new Lindy River Rocker plugs

Introducing the New Lindy River Rocker The River Rocker runs and tracks true in river or tailrace currents! A great crankbait for trolling even at higher speeds. Lindy’s River Rocker has a curved profile and streamlined shape that produces a wide rocking wobble. Whether it is cast or trolled, this exaggerated action will draw strikes from a variety of species.
Designed and built for performance right out of the box, the extremely versatile River Rocker is often cast, flat-line trolled or used with downriggers, but it truly shines when utilized in fast-running waters.


The River Rocker comes in two sizes – The #3 series is a 3/16oz (2-3/8 inches) and the #5 series is a 5/16oz (3-1/8 inches)

From a marketing standpoint you should probably include a contest or free giveaway in your one and only post to a forum whereby you are pimping your gear. You could also buy ad space. You'll come across as more authentic, not as a spammer. Plugs look good though. Send me some so I can test them plunking.

I'll take some for trial too. I'll even wear one of your Tshirts when I document it.

Just spreading the good word Stickfisher! If people want a contest we can do that. If you want to enter just post "im in". Then at the end of the day I'll pick a 5 or ten posts at random and ship out some plugs!

Sound good?!

Nothing like shameless promo's

I would like to test the pink one,in both sizes if you need some west coast testing done...I would wear one of your hats while testing also...

im in

Cool colors and paint. Looks like Bob already endorsed Lindy fishin tackle also.

im in, too

This is more like it. As a Marketer and a fisherman, I'm on your side. I'll even go like your Facebook page and send out a Tweet

I've used your gear many times when I used to live in Michigan and fished for walleye.

I never win anything but I'M IN. The pink plugs look yummy.

All in

Are they rattlers? look like good hooks EWG?

i'm in for some free plugs hopefully!

thanks for putting this on!

I'm in. I'd like to test them against Tadpollys. They look similar. which we use around these parts when pulling plugs for steelhead.

I'm in.Good luck,
SZ

I would love to try them,as soon as the side drifters start showing up down here on the Ump! I'm in.

im in...would love to test them out!!! I plunk and pull hot shots for salmon and steelhead.. would like to see if these work just as well or better..

Iam In

i am in

I'm in... and they do look a lot like Tadpollys, but with some funky colors. I like the couple of striped ones with some sort of silver in the middle.

Yes

"im in"

Im in.

Sky Guy is IN

I'm in, it would give me an excuse to get out on the water a little more as the tests need a variety of conditions. (She'll buy that).

I will announce the winners tomorrow A.M. some time around 10. In the mean time its time to rest up for the R&D trip out to the river tomorrow A.M.

Don't give em to Hank. Doesn't follow directions, too lazy to actually say "I'm in."

I'm in.

I'm in

I'm in.

I'm in for Stacy.

But I'll be OK with being randomly selected for a shameless plug.....

"im in"

Look good.

I'm in.

I'm in. . .

I like some of the color combos.

"I'm In"

what a bunch of shameless ores
im'in

You're gonna need some feedback on how those plugs work on Oregon fish so count me in too!

I'm in
and if it wasn't so early...Sue would say "I'm in too"...

"I'm in" Hope it's not too late.

Drew

I'm in! Bet even I could catch something with one of those.

Count me in also do they have rattles in them? Pink is my color!!

Looks like a gotta' have-------I'm in.

A pic of my first catch on the River Rocker. Many more to come!

No Rattles in the River Rocker.... but who knows?? maybe some day

Just about to go through and pick out the winners!

Nice. That fish looks similar to the hatchery fish we catch in Nov/Dec.

You should totally give those plugs away to some hippie dude with a beard.

Heck ya...I'm in!

Late to the party, but let me get this straight. You came on here to promote some "new" plug and you want everyone to flock to your site and start buying?

4 posts and we're supposed to start sending you money? Are you a site supporter? Where's the love for all of us that have been here and been through everything here for so long?

Cut the BS and hand some of those plugs out along with some other swag and ask for a report.

Sweeeeet !!!!!!

Thanks for the trial plug and for stepping up the contest from 5 or 10 to 20.

Uhhh.............I'm pretty sure everyone is replying to this thread so dude can send out free plugs to some of them.

I say good on him for throwing this post up, and for giving 20 winners the opportunity to try out this new plug.

Can affirmative action get me on the list?

I just went ahead and ordered four in the color and sizes I wanted...


They look killer, thanks for the heads up.

PM sent. Thanks "ieatfish" for doing the drawing and expanding the winner's circle.

Sweet! Thank you very much.

Im am hoping to send all these out Monday afternoon. It would be awesome if i could get all the addresses by Monday morning.

good luck fishing to everyone and thanks for participating.

Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for the next Lindy giveaway. With Bob's blessing we will have another one coming up here in a month or so.

-mc

gee, figured I be a shoe in being first time poster, But thats alright . good karma to ya ieatfish for the give away.

Awesome! I'm excited to try them out. They look killer. I'll probably just go ahead and order up a few more as well. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to try em out for free. Maybe some lindy swag to the first PP member to land a fish on one and prove it with pics? just a thought.

Drew

Count me in. Trolling for lake trout in Lake Tahoe.

I checked out the plugs on your site and they look good. I especially like the eyes. Not sure of the colors though...except the pink one. What happened to plugs that were one solid color? Some of the best plugs I ever had were solid metallic blue or red. Unfortunately you can't find them any more (at least not tadpollys).

I am all for it. I dont think I can be giving 20 plugs away every week. Give me a couple weeks and Ill start beating the boss up to let me give out some more freebies.

Hey now Scott, you aren't the only one with a boat around these parts. haha. Sounds like a challenge, although you'll likely fish your plug long before I will. Dang Boeing has me pretty locked down.

Drew

Look for an upcoming review in Salmon Trout Steelheader. Yes, that is a shameless plug. Sue someone...but not me.

I've fished the Baby Rocker, and it pulls steady at....wait, read it in the mag.

Nothing but eastern trash gear. This is a NW forum... you know this, right? Your gear will not stand up to NW standards.

send some my way!
Lime Disease and Tullibee!

I'd see no problem gettin pics with those in their mouths!

I'M IN

I totally understand how someone would think that. Which is exactly why the River Rocker was designed to not only meet, but surpass the needs of the NW fisherman.

The River Rocker has a special designed hook hanger system that could stand up to most any abuse. Its pull point (split ring hanger) is directly connected via solid brass plating to the belly hanger (front hook) and maxed out our testing machine at over 100lbs! The back hook is also anchored via sonic welding to the same heavy duty brass plating, making the back hook every bit as sturdy as the front.

We also paid special attention to the paint needs in the NW adding a super strong UV dip coating to the River Rocker.

The body is beefed up and completely sonic welded as well. Making the River rocker, from split ring to back hook, one of the strongest and most durable lures in the NW.

Thanks for the question McMahon.

-mc

That is a lame assumption unless it was meant as a joke... The guy just donated product as an introduction and you haven't even seen one yet.




Someone else commented on the colors too; I see red, chartruse and pink. Some appear semi-translucent and they are treated for UV? I already bought some and if they work as well as they look, I will buy more for sure.




I think some struggle more than others in the manners and appreciation department. The operative word here should be "Thank You."

+1

I'm in too...

^Fixed it for ya.

ieatfish

Have you tested pulling the plug with a wrapped sardine? Also, do the plugs require tuning?

Thanks
Coho

Coho--I've tested a few of the plugs, and none of the ones I've had required tuning, but that is SOP for the Lindy Shadling as well--primarily a walleye bait. As a rule, you don't have to tune 'em. They run straight out of the package.

I don't know of anyone who has wrapped the Rocker--but that's just my experience. We'll have to wait and see what some of the guys do.

Like Mr.Jackson says

You really shouldnt need to tune the River Rocker. I dont think that anyone has tested them with a wrap, but Im planning on getting out on the river tomorrow. I will give it a shot and let you know how it goes.


-mc

Can't wait to receive my plug. I may just have to buy some locally before the weekend.

Steelie and other winners (** who got their address to me by Monday AM)...

The packages should be showing up sometime around the 20th. Keep an eye out for them.

Sorry dude, like I said I had not read the whole thread. Last time I do that and comment!

Fishy

SSF,

No problem! The offer for the hat still stands...

-mc

Nice!

cha ching! Thanx lindy!

Oh snap! Better tell the wife to check our mail box.

My box of goodies showed up yesterday!

Thanks Matt for Elton and the hat!

Enjoy the photo!

Glad you guys like like the looks of 'em! I hope they will be as successful for you as they have been for me.


-mc

Lookin' good. Got the plug and hat on Friday.

That photo of the various colors looks great. These things will undoubtedly be brat killers!

Thanks again!

Take look at the Lindy link in ieatfish's postings. Lindy handles the Beckman nets and Thill floats. Both good products and you can shop on-line.

Thanks Matt-----plug looks fishy and nice hat too. Fish on!

Those look good...I'm in!

I received my plug and hat last week and both look great. I really like the shape and finish on the plug, can't wait to try it out.

Thanks a ton Guys!

Chuck S.,

Keep an eye on the boards here around mid July. I will have another giveaway starting up then. It will be a little bit longer, but with better/bigger prizes!

-mc

I'm in!

Still haven't received my package... hopefully tomorrow? Wouldn't mind trying the plug out this weekend.

Drew

You really should add some of the new spinner rigs, Matt. I've had good luck with them on kokanee, and I'm thinking there are summerrun applications worth trying...

Drew,

Just got a call last night from FedEx about a package being destroyed in transit. They said it didn't have anything left inside the box so they trashed it. I am assuming that was your package. I will ship you out another and make sure you have it in time to take it for a swim this
weekend.


-mc

Drew doesn't even have an anchor...

Still waitin for mine too... impatiently! lol. If it comes before the weekend I'll be fishing with it.

GLU,

Check your PM inbox


-mc

Rock on, looks like it will be here some time Friday. Can't wait.

Thanks again for this opportunity!

I got my package with plug and hat safe and secure inside. The plug looks good even if its not solid metalic blue like I'd hoped. Can't wait to see what kind of action it will have (swimming and fishing). Thank you very much!

Still haven't gotten mine, but I'm pretty suspicious about its effectiveness.

[quote=McMahon]Still haven't gotten mine, but I'm pretty suspicious about its effectiveness. [/quote

You had to be chosen (at random) to win, sorry.

But keep an eye out for the next one coming soon, you can have another chance to see just how effective they are...for FREE!


-mc

...Believe it or not you can ship FedEx Ground from Arkansas to Hawaii

Thank you sir. Good on ya.

Drew

Just got my new anchor yesterday Aaron. haha. I'll do my best to hold on to this one longer than the last.

As I left the house today I had a nice package waiting for me. Inside was the golden shiner! Looks like an all around great plug. The eyes are incredible looking. I'll put it to good use very soon. Thanks for the beanie too.

Thank you,

Drew

Thanks Matt, Lime disease will soon put a hurtin to'm. Maybe I missed it but are any local shops going to carry these?

I don't know about the shops, but local distributors are carrying them. I'm pretty sure All Sports does...Matt will chime in at some point and give the full word.

Results yet Fella's? Might be gonna buy me some. Sure are purty.

Long time lurker here, first time caller...

So where does one buy these new magical plugs?

Fisherman's Marine should have them. It was my understanding they were going to stock. Don't know if they've gotten a shipment (or even if they ordered). I'm out of the loop but passing on what I remember from conversations during the testing I did for STS.

Fisherman's marine ordered them a few weeks back, and should have them in stock now. If you want a full selection of the plugs you can buy them online from our website

How bout Outdoor Emporium, Sportco, or Teds? Any of them gonna carry them? Oh and by the way I ran the Golden Shiner for a bit on Sunday. No fish "yet" on it but I was impressed at how straight and true she ran right out of the package and when the sun hit the gold on the sides it looked awesome! I was able to get great action from it even in water with little current. I ended up loosing a plug to a snag that day and am glad it wasn't the Lindy plug! I like it. Once it catches a fish it will get a name.

Drew

Side by side how close is one of these to a Tad?

What!?!? You don't even own a gear rod!!!




If he is in than I'm in. HEHE.

Could be one of those "closet" guys

Any feed back?

How did I miss this freebie? Dang.

I'm out so I'm not in this time.

I've been testing out the River Rockers 3/16th and the 5/16th, color Pink Shiner, for the last 4 weeks. They work every bit as well as my old tadpollys. I've caught pinks, silvers and a few kings on them so far. I haven't targeted steelies with them yet but I'm confident enough of them that I won't have any problem trying them for steelhead. I just started using the "coward" model on silvers in the lower Skagit and it's working great with a little pro cure anchovie gel on the belly so far. I would love a couple of different color profiles for the PNW though. A larger magnum size would be wonderful as well. If you're interested in making a few models for up here let me know.

Here's the pinks we kept last friday we caught on the 3/16th Pink Shiners down at red barn on the lower Skagit.

i just weighed both the "ROCKER " and the leathal "BW29 " plugs.

although i have not casted the Rocker it seems from the scales it may be abit light to cast with a baitcaster.


the Brad's wiggler i know is a easy caster with a baitcaster.



anyone cast the rocker from shore, say with 12# or 15#?

Three Rivers Marine has a good supply of them hanging on the pegs.

These are great looking plugs.

Anyone that says that they can get any range with a .28 oz plug, levelwind and 12 -15# is lyin'.
What's that, a dope scale ?

@brewer- How are you rocking the hook on the BW29? Are you using a 3 bead chain off the belly?

I casted them from shore off a spinning reel quite a few times. I've tried it with 10# braid on a bait caster. It worked OK.. not outstanding. I think the lighter design gives it a little more lively action.

Less weight means more action... generally



-mc

i use a either a big swivel in between the split rings, or a 4 bead chain. finished with a rvr sickle siwash.

i have not tried a blue wiggler like eyefish dude was sharing. i may try that also.

the rvr sickle is a must!
