| Hello,
A couple of weeks back I sold some of Joel's baits. I received a lot of
messages asking me to post a picture. It's taken a while but here it is. Joel can be reached at [email protected]. He builds a couple hundred baits each winter. This years list is full, but you can get on the list for next spring. (Spring 2005) Some of the finest craftsmanship
goes into the making of these fine baits. Through wire construction, stainless steel wings, spreader or regular hook placement, real eyes, and
most importantly all are tank tested and tuned for the perfect sound. Joel also makes beautiful globes, flaptails, thumpers, etc. If you have any questions drop me a line on the messenger. The baits shown here sold quickly. Numerous guides and well known musky "personalities" throw them but the best part is they are great fish catchers! Quite a few 30lbers have fallen for them! Enjoy the picture.

| Those things are nice. Does that stinger grab weeds and make a pain of itself? |

| The spreaders on the creepers, globes, fetch n catch, flaptails, etc.
work really well. I haven't found them to be anymore troublesome than
other topwater baits. I do believe the spreaders dramatically increase
the hooking percentages. Almost all of the fish I caught last year with
Joel's baits had at least one spreader hook which hooked up. He does have
customers who ask for more standard type hook placement. He will make them however the customer wants them. One other thing to note which is
deceiving about the picture is that most of his baits have the old original Le lure design with spreaders out each side. You can only see the spreader on one side (in the picture) because of the way the bait is positioned.

| I see, I will look closer. Here I thought it had a standard hook set up with a stinger hanging down. Are those brass blades on the topper? |
