Thought this was the best "synopsis" of what the top 10 were doing there:

Nothing too crazy in there, but I was drawn into 4th place Greg Bohannan's crankbait in the picture: Skirmish Baits A10 crankbait.

So I did the homework:

As if you didn't need another reason to go online and buy more Wiggle Wart imitators......

This company actually has some good looking baits, in some appealing colors.

 

That is Dwayne Batey's company (not sure if he is full owner or partial). He used to be a top notch custom painter out of Siloam Springs. Used to be called BaitWerks custom bait painting. About a year or two ago he quit that full time and devoted all his efforts to only painting for Skirmish baits. Had him do a handful of pre-rap wiggle warts for me about 5 years ago. Man is a talent with the airbrush no doubt.

Please, no more Wart type baits.

I saw that. Rigged upside down...probably just to screw with peoples head. Wonder how many of them left out the bait they really did best with.

Will this tournament ever be aired on cable?
