Location: Lake County Illinois | I called and spoke with Sharon about a month ago trying to find and buy some 207 lures,I forgot what the problem was but she told me by summer they should have some 207 lures ready,even at the Chicago and Milwaukee musky shows found lots of cranes but no 207s,When I first called the Musky Shop they said I can be put on a waiting list,seems most models were available except the 207s,so blanks might be hard to come by right now. |

Location: Muskegon Michigan | Well My wife contacted Sharon and found out they will sell blanks but they don't have any as Bill did not make any 6 or 7 inch models this year. This is a major bummer for us as well as we wanted a couple of brown barred ones in the 207. Next 207 blanks and finished baits wont be out till NEXT WINTER!! Bill just turned 75 so I don't expect him to be producing thousands of baits every year like he used to. I will be placing an order for next year. If you like those blanks and baits you need to contact them around December of this year and get on his make list. Mike |

Location: Muskegon Michigan | Here is a picture of My wife with Sharon Crane and Rhoda Satanoica . This was in front of our booth at the first Pittsburg musky show hosted by the Three rivers Chapter of Muskies inc. Michelle with the two grand ladies of the musky world. We have been fishing crane baits for about 15 years. We also have some older Grandma lures as well.
