Location: APPLETON, WI | Good grief... those are beautiful! I'd be too scared to put one on the other end of my leader... hook rash and teeth marks would make me cry. OK. Maybe not the teeth marks.
well done! |

| Amazing body of work, your attention to details is very memorizing. What museum is going to exhibit your baits and when does it open? |

| Great attention to detail, amazing work. I am always waiting to see what design and color combinations you will come up with next. Someday I will get to this level of work, I hope.
Do you make your own eyes on these baits?

| I usually make the eyes for all my musky baits. Once in a while I'll use stickers eyes but only for the baits I make for myself to use for bass or walleye.
I have a group of guys who buy the baits I sell. If anyone is interested in purchasing them, send your email address to me via pm or you can send it to:
[email protected]
I will then add your email address to my mailing list for the periodic bait offerings.
Thanks again for the great comments and I appreciate the interest in purchasing the baits.
-Vince

| I fully expect to see these in their own exhibit when and if I visit the Louvre. Absolutely, positively stunning. The detail is immaculate. You, sir, are an artist... your canvas just so happens to be lure bodies.
Thanks for sharing! |

| Thanks for that positive feedback, guys!
Last night, I came in from working in the garage and received notice that one of my Rocket Shads in the Albino pattern boated a 39 inch Northern pike AND a 51 inch musky. Both fish were caught by the same fisherman within a few minutes of each other on the Albino Rocket Shad. I don't know who is happier, the musky fisherman who caught the 51 or me!
While I've been building baits for a while, I only started actually selling a few just last year (and I sell only small quantities), thus relatively few of my baits are in the hands of others at this point and getting that news was kind of cool.
Pat, you have been added to the emailing list. If anyone else in interested in purchasing the baits when they are ready for sale, please send me a pm or an email...please be sure to include your EMAIL ADDRESS.
The following baits, which are seen in the pictures posted above, are about to offered for sale:
7 1/2 inch Magnum Torpedo
5 1/2 Torpedo (the one shown with the razor blade...the Crimson Perch is SOLD)
6 inch Golden Perch Stubbydude
5 1/2 inch Flatshad: color-shifting purple/blue pearl pattern with Mayan Gold pearl undertones.
All other baits have been sold. Thanks again to all of you.
