Lure Review By: Don Shoopman Previous12 Next

	Trapped bubbles make Sidewinder deadly January 2010 It’s lots of fun to catch bass, which is one reason a widely known artificial-lure manufacturer calls his newest product, Sidewinder, a “fun little worm.” Without a doubt, it catches bass.

	Flex Head Jigz unlike other bass lures December 2009 Think of this brand-new jig as a bass fisherman’s dream version of an all-terrain vehicle. It’s an artificial lure that acts alive and apparently looks delicious to bass, fished shallow or deep, around rocks or wood and anything else they tend to hang out on.

	Trout, reds just love Shiney-Hineys November 2009 When speckled trout are biting, really in a feeding frenzy, they will bite on anything.

	What’s not to love about Sweet Beaver? September 2009 The story about one of the most popular soft plastics coast to coast, border to border, is oh, so sweet.

	Big bass seem to love Swim Senkos August 2009 Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits’ Swim Senko has gotten into the swim of things in the swimbait market in a big way.

	Humdingers still a hit with bass, anglers June 2009 Like a good wine, Humdinger spinnerbaits made by T&T Lures are getting better with age.

	Chug Head a hit with topwater anglers May 2009 It isn’t surprising that an innovative artificial lure manufacturer who lives in a region where he can catch 15 different species of fish in his favorite cove has come up with the Chug Head.

	Active bass putting on Lipstickers September 2008 Everybody was baking before and just after a mid-July weigh-in for a major-money bass tournament on a hot day at Lake Neely-Henry in Alabama.

	Hey buddy, can you keep a Secret? August 2008 “The Secret” is out: Redfish can’t hide from the H&H Lure Co. spoon designed mostly by a Metairie outdoorsman who specializes in sporting goods and racks up redfish after redfish on the FLW Redfish Tour.

	Bayou bass seem to love ChatterBaits July 2008 Soon after the ChatterBait craze subsided somewhat in the mid-2000s, there was a big bass tournament in the heart of Acadiana.

	Light, strong spinner sweeping Missouri January 2007 For something so light, it sure is strong.

	Trout, reds love new Shrimp Cocktails November 2006 Give one of Louisiana’s veteran saltwater fishing guides a popping cork and a Shrimp Cocktail made by Bass Assassin, and chances are good he’ll limit out while fishing around Lafitte, Lake Salvador, Bay Round, Barataria Bay and Little Lake.

	Gary Yamamoto gets a little salty July 2006 There’s a little salt in the freshwater world of artificial lure-manufacturing giant Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits.

	Creme packages fun in new baits May 2006 Creme Lure Co.’s owner described over the telephone recently how he was holding his hands a little more than 8 inches apart. Then Wayne Kent told how he was holding his hands about 24 inches apart.
