So just got home from great weekend in wausau. Want to share this with you guys. There was a thread awhile ago about lee lures new pelagic. Alot of people were callin it a copy cat of a headlocks. I talked to lee on a couple visits to his booth n just was impressed by the guy. I went to his booth at least 4 times n talked about his baits. The work he puts into his products is second to non. He loves what hes doing. The paint an art work on these new baits are outstanding. And on all his baits you can see his pride and the love he has for this sport. So next time we knock something, lets put the work into perspective n talk to the makers to hear the excitement in there voice about there products.these baits are beautiful.

Looks nothing like a head lock other then the lip.

Looks amazing, everyone's lures look somewhat the same and I think it looks more cutout than a headlock. There good lures but there's no reason someone shouldn't make a similar lure.

It looks even cooler in your hand. Lee put alot of time n work into these baits. Dont plan on fishin it. Just to pretty :-). His other paint jobs are even more amazing.

I agree with you Dave. Lee is a real gentleman and a great fisherman. I've found him to be always willing to give a person a quick lesson in how to fish a bait properly or to help someone modify his bait to increase its effectiveness. IMHO he does a bang up job in the making and in the creation of his baits.

I didn't buy one but handled one and looked at them. Really really nice looking bait. I guess the lip is similar to a Headlock, but that's it. I liked the shape of the bait and the finish was great.

Is that thru-wire or screw in hook hangers?

I agree those baits look amazing. That was also one heck of a fish he got on one too.
