Northwest Fishing Reports

Just twisted up some Muskie ammo, Check these out!

1/4oz and 4 inches long on heavy duty .76mm (.030in) stainless steel wire (like grinding sausage)
Double blades - #5 Ridged Indiana under #3 Gold super Willow for erratic noisy action
Spotted bone bodies with nickle bead bookends
Rabbit Zonker strip tails on a 1/0 treble

Perch and Trout colors

Could cause an explosion or two!

Hmmmmm,

These could be interesting????

Are those Willow (gold) blades crimped on the bottom? It could just be a funny reflection also....

If so, any special reason for that? Just curious.

Those look pretty good. What guage wire do you use? Just wondering. Maybe think about adding a "o" ring at the end then attach the treble? How much? Thanks

Thanks for comments. There are two blades on them, the one you can see is the #5 ridged Indiana, I think one has a gold indiana, the other two are silver. The smaller #3 gold super willow is on top of it and behind on the picture and not ridged. I just like the ridged blades, especially on the Armadillo model with the discs. Theres a picture of a prototype with two super willows over in the Trout forum.. You can probably see a better picture of the Super willows on that one too.

I have some split rings and can attach the trebles on those, if that provides an advantage for swapping hooks or what? As far as the wire its been around long enough I would need to hunt for the receipt to get the exact mil, but guessing like .031in (.76mm). Its heavy duty though and pretty stiff.

For price, I will ask $6.00 ea, the assortment is 3 for $15.00. You guys get a discount of 20% on Washington Lakes, using promo code WLROCKS at checkout, so 3 for $12 is a deal.

They sure look pretty... for trout fishin'. I am looking for a bait to catch a Tiger and those are sized like a roostertail (1/4 oz?). Add a second hook, up the size of everything and you should get some buyers, all of the NW Fishermen are looking for a lure that will last past 1 fish. IMO.

Kenster,
You are right on. I have been building 3/4 once versions with a 4/0 hook and some have said that they are too small.
