Plocek's Secret Weapon Secures BASS Victory on Oneida
Posted by Joe Haubenreich on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 @ 07:13 PM
August 9 Syracuse, NY -- Congratulations to Secret Weapon
Prostaff Ron
Plocek, one of two anglers to share first place at the
August 2008
Champion's Choice Tournament. Ron gives a lot of credit to
Secret Weapon
spinnerbaits for his win. Here's how it happened....
After a strong first day and a decent bag the second, Ron
Plocek brought
just two bass to the scales on the third day of the BASS
Elite tournament on
Lake Oneida last weekend. He didn't think 5-10 was enough
for him to have a
shot of remaining first place. But as he sat in the hot
seat before the
crowd and angler after angler walked up and weighed in, no
one brought in a
bag that would knock him out of the lead. To his surprise,
he was still
there after the last angler left the stage!
Day One found Ron sitting atop the co-angler leader board
with 10-13 and a
4-5 largemouth that took big fish honors for the day.
On Day Two he struggled and dropped a few places, but
victory was still well
within reach.
However, by 2:15 PM on Day Three, with no fish in the
livewell, Ron was
sweating it. His boater, BASS Pro Richard Scherer, was
having an equally
difficult day. Fish were not active after two days of
extremely stormy
weather, nor were they hitting slow-moving bottom baits.
With the clock
ticking down, Ron needed a miracle!
The two anglers were over a grassy flat on Oneida Lake.
This is normally a
productive pattern, but they were finding no takers.
Retrieving his Secret
Weapon spinnerbait just across the top of the grass, Ron
let it drop into a
hole in the vegetation, and as he slow-rolled it back up a
3-pound
smallmouth bass smashed the lure. Into the livewell it
went, and his next
cast with a Zoom Speed Craw produced a 2-pound smallmouth
from the same
hole.
Those two fish turned out to be just enough to secure
first place for the
Liverpool, NY co-angler.
Ron considers himself a "power fisherman" but not a "speed
fisherman." He
prefers heavy baits and heavy lines, but when it comes to
spinnerbaits, Ron
says he get more hits when retrieving as slowly as he
possibly can.
"All the time I see people throwing spinnerbaits, and they
seem to have
just
one mode of retrieve -- steady, just under the surface.
They don't take
account the reel ratio or other factors that affect the
speed of retrieve.
Keeping a spinnerbait too high in the water column causes
them to miss a lot
of fish. I keep my bait near the bottom or ticking the
tops of the grass. I
often hang up, but many times when I rip my bait from the
grass I'll get
hit. This technique has been very successful for me."
Ron's spinnerbait of choice is the Secret Weapon
Quickstrike. "Their
vibration... your feel when using them is incredible. I
love 'em. The
Buzzrbaits are great, too; I've had lots of success with
them."
Does the brand of spinnerbait make any difference?
"You can't fish and do well without having a great
spinnerbait. Most
spinnerbaits out on the market don't run right out of the
package. Catch a
fish and get it out of tune, or if you pick up a little
weed on it, and it
won't run worth a darn. I never have the problem with
Secret Weapons,"
declares Ron.
In the end, Ron shared his first place finish with Jesse
Herbert, another
New York angler who matched his total weight of 23-07. The
two men shared
first and second place prize money. In addition, Ron
received $500 for the
tournament's biggest bass at 04-05.
In all trails but the co angler trail, a tie would be
settled by declaring
the winner who had either the biggest bag or biggest fish.
Ron had both
thanks to Secret Weapon spinnerbaits.
