 Mister Twister Shear Magic

A trolling motor weed/line remover

Finally!! Somebody has come up with a product to get rid of weeds and line before they can clog up our trolling motors!!

 

Shear Magic by Mister Twister truly is shear magic when it comes to keeping weeds and moss off just about any trolling motor. It's another Mister Twister marvel that delivers worry free power and performance as it slices through lily pads, moss, hydrilla, even fishing line.

 

Basically, Shear Magic is a trolling motor accessory; it fits on the housing, and two blades come up real close to the prop. As the prop turns it feeds the weeds; grass, coon tail, moss, what ever into the blades, and the blades just shear it right off.

 

By design, a trolling motor will pull your boat through the water until aquatic vegetation binds the prop. Mister Twister has found a way to solve this with Shear Magic. The Shear Magic's housing is made of UV protective Polypropylene. The Blades are manufactured from UV protective glass-filled nylon, the same material used in the construction of chainsaw housings. This renders them nearly indestructible.

 

It really didn't surprise anybody when, during the filming of the Shear Magic video, the film crew had to stop production to install Shear Magic on the camera boat. Its trolling motor had collected so many weeds it just couldn't stay up with the Pro's boat that was equipped with Shear Magic.

 

Shear Magic cuts through your boating frustration and gets you to where the fish are. With Shear Magic attached to your trolling motor, you literally cut right through moss, lily pads, and hydrilla beds instead of around the edges. For worry-free power and performance, experience Shear Magic from Mister Twister.

 

Installation Instructions:

Disconnect the trolling motor from the power source.
2. Insert the blades into the holder with the flat side of the blade to the inside.
3. Tap the blades with a flat screwdriver until they snap into the locked position.
4. Spread the holder and place on the trolling motor with the blades facing the prop.
5. Slide the holder toward the prop until the blades are approximately 1/8" away from the base of the propeller.
6. Insert the appropriate size bolts (included) and attach the lock nuts.
7. Spin the prop to ensure that the propeller is not striking the blades.
8. Once you are sure the prop will not strike the blades, tighten the locking nuts and secure the Shear Magic in place.
9. Once the bolts are tightened, the Shear Magic will provide worry-free performance.

Mister Twister Saltwater Piranha Fillet Knife

While the Saltwater Piranha  features 25% more torque and 15% more speed than most other electric knives, the real key to its cutting power is in the blade; hundreds of serrations will cut through just about anything.

Mister Twister Exude Curly Tail Grubs

Traditionally one of the best and still worth mentioning

The Exude Curly Tail Grub is molded with Mister Twister's Tuff-Flex Technology, a breakthrough in soft plastic lure technology that allows Exude lures to be both soft and tough. This huge innovation in soft plastic lure technology means fishermen finally can fish with lures that have a soft and natural texture, yet they are tough enough to stay on the hook cast after cast. 

 

Drop the Curly Tail Grub or any Exude lure in water, pull it out and feel it. It’s slimy... just like a bait fish. That slime coat is the Exude process. It’s releasing a scent trail in the water. While the Exude formula is complex, the concept is simple. Exude lures are made with fish food. That’s right... fish food. As if making Exude lures from fish food wasn’t enough, Mister Twister further distinguished Exude lures by seeing to it they began releasing this food as soon as they entered the water. This scent trail represents a huge breakthrough in fishing tackle technology. In fact, it has defined the next generation of soft plastic lures.

 

Is it any wonder these lures are so effective?

 

Fishing the Exude Curly Tail Gru

Everyone knows the Mister Twister Curly Tail Grub, rigged with a Mister Twister jighead is one of the most effective fishing lures ever. Mister Twister invented the Curly Tail Grub - the original Mister Twister  - more than 25 years ago. Now, grub fishing just got better with the Exude Curly Tail Grub. Rig it to a jighead with just enough weight to get you down to where you want to fish. Then, fish it with a slow, steady twitch. This is a lure that truly will catch just about anything that swims.

Mister Twister History

1. From a small northern Louisiana town. . .
2. Use a pressure cooker to melt plastic. . .
3. Pour the melted plastic into book molds.

Humble beginnings that hardly seem like a 1-2-3 recipe for success, but after almost 25 years, Mister Twister continues to lead the soft plastic fishing lure business, each year becoming more and more innovative.

Yes, innovation has been the key to Mister Twister's success since the folks there developed the Curly Tail® concept in 1972. Up to that time, rubber or plastic lures were stiff worms or grubs; they had little or no action. The Curly Tail changed that, and Mister Twister sales soared. Soon Mister Twister was selling millions of lures a year.

Sheldons', Inc., makers of the world famous Mepps® Spinner bought Mister Twister in 1982 and sales continued to climb. When the Sassy Shad® was introduced in the 1980's, sales sky rocketed. The Twister folks continue to introduce innovative new concepts to the fishing tackle industry. Lures like Mister Twister's Top Prop® series, easily one of the hottest surface lures to hit the market in years. The all new Mister Twister Smart Hook®. It’s patented, innovative, differentiated lures like these that place Twister above all others for all time.

 

Then there's Tri-Alive™, the only soft plastic lures to feature three colors, three natural colors that come close to fooling Mother Nature herself. What about the Hawg Frawg® and Fightin' Crawdad®; the Jerk Rat® and the Super Lizard™ II. How about Lil' Bits and Teenies? Literally millions of panfish have been caught on these tiny Mister Twister grubs. Mister Twister's Phenom® and Poc'It Phenom® remain buzz words among bass fishing's elite. The list goes on and on. What fisherman worth his salt hasn't heard of the Mister Twister Electric Fisherman fillet knife?!

   Twenty five years of innovation has been an inspiration to the folks at Mister Twister. It's given them an attitude. And that attitude is shouting out, "We're Mister Twister and you ain't seen nothin' yet!" As Mister Twister General Manager Chuck Byrd points out, "Our new product offerings are the best they've ever been, and as we speak, a new Mister Twister lure is in its final testing stages; a Mister Twister product so different it will, once again revolutionize soft plastics.
