Dead on GW.  I think it was a combo of both.  It was definitely one of "those" days but at the same time, a few of these baits really didn't even work the day before.  The action was there but not the "wake" part.  They would run juuuuust under the surface whereas my control bait, #16 would push water like no tomorrow.  I was looking for something that does both.  Moving the eye cured it.

LBH-

What happened to the video? Pics look good!

I just went to see the video and it says it was taken down due to copywrite laws.

Because of the song I used :

I'll try and put together another one w/o the music.

As for the update,.......I have been getting pics back from the factory (of the patterns) and the samples look SWEET!!!!!

It's now a question if they work right,lol Hoping to test the samples in Kentucky. Keep in mind, the factory I am using has never made fishing lures before but they are TOTALLY into it. The feedback and communication has been awesome and their attention to detail is amazing. I can't wait to show y'all!!

One thing they are experimenting with, at my request, is a bullet proof finish.  I made note to them that this is a big issue with the original slammers, after merely an hour with my last one, the finish was already falling off and not just where the hooks rub.  For 50 bucks????  Can't have any of that.

FYI- The first run will be a 9" slammer knock availabvle in LM Bass, Rainbow Trout, Pickerel and Yellow Perch, the 4 main Northeast colors.  

Second run will be the #16 rat as seen in many of my pics and vids.

Here ya go

Thats cool LBH, just caught up with it all myself, cool again

Hey LBH. When you made yours, did your lures require much ballast weight?

None.  Wake baits

Yea I knew they were wakes. I knew they wouldn't require much if any at all. Just wanted to ask. I'm still very excited about seeing the baby bass version man. Don't keep us waiting till April!

Nice work Russ!!!!!!!

Can't wait for spring Though, I may be @ my timeshare in Florida the 1st week of March. Do you think they'll be available by then?

Any chance of making a video of the sander mishap? :-X ;D

Will you be taking pre orders?

How will we know when they're available and where can they be purchased?

ouch

LBH.  Those are cool!

Careful around those power tools, bud.

ouch

;D I was only kidding, but thanks for the laughs ;D
