Didn't mean to let the cat out of the bag. I am just such a tackle junky loser that I know most every bait that is on TW. Some parent's read their kids bedtime stories.....I read mine TW lure's product descriptions.

Not to sound judgmental but don't you think you should be able to do that from memory by now?

Or do you just use the written material for the illustrations?

I print off the product pictures in color and glue them into the actual books. Should see some of my collection. The Tortoise and Hair Jig, Goldie Locks and the 3 Arm A-Rig, Hickory Dickory Dock Spooning, Little Boy SPro-Blue McStick, Snow White and the 7 Warts and finally Pop-R Goes the Weasel. I got'em all.

Tackle Warehouse is addicting. I'll go to their site just to browse then all of a sudden I've spent two hours looking at it and buying a bunch of stuff I don't need

 

In case ya'll didn't know, there is almost always a current Fishhound code for $5 off your order. Yea its not huge but thats enough to cover a bag of plastics or something

I certainly visited there today. dtrs5kprs sent me a message about a new bait he knew would interest me. My beloved Top Dollar is not readily available anymore, and he had found something that might serve as a substitute.

I still have a few of the Top Dollars I had Tim Hughes paint. I equipped these with Babler's recommended Daiichi Death Trap hooks and I tied a feathered tail for each. Now that I cannot buy blanks to replace them, I have become more hesitant to throw them. I would have a larger stash, but I gave a few to others as gifts.

I ordered a couple of baits to try out. I am very hopeful.

Im working on a few new molds that are pretty much identical to a top dollar.  Its my favorite top water bait as well.  Once i get a few poured, painted, and the weight transfer the way i want it ill send you a few freebies to play with.  Thats a unique lure that just doesnt have any alternatives, and now that its not available there arent any other brands of it.  My only option is to make em myself...but this way i plan on alleviating the inherent difficulty in casting a flat sided lure.

The splashback is a cool bait, but its not the same as the top dollar.  The splashback (possibly due to its better constuction) is more consistent in its retrieve, whereas top dollars have a tendency to walk underwater a few inches,  and is more erratic in its walk in general.  Also the belly on the splashback is straight on the bottom, as opposed to curved.  Probably to make it walk better.  Cool bait...but apples and oranges.

I continue to have a couple Top Dollars waiting at my house to be sold or traded to someone that would fish those silly things.
