Dan Dannenmueller gives Stubby Steve's his approval....

We'd like to thank Mr. Dannenmueller for his incredible testimonial using our Stubby Steve's Fish Food Pellets.... Not only is he an amazing fisherman, he's also the perfect gentleman and someone we're very proud to call a good friend.....

"I have been using the Stubby Steve’s Baits for almost a year now.  It is phenomenal crappie bait that is extremely effective.  It entices crappie to bite with a trail of scent and once they do bite they hang on to the bait longer which increases your catch rate at least 10 to 1 better than without it.  I use it in conjunction to using minnows and it will hold the minnows on the hook even after catching several fish and bites.  We have found the catch rates to greatly exceed Gulp and Crappie Nibbles and stay on the hook up to a full day at a time.  What a great product and we will continue using it while on the Crappie Tournament Trail!!!!"

Dan Dannenmueller Sr. is a two-time Points Angler of the Year for both 2011 and 2012 on the Crappie Master’s tour.

Brand new pinks!

At the Crappie USA Classic a couple of weeks ago, we were talking with some of the fishermen while watching the weigh-ins.  Several of them asked us to make our Fish Food Lure in pink.  They said that is their favorite color if they were forced to choose.   So........ less than one week after the conversation, here it is! 

We were playing around with different shades, trying to arrive at the perfect color.  Steve chose two to try.  Everyone argued about which was their favorite when he brought in the finished product.  We even asked some well-respected professional crappie tournament fishermen which we should make.  We were told we just had to make BOTH (for different water conditions).  So, at least for now, here is "Light" pink and "Dark" pink pellets and worms.   They are gorgeous!  We threw out a couple pellets in a trout stream near us and immediately the pellets were gobbled up after a frenzied splashing of trout! :) 

When I next go fishing (Stacy), I'm using a 3 inch BLACK worm tipped with a brilliant PINK pellet.  Don't know which pink just yet, lol. 

Fishermen fishing!

We truly appreciate fishermen who send us photos of their catches using our lures.  Here is a nice wiper caught by Scott using our Original Brown Fish Food Pellet.  Thank you, Scott!  He loves our lures and actually sells them on his online store:  http://www.hoosierpondpros.com/

"BLACK" - our newest color!

We listen to the professionals in the industry we meet while at a conference or on a fishing trip.... a lot can be learned from the guys who have been in the trenches.  We were told that "black" is some fishermen's favorite color to use.... especially at dusk.  We listen, we invent, and then we go fishin'!

I had four bites after four casts and then decided to do the "catching" a little better.....

We've had great success with these!  They are another great color to add to our arsenal of fish food lures!  Of course, we're making the pellets, crawfish, shrimp and creature baits in black, as well.

Caleb's 27 inch long Rainbow!

Caleb and his Dad (from Tangent Outfitters in Pembroke, VA) tried out our Original Brown Pellet.  He did an amazing job getting the fish in quickly and said, "this is the biggest trout I've caught in my entire life"!  Ours, too!

Fishing with new Fish Food Pellet colors and new Fish Food Worms!

New 4 inch Fish Food Fishing worms!

Our 3 inch worms are doing so well we decided to make them a little longer for the bass and redfish fishermen....
John - and Official Field Tester from FishHound told us: "I thought this product worked very well for small mouth bass there could be a better selection of colors but over all they work very well in the types of shallow waters i fish".   He didn't have the new "Lightnin' Bug" color!

Fish went crazy over this new color!  One fish even held on for 19 seconds before letting go...

BRAND NEW LURES: "WHITE" PELLETS AND "LIGHTNIN' BUG" CHUBBYS

Two brand new lures added to our product line.  We listen to fishermen....

"Lightnin' Bug" Chubbys

"White" Fish Food Fishing Pellets

The latest testimonial from FishHound official field testers:

"This product was alot smaller than I imagined, but for it being so small, it still got more bites than lures alone. I just wish it was a little bit bigger. I think it could work even better if it were combined with some red food coloring, to make it look like blood." Joesph

Thank you, Joesph.  We already thought about it and think you'll be pleased.....

You've never fished with a worm like this!

A new site to help introduce our new Fish Food Fishing Worms!  They are made with the same proven formula as our original brown pellets... just in the new shape and all three (maybe four, hint, hint, hint....) colors: "True Earthworm Brown", "Blood Red" and "White"... and "          "(can't say just yet)!  They still have the same stay-on-the-hook-all-day durability as our other lures.  Fish were chasing these like crazy when we filmed a video fly fishing for trout.  The chum trail is immediate and unbeatable.  The lasting scent, well... lasts like it should!  A knowledgable tournament fisherman told us he tells everyone, "try to get it off your hook... you could beat it against a rock and you might bend your hook but you're NOT getting the Stubby Steve's off!".

121 bluegill caught in 15 minutes using only 4 Stubby Steve's Original Fish Food Pellets

"From this location we once sampled and some relatives (4 – 1 adult and 3 10-12 yr olds 2 who had never fished) using worms were catching about 1 bluegill per minute for about 10 minutes. I got out the Stubby Steve’s and they started catching bluegill as fast as they (I) could unhook them and put it back in the water. On 4 Stubby Steve’s pellets (one each) they caught 121 bluegill in 15 minutes. Then we stopped because my hands were torn up as I was the hook remover, pic taker and condition analyst." Eric West on Pond Boss Forum

Firtst time fishing with new STUBBY STEVE'S "BLOOD RED" PELLETS

This was quite a successful adventure! The size of the Rainbow is unbelievable (compare it to Steve's thighs).  We're guessing it weighed ~12lb because we earlier weighed a smaller fish at 10lb and this one is MUCH bigger!   The "Blood Red" is brilliant in the water.  WATCH THE RAINBOW JUMP OVER THE GOLDEN TO GET TO OUR LURE!

Ethan's letter

We live for lovely surprises like this letter Crappie USA sent to us.  This little man has a red hat, decal, and a package of Stubby Steve's already in the mail to him.  This is what it is all about,... getting the kids out fishing.   Thank you, Ethan, for taking the time and consideration to send this. 

Newest FishHound Official Tester Testimonial

FishHound Testimonials

Testimonial by Captain Darrell Van Vactor, President/CEO Crappie USA and Cabela's King Kat Trail

"Having worked in the fishing business for over 25 years it takes a lot to impress me when talking about new fishing products. During the past two months four of our employees and myself have been fishing Stubby Steve's for crappie, shellcracker, bluegill and channel catfish. Knowing well the importance of scent and having used Power Bait and Gulp for years when fishing for these species my employees and I are overwhelmed at the effectiveness of Stubby Steve's. One pellet will last longer than a jar of Power Bait product and catch as many or more fish whether fished alone on a bare hook or tipped on a jig. When anglers try this product they will never go fishing without it. It is truly the best scented bait I have ever used."
