| I have always loved throwing bobbies and suicks...However I am a changed man. I threw my tremors today for first time, just wanted to tune them and such. Not only do you not have to tune them, the action is unreal. I really think this could be the sleeper bait of the year. You twitch you rod and the bait dives down to the side just a bit with an unreal belly roll and back right up. I cannot explain it, but if you get a chance to throw one you will see...also the way it works I am sure hook up problems will be eliminated that exist with the others. I will still keep my chewed up bobbies and suicks, but man it will be hard to put them on instead...Ben |

| They are one of my new favorite baits, ask Joe to make you up a pike foil, it is simply awesome. I will be throwing one pretty often this year. |

| YES!!! I got to throw one at our TC chapter poolside,,,,this is the one in 100 suick that you hope you eventually get some day,,incredible shimmy and belly roll and although big its a bait wher you use more small slow pulls so its not that tiring to work,,its got fall trophy fishing written all over it |

| Hey Muskyjay, could you post a pic of the pike foil tremer? I made a commitment to pike patterns this season and would really like to see it. I had success last season with just occasionally tossing pike colored baits, what would happen if I had it all season? Thanks |

Hooker, you ran the Mag tremor(12") I think Ben has the 7" version. They both work similar,but the 7" will work deeper. |

| Thanks for posting to pic Jay, they come in a 7" and a 12"? Anyway to stretch the 7" or shrink the 12"er? I'll email the guy to see if he can make a 10"er happen. Good luck on those guys. |

| I am amped, my TrueGlide's are on the way for our FRV Pool Demo Wednesday. I need to get those puppies slimed  |

| Well the first time I threw it, was just to try it out...Put it to the test yesterday and within the first hour I had boated a fish on it. My only concern was hooking percentages with the bait being wider and higher than I am used to. That fear has been eliminated as the fish t-boned the bait and had all three trebles pinning her mouth shut. The clear coat held up as well, as there are only a few bit marks...really strong nice bait...Ben |

I think Joe is updating very soon and there will be a color chart on there.
There are lots of Trueglide threads already up with many colors, have a search about here.

| There is definitely a time and place for a straight pull, little twitch thrown in kind of lure like a Suick. I've caught many fish on Suicks, and had my "pets". Those normally were weighted by yours truly to hang or to back up a little.
What does this do on the pause.
I'm making room for a couple of 12 "ers right now.....as soon as I find someone to throw it all day for me.

Location: Iowa | Picked up my first (chart. pikie) one this year and love it...had to take the last hook off though cause it kept catching the tail and bending it down...hopefully it doesn't affect the hooking ability...just go a 12"er too...carp color...can't wait to use it...love these lures...cost a pretty penny but well worth it for the quality, action, paint job, etc...truly no other lure on the market like this one...great job Mr. Peterson...here are the pics of mine from a couple different angles...They have become one of my new favorites...

| Good news, J Peterman is making up some 10"ers. I guess enough of us replied for 10s he finally broke down. I don't want to push him but maybe mine by opener? My first one will be pike, followed by a second pike, and third a black/orange foil to give the first two pikes a breather. You don't want to be the boat fishing behind me. |

| Hey Big Perc, that orange tiger is the color I have been catching fish on as of late. I did not take the rear hook off as it only caught the tail about 1 out of 20 casts...But the way the fish have been hooked I don't think you need the rear hook, but I am not taking it off..Ben |

Location: Apollo, PA | The trouble with Mr Petermans lures, is that ALL the colors look nice. Its tough deciding on which to buy, so you just buy as many as u can.

Location: Angola, IN | Joe's baits are the best available. Bar none. Nothing is even freakin' close....HR's are just medicore compared to TrueGlides.
But you're right about the paint schemes.....he's already got about 6-8 different styles of baits and a ton of killer patterns....it gets costly!!!
I own a few, and continually fight the urge to buy more.
Here are a couple of CUSTOM big baits that I got from Joe. The big 20" troller I got painted in a gold glitter perch, the Undertow (the smaller lures) is in a citrus foil.....YUM!!! Heck, I'd put Joe's big baits against Wishmaster....in construction AND paint.

You guys may have to help me out with my color chart! LOL.
BenR. I changed the thickness of the new Tremor tails and repostioned the last hook. You should not have any problems with the new ones. That said, I have only ever had fish T-bone the Tremor,so missing the back hook shouldn't hurt hook ups.
I have been getting many emails regarding the Tremor lately. I plan on making a large "batch" soon. If you are not on my email list,please email me and I will make sure that you get notification when they are [email protected] (Thanks M1 for letting me post).
Mr Bigfish and Capt Pikiespawn know full well that my name is Joe Peterson and they are on a mission to make the world think that my name is Joel Patterson. Mr Bigfish has already succeeded in convincing my entire Muskies Inc Chapter . Every communication I receive from them has been addressed to that name. Even though it used to come correctly. Thank you Capt. I'll get you back!
