Awesome! Thank you, Charlie. I checked out your videos. Sweet swimmer. Reminds me of fishing Danny plugs and Bob Hahn wood plugs of my surf fishing days in the NY/NJ surf. Nice job!

I would like the color that you would select! :-) If not available then the yellow perch pattern.

Thanks!

Nice hard baits.

You're style catches fish. I bought a bunch that were similar from an old guy up in PA that kicked. Kinda cool to being made the old style.

Osprey · Jul-03-12 6:30PM

They look a lot like the old Heddon River Runt. Those were my dad's favorite bass plugs in the 40's and 50's before there was such a thing as a crank bait.

Most definitely has some similarites to Hahn. The 3" pike has some carry over from the other lures that I make that are "surf lures". Yellow perch has been my go to color. Its been the only color I have fished almost all year, but I also think that topwater color, especially a bait like this doesn't matter a ton. A friend of mine was fishing a frog colored one right next to me in the boat and catching with his just as I was with the perch one.

Wow...how did I miss that? Thanks Charlie (and Ernie for notifying me)!

What color do I want? T said something about having one in a sort of sexy shad color...is that true? My favorite crankbait color over the past several years has been chartreuse sexy shad. I don't know if you are capable of making this, but something shad patterned with a hint of charteuse (for brightness) would be my preference if it can be done. If not, email me and we can figure something out.

Thanks again!

Charlie M · Jul-08-12 4:09AM

Alright. These are painted. Do you guys want trebles for the back hook, or the dresses siwash?

Curly · Jul-08-12 4:47AM

treble please

bigjeffie · Jul-08-12 8:39AM

thanks for the name: Heddon River Runt-that was what i was trying to remember....I will have to order a few of yours

basscrusher · Jul-08-12 1:39PM

I do the dressed siwash. Thanks!

-Gary

jffoley · Jul-09-12 12:15PM

Email sent! As for the tail hook a dressed siwash, please.

Thanks again!

Charlie M · Jul-18-12 5:59AM

These will go out in the mail tomorrow. I didn't get a chance to write out the mailing labels last night. So put these through some abuse. Fish them and report back in this thread with all the good, bad and the ugly. Don't be shy. I can handle plenty of criticism and I am trying to learn more about how other people use them, and what makes them valuable parts of your fishing arsenal (or not).

Ernie · Jul-18-12 6:23AM

Nice looking arsenal!
