Hey Mike I have a Christmas ornament for your store.....I think it would look nice in front of one of the fish mounts.

Thanks for all of the kind words guys...much appreciated and definitely my fuel to keep recreating myself.

Lure "X" does have a name and all will be revealed come press time. I am hoping to have video to accompany the press release so you guys can see how she looks below the water.

Blue, I really haven't developed the Vesuvius past the photos you have seen. The Vesuvius is basically a tube with a flared out nose. The lure worked well but the shape was just too generic for me, not original enough to promote it as something of my own. The Vesuvius was based off a bottle of perfume. It was exploded 60% using *******400. It was then hand shaped including the skirt steps,nose and insert design. I'm sure it could be developed further, but in reality it just does not inspire me....and I will not use the name in respect to a much better and well known lure already on the market.

Got my new all Black tomahawks and put them straight to work. Rigged up one as a teaser and put a 10/0 Hookset in the other. Pulled the teaser tomahawk behind a Pink Squidchain.(Squidnation of course) Looked really nice and I have raised 4 Sails on it. Had 3 bites on the tomahawk on the Short Rigger. Caught a Sailfish today on it. Got some pics I will put up tomorrow.

Thanks Again Tom!

Wore the MarlinStar Sun Shirt today...VERY NICE!!!
