Posts: 742 Location: Grand Rapids MN | Thought I would share my buddy's lures he has been working on for some time now. It is nothing earth shattering but he was trying to come up with something out of the norm; which I think he did. These were put into a hand full of people last summer (many from the local MI Ch #15) to try out and results were pretty good for the amount of water time the lure received. Anyways, I thought I would share a pic and a link to view the lures action for you basement bait guys to check out. I know you guys appreciate the creative process. The video does not do it justice as far as the lures flash but will give you an idea. Thanks for checking them out and please feel free to comment or ask questions. Thanks..

| Hi every one. My friend Targa talked me into joining this forum. It is actual the first web forum I have ever been a member of. I work with computers all day long and don’t like looking at them in my spare time. Well if it’s to discuss fishing I guess I will make an exception. Any how I started a second small business. I do mechanical drafting and design work and was a manufactures facility that does custom powder coating and was amazed at the results. I had also read an article in an outdoor magazine about a guy that would cut the handles of measuring cups and twist them to use as fishing lures. Well I just thought putting the two together made sense. My first prototype I made did not catch a musky the first time out but I could not keep the northerns off the thing. Now I have caught some nice musky on the lures and a few other guys have as well. I hope in the future to get the price down, but when you have anything manufactured in smaller numbers the price is high. Maybe if I start getting these things stamped out by the thousands I can get the price down some.  | |||

| Hi SkunKt Thanks for the support. I wish you luck in the tournament. I will be posting some video of some different retrieves on the website. They are not the best videos but a friend of mine has some better video equipment so I am also going freakin crazy waiting for the ice to leave. I would like to get some under water video as well. Good Luck and you should be getting the lure next week. | |||

| I am making them in such small quantities the manufacturing price is high. When I start getting higher quantities the price may go down without scarifying the quality of the lure. The body of the lure is stainless steel with a nice powder coat paint job. Hand ground and formed. Attached to the body are two Sampo R6R ball bearing swivels. All our buck tails have a rattle attach as well. We have a cheaper version with a silicon shirt. Thanks for the input  | |||
