Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Finally got some funds to commission a new mold for the 8" "Shad Jr." This is out solid prototype and we hope to have these out for fall trolling but they may not be ready until Jan. 2013 or so. Middle lure is the new Shad Jr. For ref the bottom lure is our current 5.5" Super Cisco and the top is our 11" Mag Shad. This lure should really fit a nice slot for musky fishing. Can't wait!! On a side note, most of my colors came from this forum. While I do not plan on having 42 colors for this bait if anyone has a really good color please send it to me. I may just make it one of the 12-14 colors for this lure line. Right now I have a core 6 colors I am going with but always like to add a few extra special colors.

| As primarily a freshwater Striper and saltwater fisherman this is exactly the size I was hoping for. I've always wished for a size right in between the slightly too small 5.5" and the slightly too big 11". 8" perfectly replicates a lot of the bait like herring and menhaden that stripers and bluefish feed on. Also for the type of fishing we do 2 hooks would be a better option but we can remove the middle hook and replace the other 2 with 6X heavy duty trebles and split rings ourselves. The ugly chartreuse that Manns Stretch lures come in is a very popular color for ocean trolling and it would also be great to have a realistic color like the Polish Shads come in although I'm not sure you can replicate it and still maintain the durability your lures are known for. I'll attach pics of the colors I'm talking about.

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Wood_Duck - 12/13/2012 8:28 AM any rough estimate on dive depth on the cast? I will prep a dive curve once I get them. Should be near the Super Cisco dive curve as seen below. Still debating on blanks. I may make 100 just for fun.
