Figured out better design hopefully work with electric engineer for optimum charge for attraction to different species. Maybe some led lights charged by kinetic energy. Going to need an infro commercial one day. Do remember Roland's Martin Helicopter lure. My college roommate and former team tournamen partner won the Bass Master Classic last year

Good to hear from you. Yes, we had a couple great trips. I think we caught around three dozen total with lgst over 40#. Great to get away from winter, but spring is springing here and it wont be long!

Three dozen wow. Even magnets are tricky. https://www.magcraft.com/magnetic-orientation

Great trip! Caught something like three dozen with one over the magic 40# mark!
Spring is springing in Minnesota! Have a great season.

Buzzbait prototype bass slam and kicker too. The bigfish was hooked at crushers and released fine.

That's a beauty!!

Larry, nice muskie on Instagram. Been trying to figure out solutions to problems with prototype. Made some adjustments. The buzzbait really works better than typical industry standards in my opinion. Spinnerbaits work better than typical industry standards. Hope life is good.

Been chasing them quite a bit and they've been pretty cooperative. Getting hard to keep count. two more yesterday actually. Being careful not to post too many...
Hope you're having a good season. Good to hear from you!

Refined components of prototype wire baits starting to see better results. I got a few other designs in the works just need about 50 day on water for testing. Larry Hope you and family have merry Christmas. My son got PB smallmouth in the summer. Arig works too

No best way I know than to try and make a contact by phone, be convincing enough to set up an appointment and go from there. Might be useful to have good footage of the lure in the water and concise pitch on the why it's better part.
These guys get flooded with stuff and many are pretty hard to approach. Others are more open. Guess it depends on how hungry they are.
You could sure approach Simon Chan at River2Sea. He's a super good guy and would never steal an idea from anyone even if it wasn't protected.
Great to hear from you!
I wish you the best of luck, and a great holiday season!

Is Simon attending the Bassmaster Classic and expo 2022? If so, I can meet him in Greenville, SC? I have some better designs with more alumilite products that no one has ever seen.

[dahlberg]

I guess either go to one of the trade shows and visit person to person with anyone whos interested, or get on the phone and do the same!
If you have any personal contacts who are "pros" and believe in your concept they might be of help in making an introduction to one of their sponsors.
