick n' Bass is the reason I am now celebrating my very first 2nd Place victory against anglers that usually bring in those huge limits to the weigh-in scales. I couldn't believe it (and neither did they hahaha) when all I did was spray your fish attractant on my topwater lures and WHAM-O, I caught Bass after Bass during a time these local pros termed a "tough bite". Well it wasn't a tough fishing' day for me because I had my secret weapon, Kick n' Bass Fish Attractant ! So..Thanks for the assist !
Jimmy and I grew up together in NJ in the 1960's, now he is in Fld and I'm in AZ. Thanks Jim. Cosmic>
This is the first time I've used Kick n Bass. We head to the lake around 11 in the morning. It was me and my friend and my little cousin who loves bassin. They were using minnows and I was using Kick n Bass . Fished for a few hours and I caught nothing . They both caught two dinks. Your product really has the strongest scent I've ever smelled. I will continue to use it.
Just thought I would add my experiences with your Kick'n Bass Garlic. I carry both Craw and Garlic on board but I must admit that 99% of the time I use the Garlic. Nothing goes over the side that is not scented and what comes back to the boat is more bass. As my reports indicate for my area my catches are usually quite good and a great deal of my success is due to your product. Keep up the good work! George Imagination Bassin Port St Lucie, Florida
I fished the first week of March 1999 up at Clearlake California, fishing with my uncle. We were catching so many catfish in the 2-4lb range using Kick N' Bass fish attractant. That is nothing new to me because I have caught other monster fish using Kick N'Bass including a 12lb 8 oz rainbow trout at Contra Loma Lake in Antioch, CA. Anyway, the catfish were chewing on thumbs and we couldn't hold the fish. I told my uncle about these red lib grippers that I had received as a sample from my friend and best bud-Greg Van Steenkiste. We put them on our left thumbs and it made the entire difference in our fishing experience. We no longer had the catfish chewing on our thumbs and fingers; no longer did we have to struggle to get the fish in the bucket. We caught 75 catfish in two days. I love Scientific Bass Products! Thank you for giving me better fishing experiences in the great outdoors! Roy S.Hendricks Antioch, Ca.
Ken, What a product! I have never had a scent that would hold on to the bait like this one. My wife told me to put the poles outside because of the smell. What I like about Kick'n' bass is not only does it help catch fish, you don't run through bottles very fast which saves money for the angler. Good job Johnny Johnson (Host of Settin' the Hook T.V. show in Arizona..)
I have been fishing Lake Fork for the last 10 yrs..,on 3-9-99 I fished on Fork and had little success..,after lunch I remembered I had purchased the garlic scent and went of to fish some deep road bed..,well on the very first cast I had a hit like I never had before..,I didn't land the fish thinking it had broke my line..,as I was reeling in the line the bass jumped out of the water..,apparently thinking it was still hooked. It must of been tasting the garlic scent in it's mouth and thought it was still hooked. The best I can judge the bass was over 10 lbs..,and looking at my lure I could see why it got off, it had straighten out both treble hooks. Kick n Bass Garlic scent really made me a believer, I went on to catch 15 bass all on the same lure and scent.
Kick'n Bass Garlic scent works on Crappie pretty well. On 2/28/99 we fished below Horseshoe Dam and we caught a bunch of really nice Crappie. As the scent seemed to wear off, the bite seemed to slow down. So each time that happened, we sprayed our jigs with Garlic and the bite picked right up. Usually got bit on the very next cast. We averaged 2 lb crappie and some up to 2.75 lbs.
We'll try it again next time.
Fished Roosevelt on 2-14-99 and used Kick'n Bass for the first time. I've fished this lake often this winter and caught lots of fish. But mostly all unders. Large minnow size if you know what I mean. Well anyway, I would say at least 70% of the fish I caught were larger including 4 overs and 6 or 7 slot fish. Only had 3 unders. Not sure if it's the law of average or this stuff really works? I intend to try it again.
Got back from Lake El Salto, Mazatlan Mexico two weeks ago. Myself and 5 other friends fished for 4.5 days. We didn't catch the quantity of largemouth we usually expect, but the size of the fish were generally larger. Anyway, sprayed garlic scent kicknbass on all my spinnerbaits before we left. Yes they were in a Ziploc bag. Our guide the first day on the water reached into the bag and removed one of my spinnerbaits. He really didn't get a whiff of the garlic on the spinnerbait until he touched his face. I had to tie my own spinnerbaits the rest of the trip. The scent stayed on and on and on. Never resprayed my lures the rest of the trip. The largemouth inhaled the garlic scent lures. I will definitely be using the kicknbass garlic scent on my lures when fishing here in California. By the way, I thought they were going to make me leave my tackle box at the Mazatlan airport. The smell from the kicknbass lasted a little to long. My buddies almost made me travel in the luggage compartment. Sincerely, Doug Holcomb, a first time user, soon to be an abuser of your great product
Just about any bait that you buy has a factory smell take a bait out of the bag or take your hard bait out of the cardboard package. Smell it and you will see that it has a factory smell. If you can smell it you know that a fish with the scenes that they have can smell it. but when you use Kick'n bass you won't have the smell . Your catch will increase . Kick'n bass will cover up the tar on your hands if you smoke and it will cover all smells that you the fisherman have on your hands.
I was fishing with a Tantrum spinner bait doctored with scent the water was 44 degrees and the only fish I caught was a 3lb 11oz. bass . I have to say Kick'n bass is the only sent I will use. Tony Gunderson
My name is Mark Hammonds and I am Professional Guide and Tournament Angler. I can tell you from experience that having an "edge" when fishing, is very important. My "edge" was found in Kick'n Bass fish attractants. A couple of years ago I began Guiding on a full time basis. I spent a lot of time in Outdoors Unlimited in Arlington, Texas, sharing fishing' stories. Bill told me one day that there was this new product that he was carrying that seemed to be pretty effective. At that time I was skeptical as to the quality of fish attractants, for I had used virtually every one made and could not see any positive results. But being open minded I took a sample of the product and what transpired made a believer out of me. On my next trip to Richland Chambers I applied the product to my soft plastic Carolina Rig and the results were amazing. I caught twice as many fish in all my areas. The fish seemed to be inhaling the baits and allowing me to more time to recognize bites and not miss fish. This is especially good for those clients that do not recognize every strike that occurs. It makes all of their strikes aggressive ones. Since that sample bottle, I absolutely do not go fishing, guide trip or tournament, without Kick'n Bass somewhere in the boat. My suggestion to you is, if you like an edge over the rest of the field, utilize Kick'n Bass and let it do the work.
I have used a lot of scents over the years, but Kick n Bass really works and helps me put fish in the boat. Fishing is tough enough, but the attractant it makes the difference between catching and not catching. Last summer when it was 100+ degrees my five year old grand-daughter Lauren wanted to go fishing. So we went to Lake Arlington and fished off the bank with live worms. We were there for a couple of hours. It was really too hot to be there and I suggested that we go home, but she just wanted to keep fishing. A few couples with their kids came by and we asked how they had been doing and they all said nothing was biting. I had taken a bottle of Garlic Kick 'n Bass along with us, so I suggested to Lauren that we spray some of the worms, "OK papa" ,she said. As soon as it hit the water, she caught a perch about the size of your hand. She said," put some more Kick 'n Bass on!! The next cast she had, she caught another one. From then on to everybody that came by, she would tell them she was catching fish using Kick 'n Bass. My point is, it works! Fish are getting smarter these days. If you haven't tried it, you should. Kick 'n Bass is no gimmick, it works.

I write an outdoor column for a local publication and am a licensed guide on Joe Pool Lake here in Texas. I have used scents for a long time and have used KicknBass since it was first introduced here in Texas. This is THE BEST--bar none-- on the market today! I could go on and on with stories, but let me tell you two from this fall---
On a trip to Lake Fork under some pretty miserable conditions, I was using a spinnerbait with little success. I sprayed the bait with Kick'n Bass, and slowed down my retrieve. I caught several fish in a row(four while my two partners caught nothing!) but the most fun was a cast where the fish kept hitting the bait--a total of four times-before inhaling it. When we brought the 7 lber in, we noticed she was blind in one eye! No doubt about it, that fish was caught by the KNB smell!
The second trip was at Joe Pool under miserable conditions--yet my son and I had great success(saw no other fish caught by anyone that day) by pitching 4 inch black power worms soaked in Kick'n Bass and dead sticking the bait in heavy cover. We wound up with several nice fish using this technique under very adverse conditions. If I can help you with techniques or help you with Joe Pool Lake, call me at 817-468-4132 or email me at rrdonnel@onramp.net .
I have been fishing in a local fun club for about ten years. Myself and a friend decided to fish a open tournament put on by a local federation club. The areas top fisherman are in this club. Due to the drought in the east the lake (Smith Mt.) was about 6ft. low. This is early dec. and the weather was still in the upper 60's to lower 70's. So the fishing fever was still in us. I had been using "Bang" spray all morning and had caught 2 dinks by 11:30. My partner and I made a move and I started to use "Kick'n bass" on our jig-n-pig. In the next 2 hours we put 5 keeper fish in the boat and 1 was big fish of the tournament weighing 5.54lbs. The way the fish were picking up the jigs and holding on I believe was due to the "Kick'n bass". I haved switched to crawfish and garlic for all my future tournaments. Thanks for the great products.
Have kind of a funny story too tell. Went on Fun fishing trip on Lake Tenkiller here in Northeast Okla. last weekend fishing for Spotted Bass. I pulled up on one of my favorite Banks to find a couple of guys already there. looked as if they were inside of point headed into the cove off of this Bank. so I stated to fish down the Bank the other way from them on the Main lake side. They started to complain about me being there. I said I was going the other way from them not to worry. The guy in back said who cares the fish are not biting anyway. Now I am putting my K&B in a Plastic freezer Bag, I have found this works for me very well. All I have to do is just swing my Bait over and drop into the Bag squeeze the outside of bag no mess, no spill, drop the bag down in boat and go on Fishing the stuff sticks to the inside of the Bag works real well. Sure save trying to get the darn stuff off my white Boat. Now back to story as these guys was complaining I douse my Watermelon french fry into the Bag pitch next a big Rock and bang first fish not a big one but a fish. next douse into the Bag a pitch into rocks another fish this one a little better. Guys this happen Five times in a row before I made a pitch without a Fish.I was getting excited myself but wait I was by this time several feet away from you know who and you know how sound carries on water. I could hear about everything they said. I could tell the Guy in Front was not a happy camper at all and the guy in the back of the Boat kept Hollering !He got another one what's the deal!!. Finally the Guy in Front had about all he could stand of his buddy in back he said !Shut Up BO, I don't give a Dam about his Fish What I want to know WHAT"s he's got in that Dam BAG! I like to fell out of the Boat the way he said it. So I said hey guys I am not trying to be smart OK but you look like you could use some help I said here and I trolled over and gave them the bottle I was using From. WE talk about it and told the where I got mine and went on my way.
I just wanted to say that Kenny, you have one heck of a product. Yesterday at the WON tournament I saw quite a few tournament anglers weighing in with small bags and numerous anglers with only one or two fish. Wish I had fished this tournament. I was using a Watermelon Zoom Lizard and Kick'n' Bass. I caught and released well over a limit of fish that would have put me in the top 1/4 of the pack on the first day. This tournament was at Lake Pleasant and from many of people I heard all week that the lake has been really tough. Well not for me and my Kick'n' Bass. Thank you Kenny

I'm not the type of person to believe the hype about the new lure that catches tons of fish, or the new scent that can turn you into a professional fisherman overnight. But there is no doubt that this stuff works, I use the crawfish scent, and since I started using it, I went from being a decent fisherman in my club to being the top 6 champion. This stuff works!
I can't say either scent is all that much better as far as the bass are concerned but man do the catfish like the stuff. Caught a 12+ pounder on a four inch lizard in a bass tournament and numerous other cats at unexpected moments while fishing for bass. By the way, can I buy this stuff by the gallon to save on the packaging cost (bulk discount)????
thanks

Just a note to tell you that I used the Garlic formula of Kick n' Bass this past weekend and won the first annual Pro Bass Tournament on the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes in Florida. I also won Big Bass, too. I was flipping plastic baits to Kissimmee grass and caught all of my fish this way. My baits were sprayed with the garlic formula because I have been unable to obtain the Crawfish formula, which is what I probably would have preferred. However, the garlic worked great. My big bass hit so lightly that I gave her pressure before realizing I had a fish on.....I think she held onto the bait due to the garlic taste. I also found that one little squirt was all I needed. I checked the bait after about 30 mins. of flipping and you could still smell the garlic very easily! I'd really like to try the Crawfish formula of Kick n' Bass because, if it's anything like the garlic, Moby Dick may succumb to my flipped baits!!
Thank You,

I have been fishing Joe Pool lake here in Texas since it opened, and almost exclusively for the past five years(with the exception of a few trips each year to our other great Texas lake, Lake Fork.) I'm a licensed guide on the lake, submit regular Joe Pool fishing reports on the Bass Fishing Home Page and recently joined the staff of Outdoor Times as a staff member responsible for a monthly column about Joe Pool. I've always believed in scents, but am really impressed with your Kick'n Bass product. I've used nothing else since your product hit the market and I'm absolutely convinced it has made a big difference in both the number of bites and my bite/catch ratio. Keep up the good work!

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YA'LL BUT THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN SUPER HOT & THE FISHING HAS NOT !!!!!!!! BUT THANKS TO Kick'n BASS I HAVE NOT ONLY BEEN ABLE TO PUT FISH IN THE BOAT BUT ALSO MONEY IN MY POCKET !!!! THANK YOU SCIENTIFIC BASS FOR SUCH A TRULY FINE PRODUCT !!!!!!!
I am totally impressed with how long the attractant stays on the lure after it has been applied. It doesn't seem to take very much either In fishing several tournaments on the ABA circuit, I have consistently outfished my partner in the same boat. The only difference in what we are using has been the Kick'n Bass Attractant vs. the "paste type" that he is using. You have made a believer out of me and I'll be happy to recommend your product to anyone who isn't fishing against me in a tourney.
