That lure must have really been a marketing bust. Bass Pro has bins full of them for a buck. I can remember all the ads when it was first introduced.."..carved by the owner himself...". I never bought one or used one, but I wonder if it failed for not catching fish, or not catching fishermen.

[Putz]

I'll give you the rest of mine . . . LOL - I just can't seem to catch many eyes on them. I don't know if they are more of a bass lure or what?

[Eyez]

I have about a half dozen of them. I've caught a few snakes on them, but no walleyes, and I even tried them when there was a hot bite once.

Work well on rivers and troll deep fast or slow.

[Dutchman]

I bought about a dozen when they first came out, gave them plenty of time to intice a walleye, never happened. I did catch some large snakes on the mustard ones though. I think they're still over priced at 50 cents....

Fished em on the Cedar River in northeast IA. this fall , trolled up, cast back down. Had several good days the best being 13 walleyes 4bass and 1 northern. paid 1.99 at cabelas ..... bought too soon!

I was trolling on lake butte des mortes this year in the wwa tournament and went through a school of fish. Out of the six rods we were trolling, five of them all had a walleye on at the same time. The only one that didn't catch a walleye was the risto rap. But I have had success on them were there were a lot of little white bass.

Maybe it's from reading fishing magazines, but i just don't care for fat baits when fishing for walleyes. Just tend to stick with slightly longer/thinner profiles. At fifty cents I think I'd buy some too though.

[River_eye]

I bought two of them last spring, gold metallic and silver metalic. Caught eyes on the gold one in the spring in shallow water, that's about it.

what part of the country are these on sale, in nebraska they are still full price. They are not on the basspro web page. any ideas on how to get some of these.

[SLIPKNOT]

They are on sale for that price in wisconsin, seeing you are in nebraska, you should be able to get them cheap at cabelas

>what part of the country are these on sale,

Just north of Pittsburgh Pa. Cranberry, and Gibsonia stores.

My partner and I spent a few hours fishing smallies with them during the WC gathering. They produced a 6-2,5-4, and a "baby" 3 pounder.....all on the same pass !! I spent about 30 minutes sorting through the bin at the Gurnee Bass Pro the night of our club meeting and picked up a basket full. They had a much better selection of colors and sizes than Wal-Mart.

[sully]

still can't find them for that price. anyone interested in picking me up some please e-mail me at outdoorsmen73@hotmail.com
