Are these available for sale anywhere? Not the deep version, the minnow bait.

Thanks

millsie kinda sumed it up. I made them for the winter musky shows a few years ago. Depending on the fishing the rest of this fall and my workload I hope to have some done for this winter.

Sorry,
The 4, 6 and 7" deep divers now have rattles. Only the minnows and 10" deep divers are non rattling.

After a couple of years of dragging our feet we finally got the production mold up and running for the 12" minnow. I've been using some for the past few weeks and we are really happy with the out come.

Thorne Bros. just got there order shipped out today.

Bill, I like, those look sweet! What show's are you doing? Any show color teaser pics? I'm not even going to chat with SVL next time, he's like a pick pocket lure salesman! LOL

Have fun!

Targa01,
Right now I'm doing all I can do to keep up with dealer orders (and fish) so getting them from a dealer is your best bet.

JD,
If the rocks are as hard in LOW's as they are on Vermillion you will be fine!
I like the view at the "Tilted Kilt" in GB better than Hooters!

Retail is under $30

Not sure on the shows this winter, Milw and New London for sure. Way to early to be thinking about show colors for me. We did have a good color this summer that I might do (don't worry JD it's not the one your thinking about)

They look great Bill. Having them molded will be a big leap over the original poured baits. I really like the profile of these 12 inchers.

Muskyroller,
I'm not sure what Im doing tomorrow so April is a "who knows" for now. The MN show is a mabe not sure on the dates for the TB Spring sale.

Rick,
The show ones we did a few year back where poured from Alumilite. This past summer we made the production mold and there made like our other baits. Injected from solid High impact plastic, molded in wire form, epoxy clearcoat, ect. ect. We got the samples late summer and after testing them for a few weeks and making sure there what we wanted there ready for our dealers. We are really happy the way things turned out!

Curleytail,
Check your PM
