Random quote: A couple of young fellers were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden. Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods like a bat out of hell, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

We have been working on these little trollers for about a year now. The goal to make a bait with the right combination of size, shape , depth and action for my home water, Geen Bay.  After a lot of reeking and tuning these are a few of our final prototypes. We hope to have them ready by show season and have a full line of colors to debut at the Wisconsin musky expo in Wausau in March

Location: Money, PA		They look great Andy....Only thing I see that may be a concern for ya is the depth of the lips in the top 4 baits...I mean the lip slot depth...You need a good bit of depth to securely hold that lip in place, especially when it hits bottom, gets banged up near the boat or put into the net with a fish....Just a suggestion bud.

Location: WI		Thanks for the input Paul. The photos are a bit deceiving as these are prototypes that the lip had been attached to prior to painting. I was making the blank and attaching the bait the clearing. After I new that the were running the way I wanted I painted them. So you can't see 2/3 of the bill in the body as it is covered with epoxy then paint than more epoxy. The slot on the bait is actually about 5/8" deep. They have a very unique action that I hope will be just the thing for the bay. We have gotten a few fish on them in the 2 weeks that we have been running them. Wish I could have got them dialed in a little sooner in the season so we could have had more time. They are talking possible freeze up in my area next week.

Location: WI		I have been struggling to come up with a name for these baits. Anyone that comes up with a name that sticks wins one in any paint job they want.

Location: WI		Musky tamer is on the right track. If you look at our other baits they have a kinda funny twist to them. ie: infamous lil beaver and infamous shocker.

'The bait with no name' sounds good to me
Keep up the good work Andy. Baits looks awesome and I look forward to getting them wet.
