Flash Lite® Trolls

Just a quick note to let you know; I have spent the last forty plus years as an avid user of a certain brand of attractor troll whenever out on a lake trolling for trout.  For some reason a few days ago I picked up one of your “Flash Lite” trolls to try.  When I got out to the lake my fishing buddy of course had that certain brand I just mentioned.  Well by the time we left the lake my buddy was a mite ticked.  We used the same line, weights, leader length, bait, and etc. but your Flash Lite, a silver one 60540, out fished our old reliable 9 fish to 1.  I had to go out and buy three more because he had to have some.

We have been converted!!!

HummBait

 

“On the HummBait we have caught Walleye, Smallmouth Bass and by accident a couple of Northerns.  The one pictured here is a 38" Northern caught trolling the HummBait in 6 feet of water at Lake of the Prairies. My partner Peter Rogalka is seen here holding the fish”.

“The versatile HummBait combines multiple baits into one. It makes a lot of vibration and noise, and it catches fish in clear or muddy water.”  

Robert P., Raleigh, NC


“I recommend this bait. The spinning action is amazing—for the price, you won’t find a better lure for pike.”

Bryan T., DeKalb, IL


I am on your walleye Pro Staff and I just wanted to update you on my experiences with the HummBait.  As you know I have caught pike, bass, pink salmon, and a few walleyes on the lure.  But I thought I would try something different with it.  I am probably not the first to tell you about the presentation, but I rigged the HummBait as a teaser inline weight.  I did this by taking the hook off and running it exactly like an inline weight.  I used the quarter ounce HummBait and although it doesn’t run at the same line ratio depth as the normal quarter ounce inline it’s pretty close.
 
Anyhow I decided to go out yesterday and run a test on it.  I had 4 planer boards out so I staggered one regular inline and one HummBait inline on each side.  I ran the same hot harness on every rod and told myself I would run it like that for 2 hours and see what happens. In those 2 hours I caught 7 walleyes and lost 2.  Six were caught on the inline HummBaits, one on the regular inline, and the two I lost were on the regular inline.  I really noticed how much more aggresssive the strike was on the HummBait inline.

Sledge Hammer

"We were being watched through binoculars by the other boats because we were catching fish like mad when no one else was. We were fishing for Salmon with Sledge Hammers, and have been using them for years, because they work".

The Sledge Hammer must appear to the silver salmon, like a Salmon Steak does to you and me.

I've found that your Sledge Hammers are the best lures to use for silver salmon in Prince William Sound, particularly with colors white and green. The previous version of the lure worked even better, and they consistently caught over 75% of the fish when other lures were in the water. Unfortunately I lost my last one over the weekend. If you have any left in stock in green or white please let me know and I will buy more.
 
Thanks again!

Smile Blades

Hi, Everyone!
Just wanted to send a few photos of the fish we caught THIS year on lures I tied myself with the Mack's Smile Blades. They've worked GREAT every year we've used them, and they worked GREAT this year, too!!
These muskies were caught with the Smile blades, too, although we were fishing for walleyes at the time! My muskie was a 44" and Craig's was a 38". We LOVE it!!

Hi Bob! Just thought I'd send this pic for the Prostaff photo
gallery or newsletter. Mack's gold Smile Blades came through for me. I
made sure the crowd knew about them also.

The Smile blade does it again! I caught this on our special designed crawler harness, with Mack's Lure beads and trans Black Scale Smile Blades, (one of my favorite colors). No matter what presentation we use, it has a Smile Blade attached!

Rock Dancer

Hi I’m Jason James.  I caught this steelhead in January between Wells and Chief Joseph dams.  I was using a black and pink rock dancer from Mack’s Lures.

Mack's Lure Beads

Bob,

Mack’s Lure does it again. Another great day of Steelhead fishing on the Methow river. These photos were taken on our October 12th trip. The chinook also like Mack's beads, go figure, just thought I would share another great day of fishing.

Regards,

Double Whammy Classic

Bob,
 
Attached is a picture of a 18-lb 6-oz lake trout (36.5-inches) I just caught at Jackson Lake, WY using a Macks Double Whammy Classic spinner.  The same lure caught several cuthrought trout and smaller lakers the same day (other pictures attached also).  I was using flatfish and rapalas with no luck and then switched to the Mack spinner and the fish started biting.   I lost the lure on bottom the next day (it was my only one) but will stock up before my next trip.
 
Thanks for the help with my trophy fish!
