ANY IDEA WHEN SUPER TOPRAIDERS WILL BE AVAILABLE?

Rumor has it that they will be released at the chicago musky show. I'm not sure as far as the dates go but that is where you can find them first. It is a great event to attend with many well educated musky anglers. I'm pretty excited to listen to Al Lindner although I personally would have rather had Doug Stange. This better be one ##### of a lure for as long as they have made us wait.

Good Luck,
Jesse

The new Super Topraider was finalized this past September and production is under way. I can tell you that the wait was well worth it!! The new lure has the same features of the popular Topraider but twice the noise! It is only slightly longer than the original TR so that hook ups will be solid. I understand everyone's frustration in having to wait this long on the new lure. Our philosopy maintains that we make sure we have all of the bugs out of a product prior to release, and it took all summer to make this lure ready for final production.

As many of you know, the Super TR prototypes are responsible for some big fish already, including Saric's 57"er and several other 50" plus giants. I think you all will be pleasantly surprised with the lure's action! It will be available in Chicago (and possibly sooner from Rollie & Helen's, Gander, and Mill's Fleet Farm stores.) Thank you for asking and I will try to keep all of you posted on the progress of production.

Sincerely,

Tom Dietz

Oh since you guys are on the topic about joe bucher and his lures. You have to watch The Outdoor Channel on monday nights at 9:30 Central. It's fishing with Joe Bucher and every show he does 1 musky catch. The musky segment usaally always starts around 9:48 c. He also fishes for bass, walleye and I have seen him fish for other species of fish also on the show. I encourage you, if you have not picked up a copy of one of Joe Buchers video you should. I just recently got one, it was really good.

I just can't wait for these baits to come out...and think it is kind of cruel to make them available in the winter! LOL

You guys know you didn't have to tweak this lure, and take so long to get it out!! Want it ASAP! Looks super cool and have a feeling it works OK too.

I plan to get one immediately(signed and numbered would be goo to Tom...c'mon buddy). The standard TR has become one of my best all around lures(big fish too). Had some action on it tonight again(47 and light snow), heck I'm going to try it on a tip-up this winter.

I have several versions/colors of nearly every one of Joes baits and there is only one I haven't had any luck with. Its a really big Chartruse bucktail. I think its just to big for the lakes I fish. But the rest of his lures are great. I like those Baby Depthraiders the best. They are my go-to lures in the really tough conditions.

Has anyone had much luck with Bob Ms lures? I have a half dozen of his lures and the Jackpot is the only one that seems to work well. Not sure if I'm not using them correctly or the lures are just not very affective.
