That second one's an odd one... what's that supposed to do? Dive like a shallow crankbait, or be a splashy stealth topwater??

It sinks... Kind of like a spy bait.

I tied 25 Walleye Stinger Hooks yesterday.  Was going to post a photo but they don't look very exciting. 

What is the curved bait made from.  Looks interesting

That bent minnow bait looks like a riot to play with. Thanks for sharing.   :P

I actually meant the bent minnow. Just didn't do a great job referring to it. Like a topwater jerkbait kind of. I can see in some topwater, clear/shallow water finesse situations it might be really good but I'd probably use my poppers, walkers and whopper ploppers a lot more. It appears to be targeted maybe originally at saltwater? Your paint job looks like a real good freshwater color.

I get the cross bait though I'm not sure I would ever want to fish it? I already like jerkbaits and have so much confidence in them. I also am impressed by the realistic action of the Duo spinbaits. They look like a real minnow swimming along as about a good as I've seen.

I don't always know what's going to catch my fancy and what doesn't...? Though having someone wax me on bass on a lure can definitely change my mind at times! ;D

Yes I did and I appreciate it... Good thing they only start at $20!! ;D I'll take 10! So will the pike where I fish... so now that I think about maybe I'll wait until they come out with the generic model so I can afford it... :D

They are cute.

Sure... cute fits. I think so anyways. I could say pretty but wouldn't that make some readers even more uncomfortable?
