Location: Money, PA | Well, after much research, trial and error; I finally have what I feel to be a real close final product. This is the jointed version...overall length is 6" for the lure and 7" including the lip. The straight version had a pretty impressive dive cure which with 50lb Power Pro and about 25' of line out was hitting bottom at about 10 FOW. I wanted the "Big Eye" look, but not TOO big. Now I can start to somewhat mass produce these and put them to the test on the skiis. I think St. Clair will be the perfect testing grounds Still needs hooks of course!
What do you guys think of the New "Hammer" Lures?

Location: APPLETON, WI | Phenomenal... looks like it'll have one heck of a wobble to it. Interested in knowing your report and seeing how you do. Seems like with a shorter length of line out, it would be the perfect shallow/mid-range diver. |

Location: Money, PA | Runs great from shore....I'll put 'er to the test this weekend and troll 'er all day at 5mph! This way I can address any "hook rash" issues or anything like that.

| Nice looking bait. Nice photo too. It looks like you took the time to smooth out the rough edges of the lip and maybe even wiped a little epoxy on the edge. A nice touch that really cleans up the lip, so few bait makers do that. Why no split rings? |

Location: Money, PA | There will eventually be a split ring on the tail, however a split ring on the belly cause serious "hook rash" to the straight baits....still have to see the results of this one....it may end up getting SRs throughout.....3/0 Round Bends that are on this lure may be the ticket....We'll see soon enough |
