RonZ = The Penetrator. Same lure, different owner. |

When I decided to sell the RONZ to bait & tackle dealers the commercial fishermen were quite upset. They knew the secret bait wouldn't be a secret anymore. I tried to console them with the fact that they did not have to lie about what bait they were using anymore. All I received in reply was a look of disappointment, as if I had betrayed them. I didn't have a name on the RONZ back then, but it did have a few nicknames. The secret bait was the first, then it was the Penetrator for a online tackle company in N.Y. They quickly realized that customers were very unhappy about the pop-up advertisements they were receiving after using the search engines to find the penetrator. The wife wasn't too crazy about that name either. Then there was a group of fishermen from R.I. that called it the holy grail. I kind of liked that one. But then I received a phone call from a priest that fished who told me how wonderful my baits are and how he catches fish like crazy with them, but felt I should not call it the Holy Grail. I explained to him the name was not my doing and I would consider his request. That was about the time the secret bait was officially named the RONZ.
