Episode 952 The Marvelous Money Badger
Today's episode is called the Money Badger.
I wanted to get clever and call it something different. But it's all about Berkley's Money Badger! I am not sponsored by Berkley nor am I given a product. They are a market affiliate partner so if you buy Berkley tackle from my website I get a small commission.
This episode isn't about selling you. It is about a product that I have used the last two years that frankly blows my mind! When the Money Badger's creator Dan Spangler told me about this new crankbait I would fall in love with I was excited because Dan was excited! Not to mention the fact that he and his team designed, it so of course he's going to like it but will I?
Well to answer the question. Yes. Yes without a shadow of a doubt. I used to rely on Rapala's #7 Shallow Shad, a 14 Husky Jerk and a Flicker Shad for big falleye. Yes I said "fall eye" that's what many in the business call big fall walleye. Now mind you those three baits have helped me catch a ton of biggins. Fat 22 to 28 in marble eyes. A few of which I kick myself for not weighing. Just measuring length.
Well during the last two falleye seasons I started using the Money Badger. Oh I tried some of my other confidence cranks but I ended up going back to the Money Badger and caught a bunch of 20 to 29 inch walleye. By the way I should have weighed that 29 incher I caught last fall. It had to have been all of 11 pounds.
Am I trying to sell you on buying the Money Badger? No, it has become a confidence bait. I shared it with a friend and he caught a walleye on the first cast.
