R.M. Smith Dannys...

what do you guys think of them? Obviously if you want to pay an arm and a leg for the Beachmasters on Ebay.. then thats fine. But I am looking for the closest ones to the Beachmasters and those look pretty impressive. I just wanted to know if anyone has had experience with these or R.M. Smith lures at all?

One of the best in the market. Fit finish and quality is top notch. I have caught many bass with his plugs.

His plugs are great. Proven fish catchers.

Seven minutes !@&^!@^#

These aristocrat plugs crack me up. They're going to find surf fishermen dead on the rocks with a broken line and 2 slit wrists.

i havent got my hands on any yet but i missed the last batch that i was tryin to get cause they went so fast. they are obviously good lures and fish magnets.

fish magnets is a bit strong but they swim true, with little roll and stay consistant with use (don't take on water). that's all you can really ask of a danny (aside from being pretty)- the rest is up to the user.

danny's seam to be one of the toughest plugs to get right. Seams like all the better ones are really tough to come by - BM, RM Smith, Troublemaker

True. I managed to snatch a couple before the seven minutes ran out.

sometimes you can buy them here if you watch the sponsor board.

i think I have more confidence in his plugs than any other wood plug i fish. Perhaps also the bernzy howdy too.

the smaller peanut at daybreak tossed into the rocks.... slam.

as close to 'fish magnet' as i have seen outside of bait.

i bent my wookie

First off I want to say thank you all for the kind words. It means a great deal to be respected by my peers. It has been a long year for me as I have been working a lot of hours - and hearing those comments makes it all worth while. I can't thank you all enough.

As for the e-bay thing - I haven't ever sold anything on e-bay (not that I have a problem with it - just never done it). I think some of mine come up from time to time - but they aren't coming directly from me. I do sell directly but I've got a pretty big backlog right now. I also sell to a number of shops. You are always more than welcome to contact me via PM or phone and I can, at the very least, tell you which shops have what. There is a shop on the vineyard that just recieved an order today - and I confirmed with them that they are willing to ship plugs.

Thank you again to all of you guys! I can't tell you how pleased I am with your success!

Ryan
