Launched 6am to 11am. Landed maybe 20 LM Bass including a nice 15" Smallmouth! I made a new color up,, Kinda a BlueFleck color but modified... I return to PA next week and am fishing a tournament which I wanted to use this color for..... It was an awesome morning.. We lost maybe as many we caught... I think we were running into schools of Small mouth twice I thought.. Saw a peacock or two along banks... We were rigging The Jerk texas style on 2/0 EWG hooks. Spider wire and Flurocarbon.. The New Color works great, and the plastic in the Jerk has been hardened..

That is a sweet smallie. Anglers very rarely catch one of those in the main parts of the lake. That purple lure looks like one of my "go to" lures, the Baby Brush Hog. Never tried purple though. I guess it would work well since a purple worm is a bass classic. Congrats on the sweet bronze back! 8)

Ya,,, Its a 6".... The color doesn't come up right with camera... Its more redish purple... Killer!! I'll be flipping this thing rest of summer,, in PA and Here.... I'm adjusting the hardness of the plastics in each lure,, giving them each a unique action, and lasting... I can get a small version of this if your favorite lure is the baby.. This thing looks just like a brush hog... Thinking of calling it Kalua Pig! I also have a custom Lizzard coming in soon.. Another one of my secrete weapons fishing tough PA waters... Haven't really threw it that much here... I really need field testers,, I like to fine tune this lures!! Let me know roadwarrior when your out again.. Might get out one more time before I head out....

sweet smallie, my holy grail.......the main basin smallie. i can remember catching them in the early 90s with some regularity,snakeheads as well were very common. now both are rare at best in the main lake.you should put together a sample pack of your baits, one of each type in varying colors.if your looking for testers im volunteering! hahaha im kina into creature baits right now, got anything like the brushhawg? in a 4 inch size, junebug or watermellon?

Let me know the next time you're on the lake... I'd like to follow along behind you and tag some of those largemouth.

Maybe Monday morning.. I got to get making lures to take back PA... But early.. The action is 6-8am thats it!! I'll order a smaller version of the brush hog style lure I just got... So count on by the 21 I'll have a baby brush hog style lure... June Bug and watermellon no prob.... And kits to throw around testing these things and all the new lures I just got... I lost Tim so production has slowed down... Just focused now on getting lures made and winning a tournament in PA next Sunday... I'll keep in touch about monday..
