creepers

[tkoosh]

Hey Ty-
Wondering if you have any creepers ready for sale? Or are they only available thru stores? I need to purchase 10 as gifts for my friends that are helping me out with my wedding. I am more interested in the black galaxy color or the black with chartreuse, or what can you offer.

Please let me know

Thanks
Tom

I wish I could help you out but as of right now I can't get any made. It might be four or five months before they are available. If you have something else in mind let me know.

Speaking of creepers, I thought this would be a good chance for a little topwater talk. Each of the last 3 Augusts I have spent a week on the Chip. I love the action of a Creeper and had a small 30 inch fish blow up on one and missed it. I used a Pacemaker a lot and also a Roughrider but got no action. I've had follows and caught a couple on Ghosttails and swimbaits. I hear a lot about Pacemakers on this site and I like the sound and profile but what are your thoughts on Creepers? The "duckling" type action is mesmerizing to me. I am interested in any topwater thoughts for the Chip.

I have fished the chip for 50 years and used topwater baits almost exclusively for the first 30. I have a creeper make by Frenchy that the fish absolutely went crazy over; hundreds of hits and big fish too but the problem is actually catching them. Probably lost 99 out of 100 and got so frustrated I completely Quit using them. I have used many surface lures and for me the topper type lure and flap tail have been the best hookers, roughrunner or pacemaker are excellent surface lures and will give you more hookups. I always liked the last 2 weeks of august on average and can be a great time for topwater action. The evening has been the best time for surface lures but days that are cloudy with weather coming can also be a good time to fish them.

Topwater can be great fun as you see everything but can also be fustrating. Now I fish mainly bucktails, crane baits and rubber baits. Mostly bucktails on my line as I simply catch more fish but there are times they will not hit them so you need to go to something else. As an example last year seemed to be a year when they would come up more for jerkbaits.

My best hooking percentage baits over the years have been in order - bucktails, crane baits, bulldawgs, pacemakers, smaller toppers,hawgwobblers

My worst hookers have been- creepers, jerkbaits, zaragossa's(side to side) and I have not had much luck with large wood baits.

All baits will catch fish but some just get fish in the boat more often.

Thats sucks, I have a couple of your creepers and love to throw them. How about the Pacemaker? Do you have 10 available in the black glitter, black green? Let me know.
The thing about these being gifts is that I wanted to have them pin stripped with our names and the date of the wedding on the back of the pacemaker and then have their nickname on the belly of lure.
Let me know if you these Pacemakers available. The 7 inch model.

[Ty Sennett]

I have those for sure. I have the green and also the black glitter. Give me a call and we can work out the details.

As for the creeper hookup talk; I also have had a tough time hooking fish with creepers. The jointed ones are the worst hooking ones. I actually have had great luck hoooking fish with Creeptonites. I usually catch more on Creeptonites and Roughrunners than I do bucktail hits. Hopefully by mid summer the Creeptonite will be available again.

Ty,

As soon as you start making Creeptonite's again I want a couple. I was really hoping I could find some online somewhere, but no dice. So put me at the front of the line please (assuming you make some more).

Thanks,
Matt

Ty,

You are correct, Razor does have a way with the ladies!!!! I really like his new move he has been using the last couple years when we come to visit... you know the one where he falls asleep in the first 15 minutes we arrive at a bar?!?!? Dude can flat out RAKE!

Anyway, now that he is married, don't you think he should pass that lure on to me? If I was his wife I would be pi$$ed that he has a bait signed by a woman. Is Ray the only one who has a custom creeptonight with the blades on it and signed by Rachel?

Peace - Fidler

[Ty Sennett]

Fidler, the answer is yes. Get over there and save that marriage.

Matt, not sure when I'm getting more of the Creeptonites. I was promissed some for the MN show but it didn't happen. I'd turn out some on the lathe but that would take too long.

Hey Ty!
Got the Pacemakers today! Thanks a lot! Thanks for the spreader hook pacemaker, cant wait to throw it!

[makins117]

Okay. If you end up having some at some point I can always get them when I come up in September.
