Good deal, I can only hope that I'll have the same luck. Kees can you give us a rundown on who had it + their geographic location? I can come up with a map graphic on where it has been...  |

I will keep everyone posted! |

Well, after the lure arrived, so did Hurricane Irene. After that, the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee - the northeast US is just a mess right now, luckily I'm in higher terrain...my home lake is as high as it as ever been, which has really turned the fishing to crap. Towards the end of the day today after a bad day of fishing I was half-heartedly casting around the HotHead XR-10, fully not expecting to catch anything.   Lucky for me I have this 20" chain pickerel to show for it - on to the next person! Who gets it next? |

GREAT!!! Well done Ted!! I think it might be time to replace the trebles on this one, I am pretty sure I have an extra X-Rap lying around so I can swap out the rear one at least... |

I kinda like the way it is showing that it has taken a beating. is it possible to just sharpen it or is it too late for that??

Fair enough, but I also noticed the first treble is also too large for this lure, it must have been replaced at one point...If anything the first treble should be downsized a bit. I guess we can leave the rear treble as is... |

Ok, then replace the first treble for one in the right size.
thanks for doing this!

Just recieved the lure today. The pack of hooks you sent with it, are they the ones that are supposed to be on it or are they for just in case? I'm gonna be going to the lake this weekend, so we'll see what we can do.

I'm gonna be going to the lake this weekend, so we'll see what we can do. I added in a pack of SureSets in case you wanted to replace the front treble, the treble that was on there looked kind of big so I figured it was probably replaced at one point.... |

Hi everybody,
I'm liking this idea and it looks like a thread that could run and run !!
Unfortunately I've only recently discovered this site otherwise I'd have offered to take her / him ?? to Guinea Bissau with me in a few weeks, I'm sure she would pick up more than a few battle scars out there as well !!
