| Hey Guys,
I saw this lure at the local scheels store and was just curious if anybody has
used them. They look good and it's huge I think its a big glide bait. I would like
some feedback. |

| I used the AP lure last fall on Lake Kinkaid in So. IL and it was my most productive bait last fall. I caught about 15 muskies on it. Super easy glide bait to use!! I used the mid-sized one, about seven or eight inches maybe. |

| Heard nothing but great things about them. So much so, that my girlfriend bought me a 9" AND and 11" this past
x-mas just to shut me up.

| I've used these lures the last couple of years. They have great side-to-side action, as well as some up and down movement. It's been a great bait for me.

| There are actually 3 sizes of A-P-Lures (pronounced "appealer" (sp?)): 7.5", 9" and 11". The 9" is the most common size you will see at the big box stores. The 9" is a easy and smooth gliding close to neutral bouyancy bait that works best with a slow to medium speed retrieve.
The 7.5" was new last year. It can be worked very slow to very fast. It works very easy. You can even work it with your reel handle and not even jerk it. This bait is also very near neutral bouyancy. It caught my largest fish last year, so I LIKE IT!!! 
The 11" is not readily available. It is done on a very limited basis and in non-standard colors compared to the 7.5" and 9" models. It is also a deep runner and the glide is phenominal. Once it is in the water, it is easy to use--it is just a matter of casting it that hurts!
Hope this helps,

| I only had the red lace pattern last fall on Kinkaid, but now I picked up three more Ap Lures in the firetiger, orange with black spots, and the shad/ciscoe looking one at the Chicago Show. Looking forward to trying them this spring!!

| We have caught many fish on these baits over the past couple of years, especially in Canada. Great action and they have seemed to hold up well even when thrown all day. It's a great bait to get fish to eat during daylight hours when fishing is usually a little slower.
Brett from Thorne Bros sure got a monster on one this year (a shade away from 52" I think)
I will for sure be adding a couple more to this years arsenal, especially some more in red lace. Those seemed to be the ticket this year.
