| These two showed up in my boat last week and they are my first new biats of the season and they are cool. Time will tell but they look like runners to me.
The top bait is an MDR Chopper about 9 " long with a Cisco pattern. I really like this bait, and can really get it flashing on the twitch. Very interesting bait, and not really in the pattern of any of the pull baits I use currently. Goes down a little deeper, and wiggles as it comes up, and hangs pretty good. Right now it looks like this bait will go into the starting lineup, hooked in the forward line tie, it just looks to juicy to leave on the deck.
The lower bait is one of the Baker baits Capt. L. Jones mentioned, but I am guessing smaller size, although this one is 5" from the front of the bill to the butt?
This thing really zings on the crank, and so far have been able to pop a lot of brush and trees with minimum hangups. We'll check out the sturdiness quotient before warm weather, this one can probably play inside the treeline, good deal down here. .

Gave one a few casts in late Nov. just before ice up, and they are gonna be great over weeds. Shallow runners with a BIG profile.

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | I'm amazed that you folks can have favorite(s) that you haven't thrown! Is it me or are you just pumping up the market for the lure?
it seems like FSF has actually tried the bait's he' posted. So, how do you get a favorite without trying her out? Sounds like having a best "girl" without trying her out!
FSF- by sturdiness quotient, do you mean using for skip-cast's?
FSF- Serious question: How do the two line ties change the action on that top one?
Winter is so much fun!

This one is easy, since they are my ONLY new baits they are clearly my FAVORITE new baits. I tried both line ties on the Chopper and felt the front tie clearly outperformed the second tie, as I interpret the action. Went and got soaked at Melton Hill today, up until the point I was so uncomfortable I hung it up, and the only fish I saw came up on the chopper so that was good or bad. Interesting thing with this bait, you can get a nice belly roll on the twitch, which with the paint job shown, makes it flash white and black, but it invariably rolls at the end of a long pull, too(without a twitch). It is just a real interesting bait. You know how most baits are similar to some other baits? I can't think of any other baits that really have this action. As to the sturdiness quotient on the Baker bait, I whacked it through a bunch of wood today, and haven't seen any notable changes. Some baits wear pretty fast when you start banging them around. Note the Grandma head in one of my other pictures. Thats what happens when you start serious bangin! |

| Al, its called faith. When you believe in a person's lure making ability, you just know it will produce if you give it the time on the water it deserves.

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Hi Stan- Your paint? I'm still in love with that "stump knocker" Jake with the phase shifting paint, also the "lil" Ernie, and the little Jake. Send me a PM, I have something for you. Those all are still in my go->to lure selection. Watching either of them in the water is seductively hypnotic. I really can't believe the amount of flash that they create. So far biggest has been 44", but have had much bigger fish up!
Have fun!

It's kind of hard to test baits when they're is a foot of snow in my driveway, not to mention the 4"s of ice on our lakes. Lol |

Where do you find that MDR Chopper? I saw it at the swap and didn't get any information on how to get one. With the price they were asking I would like to see some tank or pool video to see the kind of action. But it looked like a sweet bait on the table....

Netman The bait FSF has was one of our color development patterns that Stan gave him when they went fishing recently. That color will definitely be in the line-up, just want to give it some black around the eye though. The picture doesn’t do justice on how the iridescence paints light up in the sunlight.
Yes we did have our perch and sucker patterns at the Chicago and Milwaukee swaps, we were trying to get our cash flow going a little, think we drank it all up though.
They will be in this year’s Rollie and Helen’s catalogue, I have an order due there mid April. I need to firm up a deal with Thorne Bros. who will be carrying them also.
We don’t have any pool video of the baits yet. I have sent out some samples to some people who may help with this. If anybody can help with this I can barter with baits.
We are still a little ways away from finishing our website; we do have a page on Facebook though, please search for WoodBridge Bay Tackle.
FSF: Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the bait! I’m glad you like it. Give that upper line-tie another workout once the weeds come up. On that setting it works really well for popping it in and out of weeds/structure.

Actually, I am rather short on faith myself. There's got to be some pudding along the way.  |

Location: On the Niagara River in Buffalo, NY | I also recieved a couple MDR Chopper Jerkbaits to give a workout.They look assume in design and can't wait to have open water to toss them in.The Baker Baits I've already know how well they work, I caught some nice fish on them last fall.
Mine do not have those great looking gills & fins on them,but they do have some of the best painting I've seen and they are constructed to last fish after fish!

| I've always been a big hellhound fan and finally got the chance to throw the new 10 incher in the perch pattern. I was river fishing down here in VA a couple weeks ago and boated a fat 43" mama. She absolutely hammered it. The bait sinks fast if you let it but can easily be worked near the surface like the 8" model. Love the lure! |

| I got home from work yesterday and found this on my doorstep. An un-named WTD bait. That's a Weagle below it. It's made from walnut. I have no idea how it's going to work yet. I also have a couple of new Mike King baits . Lookout Canadian pigs.

Location: Pigeon Forge TN. | Hey Al,
Yeah, it is my paint work. I will send you a PM shortly.
Mike,
I'm glad you answered netmans question, I was going to contact you and let you know to answer this thread again.
Does that mean we are keeping the pattern as is with the black eye and no other changes?
I knew it would bring up a fish. We can do two different versions of it too. Heck, we can do different versions of any of them.
FSF wanted that Cisco Chopper and I had one in our Black Diamond but he said lighter is better so I didn't give it a throw. But will next time out and water is warmer. The Black Diamond will be a fish getter also.
