I'm pretty excited, at the Chesapeake Bay BASS Northerns my good freind Curtis Richardson on Bellville Ontario Canada placed 2nd on a really tough weekend , Curtis was on a good smallie pattern with my drop-shot baits, cool to see what I started 3 years ago doing damage!

Hi Zbass yes I live in Innisfil Ont. beside Lake Simcoe an awesome fishery! the only drawback is the season closes on Novemb.31st then I get tortured watching you southern guys beating on bass!LOL

It is great to catch big bass on your own creation, my personal best smallie 7.02 and biggest weight in a tourney I won 24.88 lbs was all on a bait I designed feels great!

Welcome guys. an awesome site with some real ceative dudes!

Mark, I agree with the origionality way. What you see on my site is a very small showing as to what I have designed. When I have an idea I have to do something about it or it totally dominates my mind.
Bait exchange would be nice.
Natural is a brown color that I use to make what I call camo colors. I get it from Lurecraft. If you look on my site at the sticks it's what I used to do the blue worm color.(that's the only senko color I copied and only because they don't make it in a stick, only grubs). It dominates the surface of the color but when you back light the bait it will show the secondary color. For instance I do one called brown gold. It's done with golden yellow instead of the purple and it has black glitter in it. It looks sort of like a pumpkinseed until you hold it up and look through it.
I like working with highlites a lot. They allow you to sometimes be able to change a color completely. For instance I make a color that I designed for a guy in Ont. that looks sort of like a blue pearl but when you hold it up it turns almost a butter color. Then there is another that is pink that will turn neon green.
Some of these colors I found by accident while doing what my wife calls the mad scientist routine; lol. Over the years I've ruined a lot of plastic; but I love designing colors.
Keep checking my site in a while, The ST series is going to expand. I just finished my topwater irons as well as a mini frog, plus I've started doing cores for the series. I'm quite proud of the ST baits.
Let me know when you want to trade.

I like the site. I see that you are a finesse fisherman like me. Are those baits you're design? Here's a color for you I just put together the other day. 4oz plastic, 10 drops purple(LC), 10 drops natural(LC) and a touch of gold highlite. Give it a try I think you'll like it. I call it purple camo.

Again this does NOT reflect on the awesome helpful people at LC. ! the pot in that pic was a 150% improvement from the crap I got! first off the speed control doesn't work!why? becuse the small motor had a capacitor on it! they cannot be used with speed control so it's spinning around at 107 rpm. air bubbles galore.(2) 2 wires were off the contacts (3) the wires were crimped with regular pliers instead of proper crimpers!(4) while it had a height control the wires were too short it raise it 1 inch! (5) five minutes in the shaft seized in the pot bushing!improper alignment!(6) the agitator paddle was a good 3-4 inchinces from the bottom of the pot! 4 cup wast of plastic! (7) the pot was a cheap presto with a rubber seal-good for 3 batches before the ring burnt out!( regulator leaking-defective -everything put together crudley ! sharp edges etc... wish I knew about this site back then-wouldve really helped me! only cause of my mechanical background did I get this thing working, for $1300.00 it's not the most expensive but it was Unacceptable, Lurecrat uses the 5 gallon-they must be made differently!
