No molds, no taxidermy bought replicas, no private lakes,just hand carved WOOD. This is the 16 inch Generic Trout Deadstick with presentation stand. Like all my baits you need to pre-order your "big balls hat" to fish them the way I do. Not 500 or even 300. I only charge for my time. If you pre-order your "thinking cap" buy 30 or 40 swimbaits instead (they don't have to be mine) but if you have others and you don't have mine maybe you were dropped on your head when you were a kid. Take any bait that you like whether it looks good, feels good, swims good, if it gives you confidence, fish it to death and you will get bit. Trick baits will eventually get you a big fish (10 trick baits, 10 big fish, thats a lot). Cheaper work horse baits will get you more. Example, Generic Rat 2 over 10. 16 inch Generic Trout Original Hardbait 2 over 10. Generic "Live Trout" Softbait 1 over 10. Secret Trickbait 1 over 10. Generic Trout 3-D Swimbait 17 over 10. That 23 over 10 for the 2003 year, as you can see the work horse did the damage. If you have to buy the cheapest baits you can and throw them out like you never expect to see them again and you will catch fish. As far as 50 fish per swimbait, good luck! I average 1 10 pound fish for every 50 swimbaits, if I'm lucky. I hope this will help some people to gain confidence and maybe put some of their ideas to work. Remember, if you have something special keep some for yourself. Got reply?
