Buddy, I did purchase a couple lures from Lake Shaker. The guy was OK with me, nothin' negative about other lures, just pointed out all the things in his lures that he thought made them special. Looks like a well made lure, I got a couple big ol' things so I can get me some Popeye lookin' forearms after cranking for a day. One with big willows and another with some big azz copper & black.
When I was at Thorne Brothers the guy tells my wife "He can look at 'em but not touch anything,,,,,,,Uh, just kidden'". So I left.
