So theyre called a fishing with your fly. When they made these little invitations

Night time bite is slow

What also makes it a great lure is that its so simple to fish

These fish were all somehow finding ways to self-release (or most likely shake out) well set crankbait treble hooks in a matter of days

He made casts toward the seawall and reeled the buzzbait back to the boat for a few minutes before the water opened up beneath the lure as a Sinclair Special, a bass about 12 or 13 inches long inhaled it

While there were lure makers that came before him, I dont think theres another person out there who can compete with the number of striped bass classics he invented
