It’s been an impressive couple of weeks for Topeka-based Top Secret Jig Co. and its pro fishing staff.
Ryan and Howard German took third place last Saturday at a single-pole Crappie Masters event on Lake Fork, Texas, with a total of seven fish weighed for 13.57 pounds to take a $2,250 payday. Fellow Top Secret team Frank Haidusek and Mark McClure took fifth with seven fish for 12.12 pounds, tallying a $950 prize.
The week before at the Crappie Anglers of Texas Crappiefest, which was also on Lake Fork, Missouri resident David Harley caught the $12,500 big fish — a 3.07-pound white crappie — to win $12,500 on a Top Secret jig.
“Yeah, I’m really proud of all my pro staff guys,” Top Secret owner Brandon Manis said. “One of my teams, (Chad) Nugent and (John) Wood, won that Lake Fork tournament last year using Toad Tamers. Really excited for all our local tourneys to get going for my local pro staff teams. Took on a some newer tournament teams, and I look forward to seeing them learn and progress.
“On the Crappie Masters side, good placings is a ton of exposure. I don’t advertise, the baits sell themselves.”
