- Sight= Most of my colors are earth tones for the jigs and forage colors for the spinner baits.
- Sound= From rattling BB eyes to the vibration that the light wire spinner baits carry.
- Smell= Minnow - Night Crawler - Crayfish

- Water Clarity and Weather Conditions= Blades of color, Diamond Dust, Skirts of Color and Size.

Stanley Pro Trailers are available for your spinner baits in two colors:
- White/Glitter
- Tomato/Blue Flake
These are not on the market for purchase and go on all my custom baits which is just one of the parts that make them a winning spinner bait.

Don, how are you attaching the hooks when you change the placement on the spooks? I had the front hook pull out when hit by a small (1-2 lb) striper. I need to attach a new hanger but not sure where to get it or how to make sure its secure.

Tomorrow is a door prize day at BPS in Grapevine. We are scheduled to have lunch upstairs at NOON. Be there for a chance to be drawn for one of my tournament baits and scent.

Hope to see everyone there.

In memory of Mr. Kreguer I have two spinner baits to give away. Sorry I am so late with this but I have been digging through all my old spinner baits to find them. I put this in the post about his passing; but felt many of his close friends did not come back to take a look.

It was in 1998 during the Travis Team Open on Lake Amistad when Elroy came knocking on my motel door. He knew that I carried my spinner bait building box with me to every tournament. He had lost his GOLDEN BOY to a huge fish in practice along one of the grass lines. These are two of the four we built that night and I am proud to have the pattern for his best spinner baits that he threw everyday on the wind blown grass.

Mr. Kreguer took Big Bass on one of these during that tournament and I finished 6th place overall. Sorry I don't know which one did the job for him but the Indiana Blade got me in the top 10. I would like these to go to his closest friends.


Please PM. me if you would like one to remember him by.
Two Kreguer Golden Boys

Get your Tilapia Spinner Baits ready.
Power plant lakes offer good fishing in colder weather months. The best time to fish theses lakes is when they are generating power. Power generation warms the water and provides current, which makes the fish be more active. Links to more popular power plant lakes:

Martin Creek Lake - Lake Fairfield - Lake Welsh - Lake Bastrop - Lake Monticello - Fayette County - Lake Calaveras - Braunig Lake - Coleto Creek - Decker (Walter E. Long) - Gibbons Creek - Graham - Brandy Branch - Squaw Creek

Green Tilapia


Hologram Tilapia


Black Tilapia


Golden Tilapia
