SECRET WEAPON
Web site: www.secretweaponslures.com

Secret Weapons Lures is on the cutting edge of spinnerbait and buzzbait designs. The sidearm spinnerbait is credited for 3 tournament wins for me in 2007, winning over $2,000.00. I first learned of the sidearm spinnerbait after enlisting in the Special Ops Program and winning an ABA tournament on Kerr Lake in Jun 2007, a Secret Weapon Quick Strike 9/16 oz in Citrus Shad was my key bait in getting to deeper fish. I received my new Sidearm pack and started throwing it on my home lake, 3 wins and over $2,000 later I couldn’t keep it a secret anymore. The buzzrbait is another weapon in my arsenal, the black buzzrbait (which I throw religiously in water 53 degrees and above) is credited with numerous fish over 5 pounds, including the one on the Secret Weapons bragging board of 7 pounds. The entire Secret Weapons Lures offer the quick blade change; this in itself enables you to save time in changing blades for changing conditions as the day goes on. "Get them off, get them on, and get back to catching."

DEEP CREEK LURES

Website: www.deepcreeklures.net
The main reason for the start of Deep Creek Lures was that we saw the quality of the Plastic baits available on the market begin to decline. Today some companies use a Water Soluble Resin instead of Raw Virgin Plastic. This results in a bait that is dry, have very little action, and will become hard after use. At Deep Creek Lures we use only Raw Virgin Plactic. This cost more, but we fell that the Fisherman wants a Quality Product, if they are just Pond fishing with the Family or if a Tournament win is on the line, we think you will see and fell a difference in Deep Creek Lures. Give us a try, you will not be disappointed.
