"Look what I am catching with your swimbait. I am having a ball with these things." - Mike Milton, Tennessee |

"I used your 5 inch Bay Smelt swimbait for the first time last weekend on a 3/4 ounce head. We were fishing humps and offshore roadbeds for largemouth bass. Anyways ended up blowing the tournament away with these. Had a 5 fish limit that weighed right at 22lbs!! That's a huge bag for Indiana... Definitely turned some heads."
- Tom Eason, Indiana
"Man let me tell you these things really catch fish. Fished down at Kentucky last week caught a 4.24 and a 5+ lb smallmouth. Great baits and very durable."
- Robert K., Indiana

"Back from the Wisconsin trip. The 3" Buzz Hammer you rigged for me (Bay Smelt on white head) was killer. Interestingly enough, we normally do not catch anything on buzzbaits, but with the swimbait combo it was killer. The biggest smallies taken for the week were on that combo." - Bryan Tallyn, Wisconsin |

"Your lures are musky killers!" - Fred Krause, Utah |

"Last month I purchased a
variety of swimbaits from you. Well, this week my son and I had a chance
to try them out. We fished the Rainy River that borders Minnesota and
Canada. This was our first chance to use your swimbaits and it was
fantastic." - Jim Orcutt Sr., Minnesota |
