Weird New Sonic Lure Caught Fish Like Crazy! By Lyman Walton, Co-Inventor As Told to Paul Stag, The Weekend Fisherman Think of it! My new VIBRATING LURE gives bud, GUR GLING, SPLASHING, BUBBLING sounds as you skitter it along the surface of the water! Sends out up to 200 vibrations every minute underneath that water! Looks COMPLETELY UNLIKE ANYTHING THAT ANY FRESH WATER FISH HAS SEEN BEFORE. , J j a And has already used this weird sight and weird sound and weird sonic vibrations in one of its very first Summer trials to lure fish into attacking it so savagely that they actually knocked it out of the water. Hauled in trout, bass, muskie, walleye, and pike, even when other lures had caught little or no fish right next IV TW II er o vutty CAUGHT! 120 FISH IN ONE HOUR! Yes ! ImiiKine that YOU were there at Cattail Luke,. Illinois,- on- August 20, 11)61. A hot summer day! A beautiful stream-fed pond 90 by 60 feet wide Fishermen trying lures, Hies, natural bait! But despite the fact that this is a stocked trout farm with no limit, there is only an occasional strike. It looks like a wasted day ! ... And then, three die-hard friends de cide to try their luck with me! We start to cast from the edge of the water At the end of our lines is an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LURE a weird little metal monster that casts like a bullet, und flutters back through the water like a drowning bnt!

All WITH the very same weird little lure that can go to work for you next week, without your risking a penny ! WHAT'S THE SECRET? UNDERWATER SONIC uiRQTinM; Why did this bat-shaped lure catch fish by the stringer-full even after ordi nary lures, and natural bait have caught little or nothing? For this simple rea son Because this lure gives off unique GURGLING, BUBBLING, SPLASH ING SURFACE NOISES plus up to 200 sonic vibrations every minute under neath that water that I believe FISH FIND IRRESISTIBLE! Yes ! I am certain that sonic pulsations are the answer to every fisherman's prayer. I have studied the Navy Fish Biologist reports about the sounds fish make between themselves in the water! I have seen fish follow the propellers of a boat as though they were hypnotized by the sound ! And I have always believed that if I could take those gurgling, bubbling, splashing surface sounds and under water vibrations that actually seemed to CALL FISH TO THEM and build that sound into a "Vibrating Lure" then it could haul in eye-popping catches, even where ordinary lin es had rautrht little or nothing at all! Even in hard-fished waters where the wise old fish run away from ordinary lures! JUST READ THESE FISH CATCHING ACHIEVEMENTS! TRY IT AT OUR RISK! Yes! Research showed me that lures, like fish, create Sonic Vibrations in the water bv their movements! So I have designed a' lure that 1 estimate FLUTTERS Tlllltwr.lt THAT WATFR UP TO 21)0 TIMES A MINUTE!
