Is there any room in the cellar for another seller of baits?

Just wanted to announce the official opening of Long Tale Tackle.

No retail sales... just a family run home business to provide custom made spinnerbaits.

Please check us out.

Very cool J.
I've been using CJ's for a few years now, but I think that they might have some competition.
Nice looking stuff.
Welcome to the basement, where all the centepedes come to party.

Jason, Any rubber skirted or marabou models in the works? Just curious. Nice looking baits, I just might have to pick up a couple or five! JB

Jason, nope... no rubber skirts on our Long Tales. Perhaps try an ERC Grinder? We are sticking to hair for the time being.

Jason,

I had the chance to see a few of your tails the other day and I gotta say that I was highly impressed. They are built like tanks and the colors are great. Im looking forward to tossing them when I get back up on my feet.

What a fun weekend with the family. LongTale spinnerbaits put 5 fish in the boat for me, my dad (Grandpa), and my boys. Nothing huge, but fun none-the-less.

Had another fun weekend in Three Lakes. Team Piggy/Long successfully defended the title at the 15th Annual Esox Classic. Although I caught 2 fish on LongTales, my partner, Piggy, boated 4 on Mepps Marabous. We split the $$$$ with the Big Fish... which taped 47.5 inches and set the new Big Fish record for the event. Another team also boated 4 legals.... which would have been a new record had Piggy and I not boated 5 to beat them.

No babysitter last night... so my wife went to Country USA and I took the boys fishin'. Just picked up a new ABU Record and 8' Premier that I wanted to break in.... and Jodi tied me up a custom color Big Shot for the 6000 acre pond as well.... and it only took 15 minutes to score! The boys helped me hand land a 38 incher. What a hoot.... and the new rod, reel, and lure have passed the test.

Action last night probably had nothing to do with the lure.... as there was definitely a window happening as the weather changed. Had 4 others up in that first hour and boated a dozen or so pike. Then the lake went dead.... and got even more dead as the sun went down (typical for that stupid lake).

I'm having a lot of fun with Long Tale Tackle and proving that the self-fulfilling prophecy still prevails.....

Gotta love it when people have success on your baits. I wonder which one of Danny's LongTales helped the Wojtusik Brothers cash an $18,000 1st place check at the Eagle River PMTT this past weekend? Those boys can probably catch fish on a bare hook.... but hey... they chose to give a Long Tale some playing time.... so I'll enjoy the free press while I can (heh heh).

CONGRATULATIONS Mike and Dan!!!! Consistent success. You oughta be proud!

Another ABU Record convert? Glad to hear your spinnerbaits are finding success. Dare we say; "Longtale baby!!!?"

Still no post sunset success...hmmm...keep working at it, it can be done! Just gotta move outside the box...hell, get away from the town that the box factory is in.

Jason,
with that horse shoe perminantly planted in your backside, I gotta ask, why are you not fishing more tourneys?

Rob... I live vicariously through others Thus, no need to fish tourneys. In reality, I just don't have the time to fish tourneys the way I'd like to... so I choose to fish when I can and where I want to.... or with my family. I'm fishing a couple tourneys this year... but because they are held on lakes I want to fish (Vermilion) and lakes I'll be fishing anyway (Three Lakes).

And.... if you think I have a lucky horseshoe.... you should meet my DAD!!!! Heh heh heh.

fish4musky1,
What is your concern with ordering custom lures online? It's the only way we do business.... so I'm curious what your concern is. Your feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is an email I got from my good buddy Todd Forcier:

C.J. Behr's first musky. A nice 35-inch Wisconsin River musky caught on a Long Tale Hot Shot Spinner.
Best part...he got it right at the boat. Scared the $hit out of him. A fish he'll never forget.
Thanks Long Tale Tackle.

I apologize for all the "self promotion", but this basement bait thing is a lot of fun.... especially with stories like these.
