Location: Oregon | I build musky baits in my spare time selling most of them on Ebay and to return customers. I have been working on a new patten the darts and glides nicely but has the tendency of showing it's belly if fished a bit more quickly. Since I live in Oregon and have never fished for musky, I'm wondering how much "roll" you guys consider a good thing. When I say "roll" I mean the bait will flip side-ways, almost belly up, and then just as quickly go back into a natural posture again. I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of some of you in this regard.
Thank you sincerely for your time.

Location: oswego, il | Roll is a very good thing, especially when there is a contrast color on the belly like white or orange.
I have seen your baits on ebay, they look great and the great colors are something we never see. I am wondering what you use these baits for. |

Location: Oregon | Thanks Steve, I appreciate your input. Todd I am not sure I follow your reply but you are correct in that I do try to offer something that you "don't typically see", that is my intention.
Thanks again.

Location: Athens, Ohio | When I first got my Wabull, I thought it was broken since it rolled about a quarter turn. I was (patiently) told that Mikie, that's a good thing, keep fishing.
Good luck with your baits. m |

Location: Verona, WI | I have seen your baits on eBay and they are definitely paint patterns that the fish have not seen. I can't wait to get the one I bought. As far as the roll, as long as the colors are contrasting there's no such thing as too much roll. The contrasting colors combined with the roll make the bait flash more in the water.

Location: Right behind you (tap, tap) BOOO | I like a good amount of roll, and think the fish do also. Kind of like ToddM said, especially if the colors transition nice from top to bottom. I have a phantom and I love the way that rolls.
RiverMan i'm interested in taking a look at what you have also...
esox23(at)comcast(dot)net or just leave your Ebay Name on this thread...

Location: Oregon | My username on Ebay is RiverMan41. I generally place about 6 baits per month on Ebay, have just one bait listed now.
Here is a link for those interested in watching a "pool-side" video of my "beerbelly" bait. www.eoni.com/~volkman
Below is a picture of the lure in a perch pattern.
For those interested in seeing the patterns I have available please feel free to contact me.

Location: oswego, il | Riverman, that is an awesome color. You had mentioned that you do not fish for musky. I assumed you make the baits to fish for something else. They will work great on the musky. |

| Now a video link to see the bait in action before buy one......
Well that is just plain cool.
Love the finish on that bait you have pictured.
And that belly kick out of the bait in the video is going to get some hot looks. |
