Actually a couple of firsts; besides being the new owner of some mad scientists rogue projects I partook in a joint effort to create a couple scoundrels which were best left in the autopsy room. Ye gods what happened?

I cannot wait to see what has become of the other lures awaiting their trial by wombat. Hoping to give these a run soon as the season is just opening up. Best get out there before complete lockdown.

Chris, it scares me to think what mutant derelict will be on the other end of my line when I use these….is there insurance for this kind of thing???

All that can be said is I am proud owner of some Chernobyl esque swines offal, couldn’t be happier!!!

Soon as the weather clears up I hope to get back out and get some pictures. The Martinis Chris sent are killer, very wide sway on these. Absolutely love the action.

Chris, only suggestion I have on the Martini is that's its a tad light and hard to pitch. Aside from that these are solid, I haven't seen any other lure swim like these.

I agree, the krewfische look spectacular after receiving "the bite treatment."

That grin hat grin on that frog though...makes me wonder?

THAT grin appears on Chris's face whenever he has another idea (either appropriate or inappropriate) enters his headLOL

Thanks again for these wonderful lures. Hoping to get some pictures soon, mind you I'm not the best photographer.

Those Martini's/Marteeny are great little lures, no idea how about flat heads, but trout dig them. Going to switch the hooks out to something larger, hope you don't mind. After missing 20+ fish the other day changes must be made. Same for my Ollie's, countless strikes, even had the fish on for a bit. The hooks are top notch, its the size. Some things I picked up from experience, and tips from a sagacious semi local tournament Bass Pro Angler.


As for the LL Auction, let me know and I will donate these Fuglyfysche back, mind you I am keeping one for me self. Look forward to the end result, hope to get a few in the post for you and Ollie soon. Got the time, lacking the confidence and will power.

Without doubt the fish are very aggressive to these, you totally knocked it out of the park with this build. I even threw out my own against yours and Ollie's, I know when I've been beat....

A couple of little trout on the Martini. Landed a bunch more since the past couple days, haven't tried the Fugly Fische yet.


Still hoping to get a decent fish once the herd of dummies thins out, really hard to get prime real-estate on the river currently. Sloppy jalopy seconds with the added bonus of picking up others trash, woot!
