New guy here....
I was curious as to what show's everyone plans on hitting this winter and what are your "must have" items you plan to buy?

I will be going to the MN show for sure, and plan on getting some Custom Pounders and maybe a bucktail or two....or ten...whatever:)

We have a new crankbait with a custom cut aluminum lip that just launched. It's called the Bondy Prophet. It weighs 4.4 oz, is 7.5" and is solid plastic with through wire construction. Comes in 10 colors.

WI & MN shows are always on my calendar. We get to Milwaukee every couple years.

Jon, the bait does not show up for me here but checked it out on your website. I love baits with that lip angle. Just curious how buoyant this bait is and if you can with a plastic bait play around with the buoyancy? I plan on getting a couple!

Thanks for the interest. It floats but it not a 'super floater' so it's easy to get down. With a heavy leader and some lead dots making it into a suspended bait is easy. Thanks!

I started building a new company this past year and we will be at the Milwaukee Expo, and planning on Wausau as well. Excited for our first year at the shows, getting our baits out to more people for 2016 as well as 3 days of talking muskies with everyone.

I plan to attend the Wausau show and the MN show. New lures not many planned hope to get a pair of 10 jakes and a pair of Triple D from team rhino. That's about it maybe something else if it catches my eye.

What's your price point on your baits if you don't mind me asking?
They look great , almost like a down -sized headlock.

I can't speak to price but Josh's baits have a really nice wobble to them. I trolled them this summer from 3-4.5mph with no issues of them losing action. Sadly I didn't connect with any fish but had two rips on those when the Tuff Shads, Shallow Invaders and Jakes weren't being taken. Hoping to get some more time in the water next year

Looking on the facebook page they looked to be $40 + $5 shipping. Interesting, especially for those of us that are intrigued by the Headlock, but not wanting to shell out the $100.

MuskyTroller is correct with the price point. I have been able to use that price as I had been cutting each one out myself and sanding it by hand. I was trying to keep my costs as low as possible to be able to keep the baits at a more reasonable price. This has gotten extremely time consuming (which the wifey is not to pleased about) So recently Ive taken on the help of another individual :)to cut the blanks for me. This included with keeping it all legit by creating an LLC and paying all the taxes, potentially may change the price slightly, however at the shows we will be keeping this price.
