The spoon comes from the Happy Hooker Bait and Tackle Shop - It is an exclusive stinger pattern sold ONLY at there store. If I were you, I would pick up all their exclusive colors, they all have worked great for me the past couple years. Happy Hooker - Snatch It - Lami Cakes have been three of my best colors and they are all exclusive colors sold by H.H. Here is some info. Hope that helps...

Fishlander make spoons very similar to them and you can get them on the net. I prefer fishlander over the happy hooker.
Fishlander is a brand. Happy hooker is a color, unless I'm confused.

Happy Hooker also has exclusive on Major Woody (my first mate) and it has been working well for use. Fishlander is a brand. Happy Hooker is the color of a MI stinger spoon!!

Every bit of 6 exclusive colors...And from our experience they all work well on the gators in Erie. I have not been able to ever find exclusive colors on the net, the only thing i could do would be to take some pics of my Hook-Ums pad and label some of the colors for ya...Happy Hooker looks like chicken wing but in purple and pink patterns...Major Woody huh Bob OH. Care to explain what does it look like? May hafta make a stop out there someday after a trip on the lake and see how much more money i can spend on spoons...

Heyyyyy, I did not design MW ... LOL Major Woody is a firetiger with metal flake and a chartreuse belly ... a pattern that was very hot last year on the drift bite. It has been doing well for us this year (don't tell my first mate that)!!!
Had I designed Major Woody it would have been ... well, different LOL
Hookder has about 6 exclusives I believe and others also have exclusives. I think MI stinger gives them 2 years on a new color. I think Hooker has Red October and that was a real good color for us last year on drift rigs.

Bob OH - Can I bother to ask what do you mean by a drift rig? Are you using the spoon for an attractant with a harness off that or just the spoon drifting?? Just curious...Thanks in advance

Sorry, I should have been more specific. We use spinner blades on harnesses (some call them Mayfly rigs) tied to an in-line sinker for casting while drifting -- ie the drift rig.

PS Perchjerker, you don't want me designing lures -- my boat is called Rod Bender, so the lure would be - oh, well -- you get the drift LOL
