Nice work Marty

I've caught a bad case of the vintage lure bait monkey in the last few mnth.s..man, you can get into big money on these old vintage lures in a hurry.. http://s689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/SnappinTurtle_photos/Vintage%20lures/?albumview=slideshow

Marty, I like the 2'nd. pic bait, is that off a particular design bait? thats nice

I'd get some ogf Big M's custom cranks and some of these bad boys http://s689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/SnappinTurtle_photos/New%20lures%20in%20the%20box/?action=view&current=WECZ-1BullBream.jpg

Marty, that black crank, midnight sky, took black to another level ...That bad boy is slick. Great work.

X2 Killer

Needed my shades for this batch. Marty, is pic 2 your chocolate shad, looks similar? I like # 2 & 3 Sweet.

Thats a colorful batch. I like the square bills the best. Very nice job Cliff

Great work Marty, thanks again. The bottom two will look sweet snuggled up next to these ;D http://s689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/SnappinTurtle_photos/new%20fishin%20stuff%202010/?action=view&current=BigMscrank.jpg

I'm not familar with the Poes, I've seen them, just haven't tried one myself.

I got one, but I just haven't tried it much yet. I use the Zoom shallow runners more, I just received 2 more today from Simmons, an E-1 and an E-2. I've looked at these for awhile, and thought they were smaller than they are, I'm glad I ordered it. I think it will be a fun little fat square bill with some tight action. I've got about 12 total now ;D Ed really seems to be turning them out, with more models and colors lately. I think 2 models have a rattle in them, the Z-1 and the Killer 2. I don't think you could go wrong with any Zoom/WEC cranks http://s689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/SnappinTurtle_photos/New%20lures%20in%20the%20box/?action=view&current=WECZ-1BullBream.jpg

rboat, I won't get tem all, a few are custom builders own stash they built for theirselves, I just thought they were cool. Some are discontinued, so I have to really search for certain colors or any at all :-/. But, I'll score some of them, even if I have to buy them myself ;D

DBatey, nice batch, they all look sharp, I think the bottom crank is my favorite

X2 A few of the small watersheds I fish are very clear and get hammered with lures, so I think silent cranks and silent lipless lures are just another tool to try at times. I'm also glad to see more tackle mfr. coming back with a silent version also. Although a silent lipless is harder to find than a silent crank.

Maybe the new colors and models haven't hit the shelves yet :-/ http://www.rapala.com/products/lures/dt/

I'm making my list and checking it twice http://s689.photobucket.com/albums/vv251/SnappinTurtle_photos/Bait%20monkey%20chewing%20my%20ear/?albumview=slideshow

I would think somewhere in another universe that there is some type of life. I haven't seen them here on earth, and I don't think anybody else has either

I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, seems like it would be beautiful, but expensive. I like the actual flying part, but a couple times I've flown I got sharp pains in my ears and they bothered me for a week. :-[

Maybe I'm just not finding it, :-/, but I don't see very many lures on Japan tackle or Platts sites? I've dealt with Ichibans, and their site has a very wide selection ;D

Nice fish!

Excellant batch of baits Marty. I really like the colors of the bottom 2 baits

Turned out real sweet. Nice work.

Marty, very nice work. I like the color of the bottom 2. Are the top baits Petey style and the bottom bait your Charlie O ? They all look good ;D

http://www.basspro.com/XCalibur-XCS-Square-Bill-Crankbaits/product/10208243/-1736270 BPS site shows quite a few different colors also. I'll have to check these out at the local BPS. It is a nice looking crank. Its not like I need any more...I better look for another tackle box to put them in also ;D

I've been buying items off Ebay since 06, and have bought maybe close to 50 lures and I had to open a case one time for not receiving my item, he eventually sent it. I normally buy lures that are hard to find, discontinued, Japanese cranks, WEC lures, etc... Recently I had a lure on my watch list but the shipping fee was $9, I sent the seller a email asking why shipping was so high, he said ebay required him to ship ems, but I see similiar lures in Japan with shipping around $4-$5, so I just remove this sellers item from my watch list and look elsewhere. And at times, it depends how bad I want the lure, or how hard it is to find. I recently ordered 2 lures from Ichiban tackle and the shipping was $16, I really wanted the lures, knew it up front and paid the cost.
