Posts: 32951 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Jason, The lures this fellow (he's used several names today in separate posts) say are 'the best' look to be nice. The arm is too long for my taste, and the blade style different than I'd choose, but they look to be well built. Thing is, they are made and sold in Canada ( big surprise, that's where our buddy above resides) and not readily available here. I bet the folks who live up there are unfamiliar with Long Tails, too. | ||

| many fishermans from the us use the river rat because they caught a ton of 50+ each years,so they are available.for the longtale availablility i seriously dont care,because thats the shape we like arm included,and especialy the eye mike | |||

Posts: 1939 Location: Black Creek, WI | Mike, How can you say my LongTales are not unique without ever trying one out for yourself? I love the River Rat spinnerbaits and know first hand how good of a bait they are. In fact, I give them some recognition on our LongTale website. Also, check out the 48 incher I caught on a River Rat spinnerbait... my photo is on the River Rat website.... proving that I respect and take advantage of that fine product too. The LongTale DoubleShot is very similar to the River Rat..... so I admit that design is not completely unique. http://www.riverratlures.com/17501.html The short-arm LongTale designs are very similar to Dick Pearson's Grinder... but different enough in my opinion. Different hooks. Different blade options. Different head designs. Different body materials. Etc. | ||

Posts: 93 | They are unique.......only the fact that I have never owned a spinnerbait that was made by a married couple. The guy does the hardware the girl the finish....excellent. Oh.......and it is unique cause it has a great action to....so way to go!!! | ||

Posts: 1939 Location: Black Creek, WI | Do you believe in the Self Fulfilling Prophecy (SFP)? If not, then how do you explain that my first two fish of '07 ate a LongTale Spinnerbait? If LongTales are not unique... or you don't believe in the SFP... then these fish must have simply been HUNGRY on opening day.

Posts: 8856 | I think what he's trying to "prove" is that he got three fish on opening day on LongTale spinnerbaits... Showing pictures is better proof than just saying you did, wouldn't you say? | ||

Posts: 1939 Location: Black Creek, WI | esoxaddict - 5/11/2007 12:29 PM I think what he's trying to "prove" is that he got three fish on opening day on LongTale spinnerbaits... Showing pictures is better proof than just saying you did, wouldn't you say? EA... for the record.... I only caught 2 fish on LongTales on opening day. There are two photos of the same fish above. However, I did have the honor of netting a fish for my buddy Todd Forcier to make our opening day total of 3 fish. His fish, by the way, ate a bucktail and NOT a LongTale. And lastly, I wasn't trying to PROVE anything by posting the pictures. I love to catch muskies... big or small.... and after 5 months of a closed season... it simply felt GREAT to catch a few muskies... regardless of their size. Yah... I hope to give my lures some exposure from this post.... but its certainly not a contest. I"m not sure why some people are so competitive... or jeolous... or whatever prompts them to post so negatively. I caught a few fish on some of my own baits and shared the photos online. Nothing more than that. Hopefully I can catch a few more fish like this 49 incher that ate a LongTale.... but I'm still going to enjoy each and every fish I catch.... regardless of size.

Posts: 89 | Jason Good for you - I own a dozen of your baits and have bought a handful for my dad and friends - they are super. Any muskie is a good muskie - same goes for photos, I like your shots of the "future" - KIDS with muskies. Are you bragging - No - are you showing, telling, sharing, yes! I thought that's what fisherman do - especially the guys on this board. Keep 'um coming and have a big season. | ||

Posts: 457 | jlong - 8/10/2007 4:11 PM The Long Tale Tackle Pro Staff has been having fun testing the "Little Shot" prototypes this summer! Those are, bar-none, the absolute best pictures on any fishing website anywhere. I can't wait for my little dood to actually sit in the boat and fish. It's bad enough that he screams and yells when Dad(me) goes fishing without him already, makes me feel guilty. I have taken him a couple of times, and he will sit patiently for about five, six hours. On another note, I'm going to have to order four or five of those in a few minutes :P | ||
