"Junk" - Now there's a short statement... I have fished with most of their lures and the 4-Play is amongst my favorites for Pike fishing. It has a very nice S-curve motion at any speed level and the 3 different depth models covers most situations. And it catches fish... But ofcorse I would prefer a wooden glidebait over anything else!!! Michael

Thanks all for the kind words on the painting and swim performance. When that said, I honestly do not wish to have anything looking like free advertizing. I know those mentioning the lure's name mean good! So I hope we can stick to the color design, which I just wanted to hear some opinions on before painting large scale. thx. again Michael

Thanks to you all for the nice feedback... I have also spraypainted a little trout!!! Tight lines... Michael

I have just finished painting this swimbait to look like a bluegill for some nice bass fishing! Would anyone kindly give me some feedback on the job? Many thanks... Michael

Very nice, I like the used colors on those jigs...

Hello guys. Interesting talk about night fishing. I am building a new swimbait lure that is targeting fish just underneath the surface. I would like to hear what colors works better than others? Thx. Michael

Thank you very much. again, I apologize to all for the bad choice of words, and I will be obligated to change or modify the lure model. Regards Michael

To close this subject. I guess I have to apologize for using the phraze "I have made". When it should have been, I have bought a product from a large lure factory, that I asked to make a series of topwater lures, that I could sell under my own company name. I did not have the smallest clue, that the lure was already out there, and I do not know if they have copied the lure, or are making the same lure to other companies. Call it whatever, this is how it went down!!! Michael

I am not trying to call anything unique - those are your words. I have bought this lure through another company, and there is nothing wrong in that. Again, I do not know if we bought the same lures, but I will look at it, and have a meeting with those responsible. Michael.

Ofcorse I needed to look into this, and having looked at the other company 's lure, I can see that they are an exact match. I don 't know if they have bought the same lure from the same company as my company have. But I will look into this, and if necessary, I will take the lure completely out of stock. Michael

To respond to the first comment. Yes it does slide from side-to-side. Otherwise I would not have wrote it. To the second comment. I have never heard of any Thornwood, and I have never copied anything from anybody. I am living almost around the globe from you, and I have had this lure made together with another handcrafting lure company. so if this lure is similar to other lures, so be it. It is not an intended copy of anything. Dont get me wrong, if it should ever become at problem, or if necessary, I will put any lure out of stock at ones, if things weren 't in order! I would understand it if someone put a questionmark on things, or just gave their opinion. But directly attacking others without knowing anything for sure is, "I quote" - just plain wrong in my book!!! So give it a rest, and ask me directly, so the answer can be correct the first time... By the way, I have named the lure WOUNDED WOODY. Michael

I have made a new type of topwater lure, that I would like to have firmly tested. It can be purchased for 12$ including shipment, all the way from Denmark. Describtion: 125mm/25 gram. I have placed the frontend hook on the side of the lure, so the full profile is exposed downwards in the water. The weight is placed in the backend, so at rest the lure hangs in a vertical position. When retrieved it flips up and down while gliding across the surface, imitating the swim pattern of a injuired baitfish. Jerk pulls make it go with perfect side-to-side movements. The lure is also extremely longcasting, because of the weight being placed in the backend. Contact me here, or send me an e-mail on mail@specimengear.com. Regards Michael Hoffström
