Here is Toni with her big bass.
My
partner and I used Kicknbass yesterday in a tournament. We had a pretty good
day, but lost 12 fish at the boat before I realized they weren’t holding on
to the bait long enough to get a good hook set. One was over 7, one was around
6 and two at 5 pounds. The others were 2 and 3 pounders. We were flipping
cattails and stick-ups in real shallow water. The
fish were just taking the bait and not moving with it or slapping it and
moving on. I suddenly realized that I hadn’t put the scent on the bait. I
put it on my bait and immediately went to putting the fish in the boat and was
culling in less than 30 minutes!!!
I had 6 bass in the boat before my partner had another hit. He put it on and
we started catching them like wildfire. It was at that point that a cable on
the trolling motor snapped and we were out of business. I feel we could have
won that tournament had the cable not snapped with almost 4 hours left in the
tournament!

We are thrilled you have let us wear your team tournament shirts while we participate in this years BFL Cowboy division.I use your scents you send me EVERY TIME I go fishing and I always try to give out the samples to all anglers I come across. I also make it a habit to furnish a couple of bottles for door prizes along with your cards. I totally believe in your products.Want to tell you a story about a couples circuit my husband Don and I fish. I know your familiar with Lake Conroe here in Texas. It is a tough lake most every time you go. I had donated two bottles of Kick'n Bass as a door prize and a young couple there won it. When they came into the weigh in they stopped us and made the statement that they could not get a bite and by 11 am were very discouraged.
Jennifer told John to try the scent products they won and to make a long story short, they won the tournament with over 17 lbs!!! Don and I came in second with almost 16 lbs I think and the weights fell very fast after that. Theyare totally sold like we are.Team Kick'n Bass Gals will proudly be wearing our shirts and caps and if no-one has thanked you lately to include me, BIG THANKS! I hope someday you get rich cause you have certainly helped put some spending money in some of us.Hey, you need to have a Kick'n Bass tournament in Mexico for your Pro staffers. Would make for an interesting tournament since we all believe in and use your scents!Well, take care and as soon as we receive our shirts we will send you a group picture as well as keeping you informed of our tournament results. Hope you will call when ya make a trip down here to Texas.

Caught on Lake Hamilton Hot Springs, Ar.
When I caught this striper there was a guide 200 feet from me with 3 paying customers that wasn't catching anything. They were having a fit watching me haul in this big fish in. ( can I keep him) I heard them telling the guide they been fishing almost 3 hours and haven't had a bite.
I caught this fish about 5 minutes after I started fishing. After getting him in the boat I through lure back in the same spot caught this one 3 feet 4inches just minutes after it hit the water. I was using the Anise/Shad formula of Kick'n Bass®
They were giving the guide a hard time, still no fish for them. One of the fisherman asked if he could fish with me. I told the I was going home for the day.
Thanks, Marvin Burt to see this over 3 foot long Striper click here.
Hello from Canada, its the 2005 fishing season here and the walleye have been running since ice out back in the first part of April. We have been out on an average four days a week since, catching walleye on the average three to four pounds. But we have also been boating some trophy's in the eight-nine and ten pound range. These breeders get a picture and back into the river they go. We do a lot of vertical jigging with different plastics in depths to 38 feet. I soak all my plastics with the Kick'n Bass® (Garlic), but have found the walleye likes the Kick'n Bass® (Walleye) scent. I have had guests on the boat who scoffed at using any scents and felt tipping their jig & plastic with a minnow was better and more productive, until my technique and rigging and use of Kick'n Bass® (Walleye) or (Garlic) fills everyone's limit. Then they want to try some. Don't be afraid to put a dab of the scent on live bait it really works. I have used Kick'n Bass® since 1998 and have tested it against other popular scents on the market. Do I believe its a confidence thing "of course" I do, do I use it to mask my scent on the bait and line and covering contaminants in the water " sure I do". Have I proven over and over again throughout the years that Kick'n Bass® works my catch ratio out fishing has proven that time and time again. Kick'n Bass® helped me win the title of Angler of the Year in 2004 and Rookie of the Year again in 2004. If you fish for the walleye get some Kick'n Bass® (Walleye) or (Garlic) scent and find out for yourself. Thanks Ken and Kick'n Bass® for making my time on the water more productive! Respectfully Willis "SNAGMAN" Beam Independent Field Tester
21MAY05 my partner Willis "SNAGMAN" Beam and I was registered for a Northern Pike Tournament, held by the JackFish Lure Company here in Canada. Both Willis and I have been long time users of all the Kick'n Bass® products and we find the Garlic scent and the Anise/Shad works the best for us. We both will switch to the CrawFish scent when the bite changes. Walleye Scent well that's held especially for the walleye and its really good. Back to the tourney, we motor into Crystal Bay a well known hangout for Northern Pike, we started throwing bucktails and spoons coated with Kick'n Bass® (Garlic) it wasn't long before we had five small pike in the boat, but no signs of any big boys. Willis kept throwing the bucktails and I switched over to a buzzbait and I really soaked it good with the Kick'n Bass® (Garlic). Willis was up in the front of the boat watching a storm front moving in and was just saying we better get ready to make the run to the marina, when the water erupted like a volcano and a big pike was tearing my buzzbait to pieces. Ten minutes later in a steady downpour of rain we netted the pike and it was thirty-four inches long and weighed eleven and one half pounds. We revived the tired fish by the boat and once it realized it was free with a big splash it swam off into the weeds. We hurried securing everything down the rain was coming down harder and Willis seen lightening off in the distance. We made it safely back to the marina and trailered the boat just as the lightening and thunder passed over with winds gusting over 60mph. Well the end result was I won the tournament and I strongly believe that it was the buzzbait and the trail of Kick'n Bass® (Garlic) that called that big pike in. Willis & I are well known in this part of Ontario as Independent Field Testers for the Angling Industry and everyone knows our secret weapon is the Kick'n Bass® products. Even if we get lures pre-scented we always soak them in Kick'n Bass®. This is from a woman's perspective and a woman angler who knows Kick'n Bass® works.
Ken,
I have found that I can soak a jig overnight in KNB garlic scent (I use a
plastic bag so my whole garage won't smell like garlic) and for the first
few hours of fishing it has an incredible strong odor, even leaves sheen on
the water. I feel like this gives me an advantage as I have pulled into
areas where there are other boats, with all the guys fishing jigs and catch
twice as many as they do. I re-apply often throughout the day. That
garlic scented KNB gives me an advantage, especially in the spring....
Thanks for making the best scents in the world!!!

I just recently fished my fist B.A.S.S. tourney in Maryland on the Potomac River it was a tough day of fishing right up to the moment I added your product. The fish were biting so softly you didn't know they were there. That all changed with Kick'n Bass, the fish not only bit harder they did not want to let go. Thanks to Kick'n Bass I had a ninth place finish and a great start in the Bassmasters Series Northeast Division. Hi John... got to start using KNB the night before the big tournaments... soak your tubes or worms in Tupperware bowls and hook them on while they are dripping wet with KNB... Some won't even hit the bottom before you get hit. We always soak our worms. If you mix colors they will bleed into each other so only one color to a container or baggie. Good luck in your next T> cosmic>
Hi Ken, I don't know if you remember me, but I was the guy who called you 5 years ago when I was living in Chicago. I ordered my first bottle of Kick'n Bass directly from you. Let me tell you, I have been a Kick'n bass nut since then. I never go fishing without it. You talked to me for 30 minutes or so on how to use the product. You also ask me to call you back to see how I had done. I am sorry that it has taken so long for me to get back with you(5 years) but I have been to busy catching fish with your product. This stuff really works. Everyone who fish with me leaves my boat saying "I gotta get some of that stuff. Thanks for making a find product!! Hi Larry.... weren't you the guy we sent out for coffee while we were in our duck blind? Seems to me the other duck hunters froze to death waiting for that warm Starbucks cappuccino.... Oh well... better late then never. Glad you are still Kick'n Bass after all this time. Thanks for the post.
I decided to try your product last weekend even though I am loyal to Jacks Juice Fish Attractants. After using your products for a few hours and not getting any action I had to go back to my trusty Jacks Juice. I caught 4 fish in 30 minutes weighing 12 pounds. I just wanted to give you an honest assessment of your product compared to the best. Thanks for the post Bob. Glad the water warmed up in the afternoon so the fish bite started. :-}
Hello Ken, Well the 2003 Bass Season is over. the boat is wrapped and winterized and I wait anxiously for Spring 2004 to arrive. Since 1998 when Paul Duclos introduced me to Kick'n Bass®, I have been faithful to your scents. I have read and been involved in many of the controversies over the scent/attractant issues. But I will say this from my own personal experiences and usage Kick'n Bass® will work if a person uses it. Yes it can smell.. Yes if some precautions are not taken it can be messy. But so can't catching a 20 pound musky. They smell and are very messy if it comes in contact with the boat carpet. Anyway I digress. I ended the season of 2003 field testing some new lures etc and on one specific tube I caught my biggest smallmouth bass to date @ 6.90lbs. The tube was soaked in Kick'n Bass® (Garlic) and the bite that day was pretty tuff for Lake St Clair. But I found that smallie laying in the weeds as I brought the tube along the out side edge. Also my fiancé' Sherry Lynne she took Rookie of the Year honors with a lure company here in Canada and set some new records for their field test team and she too added Kick'n Bass® to her arsenal of fishing equipment. All in All she ended up with eight smallies weighing in over 5lbs and has pictures of a 20 plus pound musky where she coated the big monster lure with Kick'n Bass® (Anise/Shad). During the fall feed I switched over to walleye fishing to fill the freezer for the coming winter months and using Kick'n Bass® (Walleye) I out fished two of my three fishing buddies using artificial baits while the one tipped everything with live minnows. I also went to tipping live bait but added a little KNB (Garlic) and caught the biggest walleye of my life so far. So my confidence in Kick'n Bass® is as strong as the (Garlic) smell itself. So I look forward to 2004 and the hunt for the big fish here in Ontario! Thanks to you and to Kick'n Bass® Willis "SNAGMAN" Beam
I HAVEN'T GOT TO USE ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS UNFORTUNATELY BUT I'M JUST TELLING YOU ABOUT MY LUCK ON THE BAIT I USE TO HELP OTHERS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO USE SOME OF YOUR PRODUCTS THANK YOU AND I HOPE SOME PEOPLE WILL TAKE MY TIP AND USE IT
Hello Ken and all you fishing people!
I found KNB by searching for a "bass scent" on Google's search engine. In short I found this site.
I emailed your company with the typical questions like "what scent do I need if I know for sure shad are all over the lake I frequent?" and " why can't I just buy it straight from you instead of a dealer?" etc. All my questions were answered readily and in fact one day after I SENT this in an email --- "I just won't be sure which scent to use. There are shad in this lake I fish but not sure if I ever saw any licorice in it. Garlic? Not sure. Crayfish? Possible, but still not sure." --- I got this REPLY --- "There is no garlic or licorice in ANY lake... there is no ice cream growing from trees either,,, but we like it.... fish like the flavors we make... why is another question that could be debated for 100 years." --- The next day I actually got a call from Ken himself! He told me to go with GARLIC!
So I went with GARLIC. I placed my order through Bass Pro Shop's online catalog. It was a bit expensive paying $8.95 to ship a 4 oz. bottle of "testimonials" and the snail mail Bass Pro Shop uses is a bit too much for my patience but eventually I got the KNB in my hands.
The package arrived about an hour before I had to go into work but impatient me had to run a quick trial of it at my favorite hole beforehand.
It was a hot, 90% humidity day. Nearly 2 in the afternoon and I'm rushing to this lake with the scent already spilled into my favorite bag of plastics. Keeping a sharp eye on my watch I count down the time I need to leave so I could still ready for work and be on time to bore the girls there with my fishing success. All this time I keep singing, "C'mon Kick n Bass" ", "Catch us some fishes" while sporadically working my worm with it's dab of new scent.
Oh my goodness, I need to be at work for 3 and it's after 2:30! I didn't get a nibble yet!
By 3 p.m. I'm leaving the lake late for work and I have no stories for the girls. I smell from sweat and GARLIC and need a shave and shower, so by the time I get to work I'm a hour late and bummed I threw my cash away. I was even perceiving the KNB was a deterrent to the prey I was after and instead it really only attracted the attention of panfish (they came near but wouldn't nibble) and all the buzzing, flying buggers that seemed to fly right into my face. They never did that before. I blamed this stinky Italian restaurant scent I bought!
The next day I was determined to not be skunked on both ends so I opened up that KNB and OOZED a whole lot more into my worm bag, being sure I really got this stuff covering my plastics. I headed back down to my lake with a day HOTTER than yesterday and almost as HUMID. It was nearing 11:30 a.m. MIDDAY! IN AUGUST! This time when I took my worm from the bag to rig it I see there's KNB literally "dripping" from this thing and my fingers were having a difficult time pushing a hook through this slippery sucker.
My first through fourth casts were all done within a 5 minute period and I had to remind myself to slow it down, it's hot. I remembered yesterday I was more worried about work and I'm sure my finesse fishing suffered greatly from this not to mention me being stingy in applying the KNB. This time I wanted to cover all the bases and come out winning.
The fifth cast felt a telltale nibble. I paused. Felt a nibble again and with a snap of my wrists I pull a wormless hook and sinker back. Something surely swallowed that worm and it felt good!
Okay, I rig up another wet, drippy worm and try again. I even went slower this time. Working each cast about 5-8 minutes. All of a sudden...tick, tick BAM! I hooked an 8 incher! WhooHoo No more skunking me!
I weighed all the environmental differences and concluded it was a tiny bass that would bite no matter what I threw. This scent was still inconclusive.
Then...
Next cast, same worm, still STINKING of KNB. WHAM! Another bass! This time maybe 10 inches. He lost my worm due to a stomach set. Had to cut the line to let him live and rigged another sloppy KNB soaked plastic.
Only a couple casts later another bass about a hair bigger than the second. I start counting fish now and it's not even noon on this HOT lake. I remember reading testimonial of people letting the bass take the bait with an open bail...I did this to this 3rd bass...it's true! Unfortunately it stomach hooks them so I stopped playing that game. As an aside, remember don't try to save a cheap hook when a fish swallows it...the fish is priceless...cut your line.
A fellow fisherman was cruising by in his kayak, asking how I was making out and I screamed from the SHORE, "I got three so far!" I asked how he was doing...He mumbled he was "doing' ok"
Back to my fishing soon found me at 5 bass. Now you need to know that 5 decent bass at my lake is a several hours long day of "work" I was in one spot near the shore and hooked 5 in less than an hour and a half!
I'm not done. Bass # 6 was the biggest! Easily 15 or more inches and over 2 pounds! Remember it was near 92 degrees and nearly as humid and one o'clock in the afternoon! Not even 10 minutes after this 2 pounder, BAM again! FISH NUMBER 7!!!
Seven fish in under two hours and all done from walking back and forth between 100 feet of shoreline using the same plastic worms I always use here but only this time I added my "secret" ... KICK N BASS!
When I phoned my fish partner my success he said catching 7 bass at our lake at this time of day in this heat is completely unusual...even weird.
I didn't tell him about using the KNB and I won't tell him...at least not yet. I want to see how riled he gets on those days we fish that he gets skunked and I "mysteriously" find the exact "holes" where the big ones are laying. Only after I torture him with my fishing prowess will I share the real truth to my success story...KICK N BASS!
Thanks for the phone call Ken!

Dear Ken,
A few months ago I ordered a bottle of Kick-n-Bass. You were kind enough to
send me 2 bottles—Bass Craw and Bass Garlic.
In August 2004, I took the Bass Garlic to fish at a lake in my hometown,
Pleasanton Kansas. This is a small community, about 70 miles south of Kansas
City. I grew up fishing this small lake, which is also the town water
supply. I know every inch of this lake! This year has proven to be one of
the toughest for catching Bass, as I’m sure you are well aware. Just when I
thought it couldn’t get any worse… I found the bottle of Kick-n-Bass in the
bottom of my tackle bag.
Well, to say the least…the rest is history! I caught over 75 Bass that day.
I was astonished that the product worked as well as it did on my first use.
This took my confidence to another level and I decided to enter my first
tournament in years. On September 11th, 2004, I fished a Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Super
Tournament (BFL) at Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri. Although I have
fished here in the past, with little success, I had a new level of assurance
since I was armed with my Kick-n-Bass!!
I entered as a co-angler, fishing only out of the back of the boat. I did
not have any say in where we were fishing—I was just excited to be there. The odds were stacked against me as the pro-angler had complete control.
This was a two-day super tournament and I needed to place in the top 20% in order to come back and fish the second day.
Thanks to Kick-n-Bass, I out fished BOTH of the pro-anglers! On the first
day, I took 6th place and on the second day, 4th. I was able to cash my
first winnings and I was ecstatic.
Although I would love to chalk this up to my outstanding abilities, I know
that my winning is partly due to your product. Simply put, it works and it
works well.
I would like to personally thank you and rest assured, I will continue to
use Kick-n-Bass in all my future endeavors. Like I mentioned, this was the<
first tournament I had fished in years, and it’s definitely not going to be
my last!
With many sincere thanks Andy Wiles, Gardner, KS 66030

You don't know how much fun I am having nor had doing this test. I love field testing...I don't know if it is scientific by how I do it but its the best way I know how. I even got a chance to talk up Kick'n Bass® to a local Bassmasters Pro and provided him with a bottle of (Garlic) KNB. And ran across a fella who fishes local tourneys here and gave him a bottle as well. I hope this is alright because it is the bottles you sent me in the spring. OH Yea I also grudgingly gave up my one KNB hat to a fella who is a local guide and he got all the little sample tubes you sent me! I do know for a fact at least four guys are now going into Michigan and buying KNB both for fun fishing and tourneys!

Subject: KNB and my first win
Dear Cos and KNB staff,
Thad Raines thought you guys would love to here my latest fishing
experience, so here it is.
I fished a small tourney at Hartwell in SC on April 12. Conditions were
lots of cool rain and cool temps all week leading up to the tourney. I
usually C-rig and T-rig with watermelon seed worms with chartreuse spike it
died tails. I fished these lizards off and on all day with only 2 short
fish and one small keeper. With 45 minutes left before weigh in my boater
stopped at a shoal close to deep water to fish his spinner bait in the
flooded grass. I had squirted some Kick'n Bass Garlic into a new bag of
lizards the night before because I did not have time to dip the tails.
After a number of casts with the spiked lizards and no takers, I changed to
one of the KNB covered lizards and caught a 3 pound spot on the first cast.
In the last twenty minutes of the tourney I boated 8 fish, all keepers. I
actually lost the biggest (about 5-6 pounds) when my boater knocked the
fish off with the net. When I started catching fish my boater switched
over to a Carolina rigged lizard just like mine, without KNB. My fish were
biting so lightly you could rarely detect the strikes and the fish I caught
just sat in place with the lizard in their mouth, or slowly swam away with
it. My boater only caught one, I offered him some of my lizards but he was
too proud. What a laugh!
note: I weighed in the only spotted bass of the 20 boat tourney. My 5 fish
weighed 11 pounds, and that was enough to take home my first place!
The Savannah BFL was on the lake the same day and I think their weights
were just a couple more pounds than mine! Thanks alot KNB!
I am trying to post this on the BFHP fishing tactics board, and again
thanks for the great experience!!!

I gave
KNB a good test last night, and it came through with flying colors. I put it in a container with a larger mouth, so I could put
the whole bait in it. I let it dry a few seconds, and put it to work. I tried your test, and let a couple of bass just run with it, and
you are right, they didn't drop the bait. It was a tough bite, but we boated
48 bass, fishing until midnight, and 33 of those came on a 3 inch grub on a 1/8th

The fish really grab hold of

Ken,
Thanks again for the products and the hat.
The last time we talked on the phone I mentioned that my "honey
hole" was still producing. Until last Tuesday when the water temp.
dropped to 44.0 degrees, it had "burped up"
443 Lbs. of Stripers.
All but eight were released. They all were caught with the aid of Kick'n Bass.
I never leave the dock without it.
Also, I will take the samples to
the boat and tackle show that we talked about, (I have a booth at same). I
will make sure that all anglers that are breathing will know about Kick'n Bass.
Stay well my friend and remember that we

Hi Ken:
Back in early summer you sent me a supply of KNB to try out on some of our
Canadian fish.
My first experience was with crappie and Berkley power tubes.
What do power tubes have to do with KNB? Here's the story:
I was fishing a local lake known for its good crappie
population. Although I was in an area I had previously caught many quality fish
from, I was unable to draw any bites on my Berkley 1" micro tube (my go-to
crappie bait). Other boats in the area were having the same problem- some
fishing live bait, others using various artificial.
After 15 minutes I dug out the bottle of KNB garlic I had in
the boat and gave the tube a squirt. WITHIN 10 SECONDS of the bait hitting the
water it was FISH ON! I had cast back to the exact area the bait had gone
untouched in for so long. Over the next 20 minutes it was one fish after the
other while all the boats in the are gradually closed in on me. But they still
couldn't draw a bite. We're talking about roughly a dozen guys all fishing
within a few boat lengths of me. Every time I gave the tube a squirt they
strained their eyes trying to see what I was doing different from them. I just
pointed at my KNB hat. Ha!
I decided to try an experiment and tied on a new tube without
applying KNB. Guess what? No action whatsoever. I was sure the school had moved
on.
Add a few drops of KNB and the action picked up right where
it had left off. I would not have believed it.
I've attached a photo of a
couple of the better fish I caught that day. (Click Link)
I've had similar experiences with the garlic and craw scents on bass baits-
drastically out fishing guys in my boat who were using the same lures and
presentations, but without KNB. I'll try and get some photos off to you
when I get them- going to a big bass lake in the area next week.
I've also attached a copy of an article in a regional
newspaper featuring yours truly in my trusty KNB hat. By the way, it's taken
quite a beating from being worn so much. Do you have any more kicking around you
could part with? I wouldn't mind a fresh one for the sports shows coming this
winter.
Thank you. Tom Lusk.

Subject: Hi Ken & Kick'n Bass staff
My name is Terry Arnold , I own Mountain
Top Bait & Tackle shop's here in Nova Scotia , Canada. I have been a
retailer and user of your product for 4 yrs now. But the reason I am writing you this note is to let you know that On Sat. May 18th my
bass partner and I won our opening bass tournament of the year with a
weight of 12lbs and 13 oz's for 5 fish including a 20 inch 3 lb 9 oz
lunker. We both use Kick'n Bass that day and our closest team was only
at 8 lbs even. Just to say thanks for a great product

Ken,
I thought I'd send you a picture of a Kick'n Walleye caught Walleye. The three
pics attached are all of the same fish, a 7.7 lber that ate a spoon covered in
Kick'n Walleye. I lost the other fish that ate the bait that day, it was about
the same size.
Both of these fish hit within 5-15 minutes of applying a fresh coating of scent.
It's really interesting to notice the difference in the way these fish hit with
scent applied. It was almost like they were sucking, or tasting the bait rather
than smacking it out of aggression or reflex.
Thanks for the great scent, Kick'n products are the best!!!

Subject: Use of Kick'n trout
I just used the product under tough conditions. I was at the Ausable River in Upstate New York with 30 to 42 degree air temp with 32 degree water temp snowing and sleet. I sprayed the potion on my worms and boy I was surprised. When my pals where were not getting any strikes fishing next to me I caught my limit. The next day I out fished them Three to one. I can not wait to use the bass scent. This stuff works.
Thanks, Lou Buonincontri, Valley Cottage NY

My wife and I fish a local weekly tournament on a small lake [15HP max]. We got our first two bottles of
Kick'n Bass yesterday. One crawfish & one garlic. We never got to use the garlic, because the fish loved the crawfish. We
won the
tournament & also big fish. I find your product to be much superior to the cheap water based scents on the market. We also fish the Guys & Dolls Couples
Tournaments & are looking forward to
using your scent in our next tournament on Lake Murray [S.C.] If you have any patches, etc. we'd like to put them on our shirts.
