If it swims like a trout and looks like a trout then it must be a ........Mattlures hard trout. http://momentoffame.com/snapshots/MomentOfFame/l66360.jpg http://momentoffame.com/snapshots/MomentOfFame/l66359.jpg

Matt, Looks pretty trick man. I can tell you spent a lot of time on the attention to detail aspects of the lure and the coloration is very nice. I was wondering if the bait is really that all or if the photo is a little distorted? It looks as tall as the 12" castaic rubber trout in that pic. Not that that's bad, it's just a really big bait :)

Rob, I dont think the photos have distorted it much, but I can assure you the shape is 100% accurate except for the joints. It may look a little tall maybe because most of the other trout baits are not correct. look at next to picture of a healthy real trout and you will see. I pride myself on realism, not just the way they look but the way they swim too. You will see when I send you some of my soft trouts. Matt

Cool - yeah there is a lot to be learned by looking at real trout compared to lures. It's wierd how they compare and how you find that a lot of lures (ones that work and one's that aren't so great) are not always really shaped all that much like a trout. The problem is, I have to get them all just in case one really works good. Damn my tackle box is getting crammed! There could be worse problems in life :)

Unreal, i mean really...........unreal. Beautiful work Matt! You got skills, keep it up. Looks like the most realistic trout hardbait yet. Did you cast the mold from a real trout? Also, when will this bait be available more or less? Peace, Moon
