I bought one of those about 4 yrs. ago because I knew it would work great. Especially on days for those finicky bites when the fish play the old pick and drop...pick and drop game. The guy at the sport show let me thread a few worms right on the spot to get the hang of it first. After a quick lesson I purchased one immediately. That was 4 yrs ago and to this day I have no Idea what the heck I ever did with it.

Maybe the guy in the booth had a string tied to it and pulled it from my pocket when I walked away.

Thanks for bringing this thread up cuz I'm gunna?order me another one tomorrow.

Great!  ;D I just talked with the owner of this product two days ago. We had a long talk and he said exactly what you said. There was interest in this when it was on the market. The inventor put it on the back shelf because he was too busy with other things and apparently this new guy has picked it up again and is determined to get it out there this year. When I first learned of it it wasn't clicking and then I got one in my hands and saw how it actually works and now it makes perfect sense. I am going to have to give it a go this year.

i never heard of this or seen it before.   Seems like such a simple device.  I may have to order one too as I pretty much use crawlers all summer.

It seems like it would definitely have it's time and place.

Well, I finally got off my can and ordered 2 Rig'r Probes. I said I was going to order one in April. Of course I say I'm going to do a lot of things. Just ask my wife. But better late than never, that's what I tell my wife.

Even talked to the Rig'r Probe Dude last week and my order should be in by Mon or Tues.

I'll be sure to give you guys a consumers report as soon as I use it. That's the hard part for me is opening the package and using something different.

You know that old saying: "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

Then there's always: " Don't argue with success"

For those of you waiting for my review, remember: "Better late than never"
