Posts: 791 Location: WI | We have been working on these little trollers for about a year now. The goal to make a bait with the right combination of size, shape , depth and action for my home water, Geen Bay. After a lot of reeking and tuning these are a few of our final prototypes. We hope to have them ready by show season and have a full line of colors to debut at the Wisconsin musky expo in Wausau in March

Posts: 1202 Location: Money, PA | They look great Andy....Only thing I see that may be a concern for ya is the depth of the lips in the top 4 baits...I mean the lip slot depth...You need a good bit of depth to securely hold that lip in place, especially when it hits bottom, gets banged up near the boat or put into the net with a fish....Just a suggestion bud.

Posts: 791 Location: WI | Thanks for the input Paul. The photos are a bit deceiving as these are prototypes that the lip had been attached to prior to painting. I was making the blank and attaching the bait the clearing. After I new that the were running the way I wanted I painted them. So you can't see 2/3 of the bill in the body as it is covered with epoxy then paint than more epoxy. The slot on the bait is actually about 5/8" deep. They have a very unique action that I hope will be just the thing for the bay. We have gotten a few fish on them in the 2 weeks that we have been running them. Wish I could have got them dialed in a little sooner in the season so we could have had more time. They are talking possible freeze up in my area next week. | ||

Posts: 791 Location: WI | Musky tamer is on the right track. If you look at our other baits they have a kinda funny twist to them. ie: infamous lil beaver and infamous shocker. | ||
