    EXPLODING LURE...& THIS IS NOT A PRO

    IT IS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PACKAGE...AND NEVER WENT TO WATER.....

    I NORMALLY DO NOT MAKE THREADS SUCH AS THIS ....BUT SINCE I HAVE BEEN SUCH A STRONG ADVOCATE OF THE ILANDER PRO FOR MANY YEARS....I FEEL I MUST MAKE MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM

    ALL OF THE ONES I HAVE PURCHASED LIKE THE ONE IN THE PICTURE BELOW DID THIS ....THE HEAD FALLS OFF AND THE HAIR LOOKS LIKE IT WENT IN FOR CHEMO THERAPY.....

    IF ANYONE RECEIVED ONE OF THIS BRAND FROM ME IN ANY OF MY RIGGING SCHOOLS....I WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NEW TOURNAMENT TACKLE PRO

    PLEASE SEND ME A PM IF YOU GOT ONE FROM ME IN THE MARYLAND OR JERSEY SEMINAR

    CAUTION TO THE WIND.

    Unfortunately, I don't think you are the only one who got a bad batch of those POS's (and not limited to that particular model). Classy way to handle it, though. Not that I would expect anything else. There aren't many knock-offs that are as good as the originals.....although there are a select few exceptions.

    give those eyes a little pry with your pinkie fingernail and they are liable to pop right off too.

    i ripped all the crap off the head, ground off the ring and tied on my own witch hair the way its supposed to be done. looks pretty good.....but havent pulled it other than for a minute behind the boat in the waterway just for grins. from your pic it looks like the "neck" of the head will pull out as well....didnt happen on mine. maybe i just didnt tug on it enough.

    glad i have a supply of the real deal Iland PRO....accept no substitutes.

    BOX you can send me all the rejects to me, you do not want to mix them with the Pros. The infiltration of the POS with the PROs could cause mutiny of epic proportions.

    Hey Marty,

    I'm doing fine thanks, won't be out on the water too much until next year now. Got to fish some new water this year which was nice, and last trip wired a nice BE and a blue marlin. Can't complain. Plenty of time to make up a few more of my favourite lures and work on some new ideas.

    I'd love some of those POS eyes, really.

    Regards

    P.
