mark poulson Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I just read this on Western Bass: http://www.westernbass.com/forum/regular-guy-idea-the-great-american-lure-build-off-t85405.html Had anyone here heard about the contest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Yes, it was discussed here. I fancied a go myself, but couldn't get my hands on the qualifier products. They will not deal with Indonesia. Here it is. Dave Edited July 30, 2013 by Vodkaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinamike Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 A neat looking bait but certainly not a new idea. About 4 years ago a company sent me a prototype of a worm and a lizard with the same type of cup on the nose of the bait. It had to be a high floating bait and they wanted a lot of floating bubbles used, thats what made me decline the production work on this bait. Also the concept was the same, a struggling bait on top of water. With so many baits on the market now a completely new idea is becoming harder and harder to develop, as far as soft plastic goes.

mark poulson Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 What kind of soft plastic is so buoyant that it can float a weighted hook, so it lands and retrieves face up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J lure Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I ended up being a finalist last year supposedly out of five others. If you guys get a chance check it out and let me hear some criticism. It's the Jlure lizard. Prochallnger what's your site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
