News to report

[Got Stripers]

On the personal front, I'm happy to say I've closed a deal on a new job and will be starting in February. I'm looking forward to getting back behind a desk and off the roof.

On the Ledge Runner front, I've just uploaded the new color page, it's been updated to reflect colors being dropped (no demand) and those added. If the page is too slow to load let me know, but with dailup everything is slow for me. It's really hard to get the true colors to show, so I've tried to use a color in the font that's close, along with a description. I'll have samples of them all at both shows for anyone wanting to take a look. For those that have a favorite color #, make sure it hasn't changed in the lineup.

I think the rainbow shad color will be a good one, obviously the new blue back herring for the spring run and the starburst for those night jiggers might be a good one.

Now I need to go get warm, catch a few fish for a long weekend, all on short notice and on a very tight budget, any suggestions?

To be honest, there was almost no demand for the flukes. If you add to it, the fact it was my version of a couple designs that sparked my madnesss well over a decade ago, I'm sort of glad to say goodbye. The split tails were my version of re-engineering that bait to meet "my" standards.

Bob,
I had never seen anything like it, and had some plans for it on a 'chute instead of pork or a mario's.... maybe some split tails instead...

Congratulations Bob!

You deserve some good news for a change!

I'm looking forward to hearing even more from you this year!

[tlapinski]

way to go! i have a question for you. how long are these?

[Got Stripers]

Toby, from the line tie to the hook bend about 3-1/8”, believe it’s a 4/0 hook, 2-1/4” from the end of the lead to the hook bend. I’ve only got a few left and since there hasn’t been much of a demand, I’ll likely not continue to stock them. I’ll probably bring what’s left to the shows and then delete them from the website.

[tlapinski]

thanks. it looks like it might be something i could use on the river. i'll have to take a look if you have them left when i see you at the shows.

[BobT]

Congrats on the job !! What shows will you be at? I got a job...temp to hire so i won't be spending much time under the lines this year. Maybe we'll catch you there on a weekend.

[Got Stripers]

I'll be doing the RISAA show March 5-7th and the MSBA show the end of March. I'm pouring up a ton of plastic over the next couple weeks, in addition to what's in stock. If the new job is taxing on time and any new job typically is, I might have to limit what I can pour to order. Shows will definately help stock folks up though.

Good news Bob, Good luck!
