Location: Indiana | How big are the curly sues? Are they the body of the 6, 9 or 12" suzy with a tail added? What kind of weight do they carry. Anybody know? |

| Mike,
I don't have all the specifics, but there will be 3-4 sizes from 6" to 12". I have a prototype of one on the 12" Suzy frame and it will fill a particular niche very nicely on the lake I fish. Andy has some pretty cool stuff in the hopper. I fished some of his creations this season and was pleasantly surprised at not only their actions, but most importantly(to me) was the durability. We rip big plastics a LOT during the seaon. It's going to be a very interesting show season. Heads or tails?TAILS!!!!!!! Steve |

| I will give you a quick run down of what we are doing.
We have the 6” Suzy Sucker (paddle tail) and then the 6” Curly Sue.
Next the 9” Suzy Sucker (again paddle tail) and then the 9” Curly Sue.
We are currently working on an 11” version of both Curly Sue and Suzy Sucker, this bait will be smaller than the 13” Big Suzy Sucker. The 11” bait should be ready about March and will weigh about 6oz.
To take these superb baits to another level we are now using Formula-X, the new super stretchy soft plastic. This plastic has many advantages, even with some teeth marks in the tail of the 9” Curly Sue you can stretch the tail nearly 3ft without it ripping or tearing. Now you have a soft plastic bait that’s going to last a very long time with out the need for major repair or replacing tails.
Formula-X is quite buoyant and what this means is if you allow the bait to hit the bottom of the lake it will have a nose down tail upward stance. It basically looks like a fish feeding on the bottom. I am sure this will be a very effective presentation when times are tuff.
I will be at the Chicago Musky Show, so come and say hi and have a play with the Suzy Girls! They loved to be stretched in various directions.

| Andy's baits deliever the goods! Plus, they just look cool. I'm glad he started using the new stretch plastics, no more superglueing $20 baits back together due to some 20" snotrocket! |

Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Elby bought one at Rollie's the day before the PI outting. Man is that thing realistic looking. If you swam a sucker along side one of these, you'd swear they were cousins. Way more life-like than the BD. |
