As most of you probably know, Josh, Jeff, and I are pouring some baits and trying to come up with some new stuff that might help us catch more fish.
We came up with a creature bait that is in desperate need of a name.
Take a look at the picture below and post anything that comes to mind. We are hoping that one of you comes up with a name that will stick. And if so, we shall reward you with some customs baits by '3 guys with beer guts lure company'. Just kidding about the company name, tho it does fit us to a T.
Here you go
" Devils porpus"
because of the prongs in the back.
For some reason, it made me think of Jar Jar Binks (Binx however you spell it...)
It made me think even more of a bad cartoon alien, but I can't think of the specific name that I'm picturing in my head. Maybe it could be the Bradbury's Creature?
I'll give it some more thought.
GLB (Great Lakes Bass) Intruder
or
Ribbed Po Boy
or
Lake Wixom Slider
or
South Side Shuffle
or
Erie Eerie
I got a million of 'em!
How about Ribbed For Your Pleasure...can i say that??
It kind of reminds me of an ear of corn...so how about Shuck n' Dive...

I think you just did...lol...
:-[ ....? ;D ....? 8)
i guess you're right!
WILD THING? ;D
Make sure you spell it right though.
I think Wild Thang is already taken by another maker of baits.
how abt the:
" hawg craw"
sorry, got hawg on mine mind - hence boss....
How about -
the DK Sunami
The head of that thing reminds me of a Venus Flytrap. Even the apendages remind me a bit of a plant. So I vote for Venus Flytrap.
Give it a Fro and it would remind us of THE Venus Flytrap. he he he. Were you more of a Johnny Fever or Venus Flytrap fan in those days?
How about the "EAR WIG"
Ear wig - GROSS!!!
I like the sound of Johnny Fever better, but my hero would be tie between Les (I honestly thought turkeys could fly) Nesman or Herb Tarlick.
There's a cartoon alien in my memory that really looks exactly like the new lure, but I cannot for the life of me remember the show or the creatures name... darn.
The nothing, no name, smallie craw, bass candy,? freebie, taste, sweatie , mio, trap shutter, thats about all I can come up with by looking at the pic.
Can you imagine asking for it by that name at your local tackle shop :)?
It would be fun! ;D
How about "The ghila monster"
How about "the triple threat"
it could be because of the 3 sets of appendages, or because you could fish it 3 different ways (probably more but quadruple threat doesn't sound as cool)
never mind... I googled triple threat bait and found six different companies making triple threat named lures on the first page. back to the drawing board
How about "Beaver Trap" or "Flat Tail Beaver"?
If it was bigger, maybe Sasquatch, maybe this could be Sasquatch Jr.
Erie Bug, Gobie Muncher, ....
all great names guys. I will pick some of the catchy ones then maybe we will put it to a vote. Winner takes all.
I am working on getting a small tackle company together. To sell some of the stuff we make and some other products as well. Jeff came up with a sweet name and logo, but i found out that there is a similar company name out there already.
So i am trying to figure out something catchy to call the operation.
Any suggestions?
So far i am stuck on Nemesis Tackle or Empire Tackle. See, im not that creative. Need help. So........help me!
PB himself :-\'
That's probably where he got the name... trying to get you into court so he can take over your business!

This looks like a bait I use for carolina rigging smallies. Got to call it a Smallie Dragon
Scorpion. It is sure to score with the Smallies!!
Sting the competition! With the Smallie Scorpion!!! It might work.
Scorpion Tackle...? Hmmm...? not sure...
(Hello oldgeezer BTW)
Scorpion is pretty good. It also has some sentimental value as my new bride stepped on a scorpion on our honeymoon. Luckily she was not stung, but i bet she would get a kick out of that.
PB himself :-\'
McCarter,
That is a pretty sweet looking bait and I want to play the name game. I was thinking that a bass fisherman needs a good "wing man" for a partner in tournaments. Since your bait has some cool looking wing features, why not call it "the wing man".

McCarter-
I was I also thinking about a name for your operation. You could call it GAME DAY TACKLE COMPANY. With that you could use the slogan "fisherman are athletes". LOL
Billy Bass
how bout' SAW-CRAW
Gang,
thanks for the participation. I think i have come up with a name. I was thinking of calling the operation Nemesis Lures. The definition of the word nemesis pretty much sums up our ongoing battle with our slimy adversarys; a formidable and usually victorious rival or opponent. As Wayne would say, the fish usually win. and he is right. No matter how good we end up fishing on any given day, there is always room for improvement.
Thoughts?
I think it was Rev who wanted to call the bait the 'Johnny Fever'. I liked that name a lot for a bait, so i am working on having a custom beaver type mold made up right now which i will use the Johnny Fever name for. Kinda sounds beaverish, sorta?
Things are kinda moving a long slowly right now. It has been too cold to pour in my garage with my little propane heater. I am working on my second goby mold trying to get that in order. Having a little trouble with some other things. Once i get the bugs worked out, i will have samples for yous guys to play with this season. I think your going to like what you see tho.
McCarter himself :-\'
Did you pour that beaver mold yet?

Jeff came up with a sweet name and logo, but i found out that there is a similar company name out there already.
Can we see the logo??
-Kid
Here she is. I liked it alot, but after some careful searching, i found another company that was called Toad Hunter Lures.
That was the original logo taken from the website...I liked the ones I reworked for the bag labels better:
As far as the name goes, I think you need to have a little fun with it. For example (based on the old "Who's on First" bit):
Company Name: It's a Secret Tackle Co.
Product Names: I Can't Tell You, You Wouldn't Believe Me, Thing I Use, etc.
I can see the conversations at the dock, weigh-in table, on the water, etc...:
Guy: "Wow...nice fish! What did you catch it on?"
You: "It's a Secret, I Can't Tell You"
Guy: "C'mon...you can tell me..."
You: "I did tell you..."
Guy: "No you didn't...you said 'It's a secret, I can't tell you"...
You: "Exactly...that's right"
Guy: "What's right?"
You: "The name of the lure I used..."
Guy: "What name of the lure?"
You: "It's a Secret, I Can't Tell You..."
And yes, I do have a little time on my hands... :D
Lol wow! It's okay everyone, Jeff is just fine, he is just going through withdrawls and didn't take his medicine today...he's missin those big bucketmouths and them big ol' smallies ;D Got you covered!
-Kid
How about "waterbug" or "waterbeaver"
How about Crawzilla ;D
how about almost an erie darter!
FEVER ;). Perfect. :o
