So how many lure builders on here have their baits being used in the Classic? If your bait is part of the winning stringer how does it affect your business? Thanks.

Wished I had someone fishing my baits at the Classic

I heard a rumor of one lure painter that got some of his patterns "borrowed" by a major manufacturer. Maybe it's not all it is cut out to be...

I know of 3 different guys using Elk River Jigs. One of them is because he left some of his tackle at home and went into one of the local tackle stores and bought quite a few of our jigs to use. Hope one of them will mention us on national tv.

Our Jigs are there! Crossing our fingers.

6th place finisher in Angler of the Year points Matt Herren is there in his Santone wrapped Skeeter.

Sometimes in this industry it's better not to kiss and tell.

I know of a few painters that have been ripped off persay.

I know there are a few that use 6th Sense cranks but no idea if will be used this weekend

C'mon Ivan how many times has Talon kissed and told on the TFF? On a serious note...So i guess those that replied are hoping they get plugged!! Good luck to all of you!

No one who is not on our staff has ever been told on. We have been doing this a very long time and discretion is one of the reasons that we have a great reputation among top level anglers. Having one of your anglers make the Classic and get televised coverage using your baits is quite an honor and what we all hope to accomplish through our staff. We've been blessed to have had the experience ourselves.
