Thanks to our volunteer Doug (Bassin_Blvd) we are going to pass around another new lure.I am not sure what the lure is yet but he will probably chime in and let us know.
I will be doing my best to keep track of the progress of the lure as well as any members interested in participating.
I will start a list of names in no particular order here and add to it as members post that they want to participate.
When you finish with the lure pick a member to send it to or simply ask someone to PM you.
In the other thread it was determined that there is really no way to make a set time limit to how long you can keep it.
Just fish with it when you can.Everbodys situations are different,but try not to keep it too long.If you are unable to fish for a while due to whatever circumstances Try to send it to the next person in the interest of keeping it moving and getting it around to more members.
It may come back to you sooner or later.
Please try to post updates whenever possible.There were a lot of posts on the last thread asking where the lure is now and who is getting it.
Post your photos and have fun.GOOD LUCK!
***MY appoligies to all the members who replied on the season one thread asking to be included.I figured it would be easier to create a brand new thread and start taking names to avoid any confusion.

I'm in.
I missed last years but really want to participate this year.
Bass doesn't open here until end of June, so I guess keep me in mind during the hot days of summer.
i want to be in
Edit: Forgot to add, im in the north so i wont need it until April or after.
Count me in after March. April or May or any time after that.
Sounds fun I'm in!
Count me in I will be starting to fish on Tuesday. So let me know when I can get the lure. What is the lure going to be??
If I could get it torwards the end of Feb. that would be great. I have a trip planned to Lake Fork for the 24th and 25th.

I think he is sending it to fishindaddy first,then I may be up for second or third.I'll see what I can do Matt. That timeline may work out. 8-)
Okay fellas/gals, I'm sending this crankbait out. It is a brand new Luck Craft RC 1.5. I had a hard time trying to decide which crank to send out since everyone fishes different types/depth of water. I really wanted to send out one that runs 6-8 but I figured that would be too deep for those restricted to shallow ponds. This lure will run to 4' and can be viewed here. It is the Copper Perch one.

I recommend using #12-15 mono and be careful, the darn hooks are sharp. OUCH! Good luck and let's keep it moving.
Doug.
P.S. I'll be sending it to FishnDaddy first.
Are we going to come up with a penalty system for anyone who loses it? ;D (Wait,I better be careful,it could be me.. :-X)
Too late?
If not count me in anytime after April 1.
It won't work too good for Ice Fishing!
Holy crap!! Now i have to have that thing for my Fork trip. That is exactly the kind of bait we will be banging of the stumps that time of year. Great color and everything.
If I get it for the trip and hang it up on a stump I will replace it with the exact same thing.
I really hope I get that.
QuoteAre we going to come up with a penalty system for anyone who loses it? ;D (Wait,I better be careful,it could be me.. :-X)
Hmmmm, lets see. The lure cost 15 bucks but If I was worried about losing the money then I wouldn't send it out. It should be replaced with something if lost, even if it is a less expensive one. How does this sound?
1. If you lose the lure then you have to replace it with the exact one and have the new one shipped to the next person in line.
2. You may opt to buy a less expensive one but to make up the difference you have to wash a pair of Muddy and Burley's underwear, but that may be considered hazardous material.
3. Or perhaps have someone video you going to/into the tackle shop to buy a replacement while wearing the opposite sex clothing. Guys wear a dress and high heels. Or maybe dying your hair orange and green and have it video taped while dining at a nice restaurant. The video has to be played on here.
Tokyo Tony and I will do it. That color will work great up here for smallies. After I get a fish, I'll just hand him my rod so theres no need to retie. Summer would be good.
I'm down since it's a shallow runner
QuoteTokyo Tony and I will do it. That color will work great up here for smallies. After I get a fish, I'll just hand him my rod so theres no need to retie. Summer would be good.
I'll have no part of this.
Just kidding - I'm in
I'm in just can't get it until spring cause can't really use it with ice. Haha
Im in. End of april would be best for me.
count me in for season 2, no sooner than april.
this lure is perfect. i really got good with shallow crankbaits last season, my top producer being the DT Fat 03, so i should be able to do pretty well with this crank!
and it will be easier to cast than that tiny rapala floater
woo hoo season two!
Count me in for May or after.
Im in. Any time is good for me. No Ice ;D ;D ;D
I mailed it out yesterday (Saturday) to Bassn_Fin@tic.
Looks like we need a few more participants from down south. There are quite a few of us with ice still.
QuoteI mailed it out yesterday (Saturday) to Bassn_Fin@tic.
Got it today.SWEET! Perfect for a lot of the water I fish. I want to go tomorrow to a flooded orange tree flat in in 3-7 ft of water at my local lake. I may get rained out tomorrow though :-/ last chance before the major front that is going to @#$% our weather up for the next several days. Ya,I know the northerners are going boo-hoo,but daytime highs around 59 are no joke around here and you better bring a crowbar to pry the fish's mouth open >
Would like to keep it until at least next week until this evil bluebird crap passes,but we'll see.

Your not joking about that cold front. You might as well not even go out on to the lake. If you dont have somebody in mind i could take the lure next.
Fishindaddy was supposed to get it first.I am gonna keep it for a few then pm him. I don't really see any southerners on the list yet so you will be one of the first.
I didn't make it out today and was drooling over the pre frontal conditions :-[

Sounds like cruel and unusual punishment.
I'd rather be waterboarded. ;D
Im in NC so i can fish it anytime! I missed it last time so fingers are crossed.
I've been thinking about getting this lure for my Feb 24th and 25th Fork trip since the lure choice was announced. I'm super hung up about catching a Fork monster on it for some reason. So I'm going to make a deal. Whoever has it just before my trip, if they can get it to me by the 23rd and I don't catch at least a Fork 6lber on it I will buy them 2 of the exact same lure in the color of their choice. Takers?
LOL, I am game except I don't want to keep the lure quite THAT long.
Im in!!
Ill take that thing in mid Feb. right before matt...lol
I would love to be included this time, I have struck out so far with these lure mailing things on this website. I'm ready send me the darn lure!!! you already know I will catch us a nice Florida Pig!!!!
I'm in when it gets warm
Sounds like fun! I've got a great pond to try it on that I almost beat my pb on last spring. If I'm in can I make sure it's after say March 1st?
BTW, does the person that is gonnna send just pm for an address and we do the same when it's time to send it on?
QuoteBTW, does the person that is gonnna send just pm for an address and we do the same when it's time to send it on?
You got it.
Count me in I can fish it any time, in fact I have a tournament tomorrow.
Nada.I went ahead and sent it to Fishin_daddy today. I really never had a good chance to use it and don't want to keep it too long.Seems like this cold spell we had knocked the fish back and I haven't found any in the areas where this bait could excel.Maybe it will come around again sometime.Nice bait though.
Count me in anytime is fine but mid April thru the summer would be best. This looks like fun. I think we should keep track of our fish catches and see how many fish get caught on this lure as the season goes on. Pics of the hogs caught would be great also. Heck maybe this lure will net someone there PB or a tournament win!
I will be keeping track kinda like a chart or something.
Got it in the mail today. My nephew and I are heading out to Kissimmee in the morning to give it a shot.
How did it go?
I am in.
Send it my way whenever you want to.
I look forward to some of the pictures you guys start posting soon.
When are we going to start seeing pics???
Yall should put a real printed pic with the lure than make a book as to where its been on the map and what its caught just thought it would be a kewl trick.
I'll join in if it's still open
Sorry guys, but the weather here has been crap. These cold fronts every 4 days has the fish all screwed up and not shallow where they should be. I have taken it out twice with no fish caught on it. I am fishing it again Sunday in a tournament and will mail it out on Monday. The first post after this one that wants it will get it.
I hear ya FD. The big girls are spawning and feeding. I have 10 so far already going over 5 lbs bed fishing only.Problem is like you said though,establishing a pattern for shallow cranking and spinnerbaits and such.They keep pulling out to the drop offs and deeper flats. Not happening. All the bedding fish I been getting are in small bodies of water.The bigger bodies I fish I haven't seen nothing but tilapia beds.
Good luck! The bite is weird this time of year and it's feast or famine.
I'll take it. A little late for my Fork trip, but I'll be going the next week.
I am in, but not for another couple months still a foot of ice on my favorite fishing hole.
I must admit it was pretty cool getting the BR lure today, seeing a few teeth marks in it and wondering where and how they got there. I hope I can add a few more.
QuoteI must admit it was pretty cool getting the BR lure today, seeing a few teeth marks in it and wondering where and how they got there. I hope I can add a few more.
Teeth marks??!! Post up fishin daddy. What did ya get on it? Or did you just rub it with a little sand paper ;D
I would like to say that those were teeth marks but... they are not. They are battle scars though. I took it out 3 times in the midst of the barrage of cold fronts and bounced it off of every piece of cover in Lake Kissimmee with no bites. I think I have beat the zeros out of it. You guys can now catch all the big ones.
Had a great day on Fork on Tuesday. Unfortunately I was only able to manage one crankbait fish. They really wanted plastics flipped to the edge of trees, but fortunately this 5 lb 8oz girl wanted the BR lure.
Who wants it next. I can't mail it until a week from tommorow b/c of work commitments. I would like to get it to someone attending the roadtrip that way they can bring it with them and several members can give it a whack in the course of a week.
This is the first time I've run across this thread! (dunno how I could have missed it! :-[ )
We're finally starting to thaw out a little down here, and I've whacked a couple of nice smallies and a couple of decent lmb already (better than Stu, whom for all I know is still SKUNKED for '09!!).
So, I'm ready, Coach...put me in! I'd love to get on this list, if for nothing else than an excuse to have to get out on the water again ("Honey, I hate to skip church this morning, but these guys are depending on me for an updated report..."" ;D )
I'd be in for this if it's not too late. I wont be in need of it until Mid- Late April or later. Once you southern guys are done you can sent it up to Iowa!
No responsed to my post???????????? First person to PM gets it next.
Can you add my name to the list if its still open?
Thanks
Dan-O
Whoever wants the LURE needs to send Mattm their address so he can mail it out.
Just PMed matt if he hasn't sent it to someone else yet!
I'll happily take it in about 2 weeks. Got several trips planned to a couple of places.
Nick, if you get it I guess I'll take it after you.
Drmn, Since I'm just right around the corner, could I get it after you? Maybe we could meet somewhere for the "dropoff" instead of having to mail it?!
Tks!
Why dont you guys send it to someone going on the Bass Resource Road trip?
There are a lot of guys to choose from, maybe get a pic of the lure with a bunch of members.
osbornj2, sounds good. If we met halfway we'd be around the James somewhere which only means another fishing oppotunity for me.

I requested that exact thing and didn't get any takers. IF someone wants to give it a shot I will bring it to the trip and we can pass it along to several members. Whoever has it last though has to agree to send it to Nick after the trip since he was the first one to speak up.
On a side note it is going to be a new lure. A 10lb bowfin decided to make it lunch at Fork on Wed. I got it back but it is not pretty. The dang thing only caught 3 fish. I thought LC's were supposed to have good finishes.

HaHa. They do when you're not catching fish that have a blender for a mouth.
torn up finishes are what makes the BR Lure awesome! if the lure still works i say you keep it in action.
its warming up here, i'll take the lure sometime in a few weeks.
So where is it at now? Did it make it to the roadtrip?
I just received it today from ***! ;D ahha It's a 3.5 huge lure. I'll get it out fishing with it this weekend or the next and if not the weekend after this one I'll just send it to the next person. I'll post after I'm done with her.
Dang it I think I messed up. Not the one I intended to order. I didn't notice the size differences on this particular lure. I hope its not to big for some folks.
Why has it been 20 days without any updates? Where's the lure? Who's getting it next? What in the world is going on around here.

x2
PM sent to Nick...Would love to get into this action.
Nick had the lure last as far as I can tell. What's up Nick? Let's keep this thing going please or at least update us with the status of the lure. Last years Lure Fun went very smooth but this years is a bit disappointing. If you lost it then say so. If you're going to keep it and not pass it on then say so. JUST SAY SOMETHING.
Got a PM from Nick, should be receiving it soon
Glad to hear that. I hope you catch some gooduns with it.
Anymore pictures of fish caught with the lure?
Sounds like a great idea! Count me in ;D
Count me in also. Even though I may be young I already have 17$ on hand for the lure replacement and also know how to work the mail system!!!
anything going on with this?
Never received it and I've moved from Fort Drum, NY...Now in Pensacola, FL
This is the first time I checked this thread in 3 months and I guess I didn't miss anything. : I was going to be keeping track of it and who caught what but theres still no photos,no news,no action,and the year is getting late. Is the lure gone. Are we gonna just go ahead and cash this thread now? :-?
I believe Nick had the lure last. Nick's last post was in April 2009 and he was last on-line in May. Nick seems to have dropped of the BR planet.
This years BR lure fun has been a total disappointment, unlike last years that went very well.
yeah this year's was a bummer... :-/
i guess that nick kid got a free lure >
Man...I sent him a PM w/ my address and said lure was on the way...3 months later...No Lure
Well this was no fun!!!!
Sorry guys had some family problems and wasn't in town where all my fishing stuff was. I have the lure that I got to use maybe 3 times before I left. Very sorry I pretty much screwed the br lure season...hopefully there's enough of fall left to save it? If I knew I was going out of town for all of summer I would've sent it off before I left but it was such sort notice and it was the last thing I had on my mind. Once again very very sorry, I will be sending to the guy that messaged me unless there's someone else I need to send it to if it's over.
well its good you didn't disappear off the face of the earth... :-?
I'll take it next if that other guy doesn't want it any more, or i'll just take it after that guy.
hey Great News everyone ...received the Lure today...Thanks Nick...I'm going to be out of town for a bit so first to PM me will get it next...
PM sent
PM sent
well guys Bernie is not able to send the lure till December when he graduates, so im gonna pass on it this time and get it in the spring.
someone from the South get it from Bernie!
Why can't Bernie ship it until December. I gave up on this thread months ago and decided to check in.
Nick, thank you for coming forward and passing the lure on.
He went off to school and left the lure at home.
QuoteHe went off to school and left the lure at home.
Why didn't i just ship it to you then?
i don't know. that makes sense doesn't it? i guess he had already left for school by the time i pm'd him.
Yeah...I left TX around the end of September...I was going to bring it w/ me but one of the "little" things I forgot to pack....sorry bout that every1
The trouble with this is that all it takes to mess it up is ONE person to NOT take it seriously enough to either handle it right or take responsibility and replace it when something goes wrong.
QuoteThe trouble with this is that all it takes to mess it up is ONE person to NOT take it seriously enough to either handle it right or take responsibility and replace it when something goes wrong.
i know, right.... :-[
i would like to be in.
OK...OK...OK...here is what happened...when Nick went to mail it off I had already left Watertown, NY and was heading to San Antonio, TX...when we finally got around to the new address and everything I was on my way to Ft Leonard Wood for school and wasn't returning back untill the end of November. When the lure arrived at the house I had already left for Fort Leonard Wood and I knew I wouldn't have time to do any fishing since our schoold days where not stop w/ work on the weekends. Now since I've been home I don't have time to fish right now since my wife is having some complications w/ the pregnancy. So "knap" if you want the lure I'll mail it to you ASAP...just PM me w/ u're address...sorry bout this but timing was way off on the exchange w/ this one.
This thread is dead.7 pages of people asking where in the world the lure is...This is the first I've even checked it in months.I don't really think people get the idea of how these things work. We tried to make the rules clear. There are people on the list that haven't posted in months and others have things going on in their life.All that is understandable but if you sign on for something like this you have to stay committed and if your not sure about when you can use it or what kind of obligations you may have coming up then don't bother.
I think maybe we should just start a new one???
^ i agree.
did we even get any pictures of any fish caught with this one?? :-[
so sad that we never got pics and that it was lost.
I want in
I'd like a shot at it. I realize I'm late getting in but it sounds like fun.
I know this post died almost a couple of years ago but is anyone still wanting in on this? Finally back to FL and getting in on some good fresh and salt water fishing. Have a trip to Hurricane Lake next week and going to put the Lure into action....
I've never done it and would like in if other people are.
I'll start a new thread and stay good on my promise and get this going. I know it ended w/ me but I'll make it right. I still have the crank bait in it's package still in the box from tackle warehouse.
