Last winter Beaver and Stan Durst came out with a new paint syle for musky lures, chrome. I am just wondering did the lures that were chromed produce fish for you people who bought them? I guess one sign might be that I cant recall see any chrome painted lures on the buy, sell, and trade thread...

Some people must like them if they paid $50 for a depth raider on the Buy-Sell board. I do think I saw one or two chrome baits from Stan on the boards for sale last summer. I think they were perkas.

I'm thinking (and i am no means an expert) that chrome and prism lures work better on bright days, because they can only reflect the amount of light available. More light= more flash. I think Heiting also said the same thing in one of his videos.

Stan made a couple chrome cisco depth raiders for me last winter. Their is something about his chrome that is more lifelike than real chrome - more of a buffed finish. I'm sure I will do well with it; it looks great in the water just didn't fish it much. They are the two baits at the bottom.

O boy those bottom 2 chrome DRs look SWEET.
Rob, I see your point about how they would prolly work better on bright days but nonetheless I think they would attract fish even without the light just like any other color that doesnt reflect sunlight.

DO you know if everything is alright with Stan Durst? He has my check since last year for some Crane Baits and I haven't heard anything from him lately.
If you can reach him, please ask him to call me at home. I don't have E-Mail anymore and I'm working off a borrowed computer.
