Default lures

Some of the finest lures made are for the muskie fisherman, a lot of them are
handcrafted, they can be very pricey, names like believer, joe bucher, leo
lures, eagle tale, sledge and suick,.i know of a bait shop that carries them
and i was going to take a look at them, would basspro carry them, basspro is
coming in Nov, i've never been to one, i was wondering if a slightly downsized
version of such lures would be good for bass, would there be a high end market
for handcrafted wood bass lures,

There already is a high end market for hancrafted wood bass lures! As
for down sizeing them....ever see a bass "eat" !


I target mainly smallmouth. I've seen them surface to hit my jointed rapala.The
jointed rapala is always smaller than what i would use for pike. Pike will go
after a 2 lb or better fish. the lures i use for pike are larger, muskie are
not presently my target but they would be in the same category as pike, muskie
lures are known to be larger, i have a whole box full of them, i guess thats
why i am saying a downsized version for bass, i'm not convinced that the high
end market is as developed for bass as it is for muskie, of course i'm speaking
of handcrafted wood lures

Warren, That's funny! When I was out there last month, I was looking
through John's custom lures for big bass....I would have been proud to
have some of those "lures" mounted on my wall !

"basspro" or "Outdoor World" won't put up with your ****. Stick with your
favorite chain store who will tolerate your fraudulent returns...
