They look great to me! I’ve never caught a sauger but I plan to this summer.

That’s a catcher of a lure for sure, caught me, I want one! Even you don’t catch a musky more that 25% of the time you fish for them?! They are an elusive fish. Fished for a week in Canada and we caught 7 between 3 guys. The fish of 10,000 casts.


My best is 5 in one day. But I have went time after time and not raise a fish.

I have a hunch that your nickname growing up was "Picasso Mike". You are not only a great lure maker...but an awesome painter as well. I've never see such a realistic colorization on a lure that mimics an actual fish species. Some mass produced stuff comes close, but your's is one of a kind! Very nicely done!

In a way I am kind of worried about it getting tooth marks on it!

Unless it's on the truck. Some of Y'all doing great work. Think I'll stay out of the limelight. Fins may make it run funny but worth a try🎣🎣

I think Fins are used as a defense weapon when a fish goes into a defensive mode it will flair its fins exposing needle like weapons. But when they are running away it swims with its fins down and that’s when they get ate. I don’t know I’m probably completely wrong on that thought.

The lure is fantastic. The muskies just weren't cooperating or just not there.

Mike quoted a saying of his mom on the stage a long time ago. Something about, you can't do it if you don't try. Mike's a trier.

That is a ridiculous idea! If it doesn't work, send it to me to try in the west coast
