Random quote: Muskies are nasty. They stink. They taste bad. They are hard to catch and will disappoint even the most devoted angler. The lures required cost more than some women's jewelry. The rods and reels require a remortgage of the house. The boat is always worth more than the tow vehicle. Sure beats the hell out of golf.

This is the third and last of my "rockfish" lures destined for Alaska. This one was coated with a mixture of white Superglow powder paint mixed with epoxy and then overshot with the orange paint pattern. It glows like a neon sign when charged with sunlight and hopefully will be effective in depths of 200-500 feet. One rattle chamber, 12", basswood, big plastic lip which should give it some action in minimal currents.

Yep, his lures are a combination of craft and art. I have one I got from the Musky Mission Complete auction, along with a 12" Headlock. After some thought, the Headlock went in the boat for trolling and I mounted Gringo's lure over the work bench in my shop. It makes me smile and reminds me when doing a wood working project that a 'good enough' finish is not good enough.
