Guess this is my first time losing something like this,but thought i would give it a shot.From what i know,my Heli-Dawgs and Shallow Invaders never made it out of the Expo.There was two Heli-Dawgs(orange tailed and gold tailed) and Two Shallow Invaders(perch in package and blk/white striped) i picked up from Brad at the Musky Innovations booth.I know there is alot of honest people out there,but then again there is not.If you have any info please let me know. Thank you....Fred.



And by the way,i enjoyed talking to everyone,meeting new people and making it to the swap.

Fred, while unpacking the trailer for Rollie & Helen's today we found a bag with your baits. Not sure how they got there but apparantly left in the booth and one of us put the bag in a box figuring it belonged to one of the staff guys. I called Brad to describe the baits and make sure those were the ones you were talking about. They are now in a box and on the way back to you from Rollie & Helen's.

Yeah Pete and R&H are great.

While reading that post I was thinking if I remember seeing any muskies that might of gobbled them up there. Like most times when I go out , I saw none.

I read this post last night, and was thinking what a bummer! I've never lost a lure(off the water that is), and never like seeing stories of this kind of thing, but I know it happens. Great to see a positive turnout to this one!

Good job, Pete! Glad to hear this all turned out well for Fred.

Gerard, there are few posts you make that don't make me laugh a bit when you show that great sense of humor you have. This is one of the best! Thanks for making me chuckle yet again!

Aw shucks guys, you'd have done the same. By the way, I'm just the messenger. Tom found the baits, Rick shipped them without hesitation and there was never a question in anyone's mind at the shop about how to handle this situation. Thanks for all the kind words.

I've said this before and having met with and talk to Pete over the years. He is one of the nicest and more honorable people I've had the pleasure of meeting while participating in this sport. He is absolutely the genuine article and I think that there is a lot of folks out there just like him.

Great Job Folks
