By Joel Shangle | 11/10/2010 A bait-wrapped plug is one of the best Chinook baits on the West Coast, and Pautzke Pro Team member Troy Whitaker proved it when his sardine-wrapped Kwikfish accounted for the winning fish at the 15th Annual Middle Rogue Derby. Whitaker is one of several Pautzke Pros who have discovered the […]
By Terry Wiest | 10/06/2010 Many years ago when I was a kid my favorite trout bait was Pautzke’ Balls O’ Fire. Never a question as it always produced trout. Always looking for an advantage though I noticed the “egg goo” they used to sell which was a large jar of the egg runoff and […]
