    If that bottom one had one more chin it would lookk like my mother in law. I would like to try my hand at smallmouth with the topwater though.

    The top one is a twitching glider bait that works just under the surface 3″ -6″ and also comes in a sinking style. The bottom one is like a trap and I guarantee they both kill the smallies.

    #1 looks like a Twitch-n Rap (sp?) when I saw em I couldn’t wait to try them on the river. The body shape is close to a shad and has a good side-to-side action. I don’t know why but I couldn’t make em work. Every time I had a good jerkbait bite I tie one on but had little success. I’m giving the one more year but last year was a bust.

    Great…more lures in the $15 range.

    What really bites is these lure makers are getting guys to pay that price for them. Pretty soon our tournament weekend (approx 3 days) will be… $200 entry fee, $200 fuel, $75 lodging (split 3 ways), $60 food (no beer), $200 lures

    Fifteen bucks for a lure does kinda suck and it seems like a pattern that is not going away soon. I am not proud to admit I have succumb to some even pricier twenty five dollar Japanese lures because they work especially in tough conditions. And when I throw them it makes my you know what pucker for fear of loosing it. There are many great reasonably priced traditional lure manufactures out there and almost all of them will catch fish and yes there are times when a three dollar lure or simple plastic will out catch any of these lures. Most of the standard lures need to be tweaked to run properly or weighted to suspend as advertized, when you buy a hand painted lure in the fifteen dollar range they more closely resemble batfish, run true, suspend properly and have a unique action that triggers fish to bite. When you are in a tournament and someone is weaving in and out between tournament boats hammering fish and you and the other 5 – 10 boats around are not catching fish it can be quite humbling. I have seen it happen more than I care too where everyone is throwing the standard fare and you can follow neuromas boats and load it many times over while others stare in amazement. With this in mind one might become a little less hesitant to spend the extra money especially if it happens to you! Some of these lures just catch fish more consistently or when others don’t. However it kink of make a guy a bit jumpy when you are on a body of water with allot of snot rockets. Just my 02.

    I’m able to get away spending much less and still catching fish

    Maybe we should all pitch in some bucks for supplies and make our own lures!

    Before I seen the manufacture, I thought they were both yo zuri’s. Especially so for the bottom one, looks very similar to the rattlin’ vibe, a little pointy’er body, and they’re only about half the price.

    The northern pick has been a key element in the growth of Brovarney Baits.

    They are our best customer.

    Chris is the metal flack looking effect from the inside or is that in the paint job. I seem to remember hearing these things had oil mix with metal flakes inside them to keep the action going even when they are stopped.

    Or am I just flakey……

    The Sebile possessed series does contain a oil with metal flakes suspended in it. The theory behind this is for two reasons. The oil will remain in motion or move ever so slightly when at rest giving the illusion that the body is fluid and the flake is to represent scales coming off a wounded baitfish to entice a strike. I was first introduced to these lures last summer and started using them at the end of July on Lake Michigan and was extremely surprised to find out I could hammer smallies suspended over 18 – 28 fow in the mourning and they still worked in the afternoon during high sky’s. In the afternoon they would call the fish up from the depths. I continued to use them into the late fall with great sucess around Door County. I was truly amazed at the results and can not wait until spring to use them.
