BEST OFFSHORE LURE???
I'm looking for some ideas from you super experienced guys out there on your personal favorite offshore trolling lure. If you had to choose a lure what would you look for that stood out the most. Would it have to have mirrors in it like the aloha lures or abalone shell like Bart or Coggins. Would it have a slant or scoop head. Also heavier or lighter lures and lengths as well.
The reason I ask, I have made about 50 lures with differnet shapes, sizes, weights, abalone, jetted,mirror,eyes,colors, all the above it seems. I'm considering starting a small business making offshore trolling lures and would ask your help for ideas. I'm by no means trying to steal the glory of some of the bigger companies ideas but I am trying to make these lures more affordable to the average fisherman that doesn't have 2,000.00 bucks just to spend on their offshore lure collection. Especially since its relatively easy to loose the things by that wahoo that cut you off or that DAMN crimp that didn't hold just right.:banghead
Right now I have about 20 of the lures that i've made at Gulf Breeze Tackle. Victor Wright and the guys there have been great to deal with and took some from me to put on consignment considering it wasn't season for them. I have plans to meet with other tackle shops and marinas but want a little more variety to show them.
Once again any info you would like to share would be great. Ideally, i want to make these the way you guys want them in this area. Share what you like and who knows it could be named after you if it becomes a hit.
I'm willpost pics of some that have had a few thumbs up later.
Thanks again,
Bryan
