Does anyone know if Rizzo Tails are still going to be produced?

Not so. Tony, Jr. approached us about buying the busines, but we decned. He does not want to continue the business. Not enough time. I had another party interested but that also fell through. So unless something changed in the last couple of weeks, there will no Rizzo tails.
We will have a different style of plastic tail spinner available.

Mann's used to make a 1" wide, 6" long tube with thick tentacles. Wow did that make a great spinner. You did have to glue the head. They had some good colors to make spinners with. Not made anymore unfortunately.

Smity Lures is now making a bait that is very similar to the Rizzo Whiz. It is called the Smity Wizard. The have them at Rollie & Helen's Musky shop and you can order them at muskyshop.com. I picked up a couple after catching a Musky recently on a Rizzo Whiz that I inherited when my father passed away.
