| I hope I don’t upset anyone or the designer of the Tallywacker tail blades, but here are some baits that I just fished up using them. The hand cupping can be challenging, but they sound great.

| Thank you guys! I received a PM saying how much someone liked that frog pattern above. I thought I’d share another bait variation of that same pattern.

Congratulations on designing the Hellhound. That is an awesome, awesome lure. I can’t take all the credit for the HH, I had two partners Jason Long and Matt Gawlick. We had a company called ERC and they had much input too. We also did a bait called the Triple D. Drifter owns all that now |

| Mike,
Do you exhibit at any of the Muskie Shows with baits for sale?
Your work looks fabulous and I would love to get a couple.

| Thank you guys, much appreciated! Every once in while I’ll do a show or a swap meet for the fun of it, it’s been a few years since I have though. I always enjoy them, my build list keeps me busy enough though. This is just a hobby biz for me; I have a full time job. I’d probably be crossing the line of what this forum is for if I spoke of custom builds and the such. I’ll shoot you a pm |

Location: oswego, il | Those look great! i would call the top one a tallylock and the flaptail a headflaplock.
P.S. you would make a great hand model.
