4-1/2 oz Point Jude
That new 4-1/2 oz Pt. Jude in chrome color was very very good to me. Casts very well and far. If that tin doesn't imitate a baitfish, I don't know what would. I pulled it out of the package and cast it out and bang, just like that I'm tight to a 40 pounder. Landed and released, a couple guys got a pic or 2 so hopefully winchmaster or Old Man can help me out with a picture of the beast. We knew it was up around 40 as it instantly bottomed out a 30 lb boga. Victor put it at 42 pounds and that sounds about right as I have caught a 42 pounder before.
It was well worth the loss of sleep, and even more than worth the $8.95 the tin retails for. I can't say enough about it, Thanks Joe  I looked at Tom's Bait the other day and he didn't have any, I hope more shops pick up more of your stuff, you know I'm a fan.
After I got that beauty, Victor put the same tin on but in gold 
The fish are biting, no time to waste............ |

I used the 4 1/2 oz Hammer' n Groove today and got a nice one. ( not a 40 though!) This lure casts a mile and swims very nicely.  |

Congrats B. ,as I have already told you.
I ran into Joe today for the second morning in a row. He was kind enough to give me a few of his creations. He actually was showing me one and told me to see what it looked like on his rod. First cast I took I am trying to see the metals action and a bluefish took the thing. Better add a few of these things to your arsenal they are perfect for the canal, and many other places too. Thanks again Mr. Townsend |

Hey Paul, if it wasn't for the bluefish mixed in with the bass, Pt Jude sales would plummet... 
Actually - and this isn't a paid endorsement...  ...I've had Pt Judes pull keeper bass out of a school of blues during a blitz...  ...and Habs used to use 'em himself... at night at a certain SoCo spot
