Who has fished w/BERNZY'S Plugs?...

I was out last night field testing one of Bernzy's swimmers and was very impressed with the action of the lure!...

Nice job tuning it up Bernzy!!!

It had a great swag on the retrieve, and I found it to be a very versatile lure for slow surface retrieve and as a great diving swimmer!...

The ONLY reason I didn't catch any last night with it was because nothing was biting anywhere around me...

Otherwise, I would consider this one of the deadliest lures in my arsenal!

If anyone else has used his plugs, please feel free to chime in on them!...

I think that Bernzy makes some amazing plugs!

And to his credit, I think we owe him at least some feedback on how they swim & how they catch!...

I'm amazed that he hasn't heard more testimonials about the action & successes others have experienced while fishing with his masterpieces!

Anyone else like to chime in on this?...

Bliz, Christian, Chum,

I really appreciate your feedback. It is a way for me to improve my plugs. I now live about 850 miles from my old stomping grounds in RI and I only get back to fish the Salt 2 times a year.
I test them out here, but the true test is in the surf and the rips.

Thanks again,

Bernzy

These are early efforts.
My first swimmer and the first plugs painted with my airbrush.

yep, I second guzz's sweetwater comment. Have taken some smallmouth on Bernzy plugs here. Also had a larger critter (probably striper) hit a needle this spring, but some idiot did not set the hook right and I missed it. First time I tried a needle in freshwater. Always provide him feedback too. He was my airbrush teacher so I gotta help out somehow

Bernzy's purple haze paint job is sweet! Used in the daylight the golden shimmer in the paint reflects through the water column!
Winch loves Bernzy paint jobs.
