    You are speaking my language! I’m boycotting ice fishing.

    Nice looking baits! Where did you get them?

    Hopefully they put a pile of big Walleyes in the boat when you go to Erie.

    One more cast charters out in PA paints them. He’s a charter boat captain all summer and paints lures in the office season

    He does good work.

    Are they size 11’s or 9’s?

    11s, he does alot of custom bandits too. He use a 2 part epoxy clear coat. It’s hard as nails. We got tons of fish this spring on Erie and there was no signs of wear. I will continue to buy his stuff. Just need to think up more color combinations

    Yeah, I see he has a bunch of Bandits. I like the idea of the 2 part epoxy clear coat. I bet it is a lot more durable. We use a lot of Rapala BX Minnows in the spring and they have an epoxy coating, they hold up really well. Thanks for the heads up.

    Did you buy a lot off Ebay or get ahold of him and just order the colors you wanted?

    The tail dancers came off a lot. The bandits, were colors he paints often. He will do custom colors. I plan to have him make me matching #9 tail dancers. They are good colors
