MuskieMadness

sorry I was excited about this site. besides I'm not responsible for my actions until after my second cup of coffee. those musky bucktails I mentioned are now posted on ebay, way good stuff if you need some. item #131152689004 rebuilding my website as the old one won't work in the new browsers. I have musky/salmon/striper lures steehead/salmon stream lures, bass/panfish lures all in very high quality and most unique designs even remakes of older designs like the shannon twin spin which I fixed the problems of the old style and made it into a great yo-yo bait for deep schooled fish as well as a super snag free lure for fishing down logs in rivers and lakes. made up a double bladed micro buzz bait on that shannon spin platform. I sold 400 at one fishing show took second place in a lure designers website vote last year currently working up a multi-bladed lure that mimics a school of minnows breaking water when chased by a predator that also will work as a deep trolling lure. With 43 years of lure design and building going back to Mr. Bass while guiding on bullshoals lake in the late 60's and early 70's I can pretty much build any rig you can think of and many you haven't. not bragging just giving you guys a profile I think I like being at my bench building and designing as much as I like fishing well almost. recently retired and my bench time is a daily treat. I teach chess classes at 5 schools as well. Fishing money
