Shoestring lures
Has anyone tried some of wacky lures? Some actually look pretty ingenius, like the Topknocker, the Tornado spinner, and that one buzzbait that he made. They are on bass pros website, if you just search for Shoestring Dubois.

Bought The Topknocker When I First Started Fishing. Cant Get It To Walk The Dog. Horrible Action. Never Have Had A Problem Getting Any Other Bait To Walk The Dog. Never Tried Theother Ones.

I have a buzz bait by shoestring that has 2 different spots to tie to. One spot allows a normal straight retrieve, the other spot allows the lure to quickly dart back and forth during the retrieve. had the tornado spinner at one time, caught one nice bass on it before I managed to lose the lure.

The Tornado was a decent idea, but the Hawg Caller Triple Rattleback Vibratron (one heck of a name!) does it better. They're all heavy though.

Yep I will try the tornado, and that buzzbait bait, when I can afford them. I just bought a terminator spinner that should catch some though.

I had aTornado and it was a decent spinnerbait, then I snagged it and had to break it off.

it take a massive amount of money to produce any lure on the market.. his ideas are sound based on fishing in his area.. i have the top knocker works quite well.. not supose to work it like a spook.. but a torpeedo..

He also makes a craw that creates bubbles. When it hits the bottom it sits on its tail. It works pretty good.
