Location: Hayward, WI | Hey James,
I know your new versions of the Super D's aren't quite ready to sell yet, but I wondered if you had any of the new colors that are coming out done yet. If you do, would it be too much trouble to take a few pictures for us sometime? Don't need a whole color chart, but with spring fever getting the best of me, a couple teaser pictures would be neat. Thanks!

Location: Land of the Musky | Here are a few. I have about 10 more colors too but the other ones I have are half done color prototypes. You will really like them. I have split rings for them that are 175lb+ rated. I am getting final split ring prototypes next week for final pull rate testing. Also the double coil harness I had for my Generation II SuperDs has been replaced. Need to stay one step ahead of the competition that is now using the double coil harness  My new one is a full body internal coil harness with multiple weld points along the entire length. That goes for the Regular SuperD, Mag SuperD and the all new MegaD. These are all fully adjustable harnesses too so you can adjust them and tweak them as you like. We did not stop the harness half way back in the body of the lure. Also took out the little nub at the end of the harness and made these with slightly thicker rear ends and tails in the new molds. BASF plastisol too and we made it about 10% harder than the current Generation II SuperDs. Good stuff coming guys.
James

Location: Madtown, WI | Geez, I had a hard enough time choosing from the original line up....
If you wouldn't mind answering the same question a million times, when are the new baits going to be available on your website? Can we pre-order? |

Location: Land of the Musky | muskyfvr - One of my goals is to price my lures so it does not hurt
As for "when" definitely before open and I hope in early May. I literally have half of a semi truck load coming! The real fun part is, I get to touch and move each and every box into my storage facility. The old weight/lifting belt is coming out of the closet that day! |

Location: Hayward, WI | Quick reply, and very cool looking colors. Can't wait to get my hands on some. If you need some help moving boxes into your garage, I'll be happy to help. Only payment needed is about a year's worth of Mag and Mega D's and some of your big shads. We can discuss all the details when they show up. 
Thanks for putting some pictures up so fast.

Location: Land of the Musky | Sorry, I did not even mention the new MiniD! 21 colors, mostly baitfish. Should be a good striper, bass, pike, musky early spring bait. Made this one with a coil harness too and a heave gauge black nickle saltwater treble hook. After my buddy Dennis went to a pool demo last year that I was unable to go to he emailed me and talked me into making this one. He always has some good ideas for me and is an inspiration.
If these go well I will expand them out to 40-60 stock colors too. I have one more SuperD to come out with and then just more colors. Maybe I will stop at 60 stock colors in 7 SuperDs but I can always be inspired more by my friends Let me know what you think, good or bad!

| James, do the plastics bleed together if put a bunch in a plano box? I haven't noticed any bleeding of colors in the Gen II baits just wondering about the new ones. They look great by the way, can't wait to throw the mini. |

Location: Land of the Musky | I will have a shallow Regular and a shallow MegaD out ASAP. I just got done a few weeks ago making a final version of a harness that is super strong but very light weight for the Mag Shallow SuperDs. I had one before but it did not stand up to the durability testing so I did not make a Mag Shallow. The new harness rocks for that lure but will be a little late to the game I will have those out in summer. |

| Hey James, How big are the mini-d's? I really like the colors on all the baits as well! I'm waiting for some proto-types to do alittle testing on these babies! LOL!

Location: Land of the Musky | 1.75oz. for the MiniDs. They all come with black nickle treble hooks in case you want to go saltwater fishing with them Also all come with triple split rings. Should be ready to go in about 5 or 6 weeks along with two new topwater baits (Hairy Plopper and Leviathan). |

Location: Land of the Musky | They will definitely be in line with my other SuperDs. I was thinking $9.99 and if I can $8.99. Still seeing what my final COGS will be on these. |
