Posts: 1938 Location: Black Creek, WI | The nice thing about making custom lures for people is that they can be creative and make something THEY like. Mike Roberts requested this one... that we are calling MR Walleye. Its an attempt at making the Bucher Miller Perch pattern on a spinnerbait. All LongTales are custom made... but it seems most of the special requests we've had are just plain UGLY. What's up with that???

| Roberts and Beaver(well, how can we blame beaver exactly, he never really escaped the 70's alive after all...)have really bad taste, and...no sense of color or elegance. The only thing I see here that would make me remotely hot, IF I was a southern musky, would be the middle one in the group of three, the one with the ah so subtle fliff of chartreuse pouting amidst the white virginity of the dressing. Of course, had the designer had any breeding or taste, sniff sniff, that fliff of slightly tawdry, streetwise chartreuse, would have been played instead by a slightly embarassed pink blush to go with the virginal white of the skirt. | |||

Posts: 1938 Location: Black Creek, WI | Yah... between that ugly color and silly blade arrangement... I'm sure Beaver will never score with those baits | ||

Posts: 1938 Location: Black Creek, WI | Hopefully MuskieFIRST's Lambeau will have the "confidence factor" going with this custom request..... cause I think its in contention for one of the ugliest (heh heh) Attachments ---------------- Lambeau's Lure comp.jpg (52KB - 111 downloads) | ||

Posts: 1938 Location: Black Creek, WI | Here is a Double Shot in the Lone Ranger pattern tied up for my buddy Todd Forcier. This one is actually quite pretty and should match the white bass hatch on Petenwell quite nicely.
