I know Im new to this forum and from Oklahoma, but I want to buy one of your talapia lures, or if you have A bluegill, I will pay you what you think its worth. Im dead serious, please email me at treyk79@swbell.net. I will send you payment asap if the lures are fishable. I would love a bluegill lure , but also got an Salto trip planned for the talipia, please let me know, Im dead serious.

Sorry Trey, my plugs aren't for sale (yet). The plugs I'm making right now are for friends and myself and are basically just to get bugs worked out and make sure they work and for me to learn how to make them swim and stuff. I'm not ready to start selling them. If I ever do start selling them I'm afraid I'll have to charge a pretty penny for the plugs like the tilapia plug and stuff because of the amount of time it takes to make them and effort to get them to run straight. I also want to make sure I'm not stepping on anybody's toes who's already in the plug business. I won't name any names as an example, but let's just say there was quite a variety of Ospreys at the Fred Hall Show... I think I'm probably alright in that department because as far as I know nobody makes a tilapia plug... If I do finally get to the point where I feel confident that I can produce a plug with consistancy and not piss anybody off when they spend money on it, then I'll be sure to let everybody know. But, for now it's just to see if this is something that I could actually do. I've gotten quite a few offers, so I thought it was best that I finally posted this for all to see. Sorry again dude, I'd make you one for free but I'm way over booked as it is.

No problem man, I understand completely, I had to try though, because the outline of the tilipia looked good to me. Could you email me with what kind of wood you use and the supplies you use to make these lures, I have some good ideas, but have no clue what to use wood wise, fin wise, and how to make them swim, what kind of saw grinder, etc. If you ever get under booked, I wanna be first in line. Thanks. If anyone has any ideas for me on how to sculpt my own lure please feel free to email me at treyk79@swbell.net, my email has been broke since my last post , but it is now fixed
