I have a collection of custom painted by Buster Loving and Tim Hughes. Busters also have a bill modification. I may have as many as 30. Still throw them at times. 

If you want a few more of Tims let me know , I was thinking about parting ways with some I no longer use .

I have some Tim Hughes custom painted Rogues in clown, foiled clown, and Table Rock Shad. Still look great. 
 

Yes, I have several Devils Horse topwater baits  and still use them occasionally. Can be killer around docks in the spring. 

More of a Nip-I-Didee fan. Fishes differently, throws a little better.

By the way, if anyone watches the Bass Talk Live YouTube channel, Frank Scalish was on today and had a great session on the Rogue. Very interesting and great info. 

Will give it a look. He's a genuine stick.

Is it just me or does that guy make bass fishing way to complicated. I dont think he has ever had a day where he didnt absolutely smash them. lol

No question he is a knowledgeable guy but listening to him push all that Pradco stuff gives me a headache after awhile.

I throw Rogues at trout more these days. I would still throw Rogues more if I was fishing Louisiana more. You don’t need the extra depth. 
My biggest LMB came on a Susp Rogue. The original shorter one in Clown. 
11.15 on a rainy New Moon in November in Caney Lake Louisiana (before they ruined it with Grass Carp).

I like the gold over chrome with the orange belly, whatever they call that one. The walleye love that thing.

Just looked for that color on the web, I can't find it, imagine that. 

I will have to look, I think it has a black head, gold body, orange belly.

PRADCO in my opinion has never improved any lure company they have acquired and certainly hasn't done anything to enhance the lure selection. War Eagle is the latest example. Not a PRADCO fan whatsoever.

I think I have one in my box in the boat but it's just too darn cold to go out and look

I was over at the local Wally World this AM, browsed the fishing section and they had a bunch in that color you are describing.  They were floaters, which of course can be modified to suspend if that is what you want.

I picked up a suspender in color Purple Darter, it's kind of like the one Dave shows in this thread except it is 4.5".  $5.27.  

Only thing I don't like is that they are made in China.  Hard to get anything domestically produced in the fishing world these days.

Hey Pete do you keep your lures on the front porch, move them inside so they won't be so cold.
