This is a testimonial on our lures fished on Pipestone Lake in Canada this past June from the guys at Customfish.com. Ok...There's a couple baits I would like to talk about in specific. The first are products from bassfishingluresonline.com . Their Furry Fish Baits (Rabbit Hair Lures) that implement rabbit fur are something that I'll be keeping in my arsenal from now on. I STRONGLY urge you to fish these baits. They do NOT sell retail but instead rely on web based business. We at Customfish.com do business in much the same way and find it to be quite favorable when dealing with a company like the Furry Fish Baits. The wire baits have a particular interest to me and will be put thru their paces in the absolute pike-fishing test in late August on Great Slave Lake while fishing for pike up to 50" at Taltson Bay Big Pike Lodge. That trip is either going to make or break those lures, where typically patrons 
will go thru 2 dozen spinners in a week and up to 20 Bulldawg muskie baits. From what I have seen by throwing Furry's wire arm spinnerbaits the action is incredible. Rabbit fur moves like a mad leech trailing in the water. The hooks are seemingly very strong and durable. What i really like about the baits is that they didn't skimp on the wire. They use a very heavy guage wire and heavy duty terminal on these baits. I look forward to putting these baits thru hell with a couple hundred pike in the 36"-50" range.

We did try a series of Furry Bait Co.'s at Pipestone Lake in Ontario for smallmouth and we found an absolute winner! Their line of plastic/rabbit fur hybrid baits turned into one of the best friggin' throw back baits I have ever tossed back at a smallie that missed/followed another lure. I can't think of a single smallie that I tossed a Furry Fish 3" crawdad on a 1/8 oz. Slider head jig that didn't hit it and take off running. It is now my go-to plastic when the bass just don't want to cooperate.  I've tried these baits on my local high pressured river as well and it payed off quickly. The rabbit fur jigs look like a real winner as well. I didn't give them as much time as i wanted to because we were fishing rocks and boulder fields.  After I lost the first one I thought I had better save these for a place near home where i can run them thru the gauntlet without getting snagged in rocks all day long. But..from what I've seen they have incredible action and married with some applied scent they should do quite well. Tip: Place the soft plastic baits in a bag, pour in some salt, add whatever fish attracting scent you like, marinate overnight..and WHAMMO! You just got yourself a bag of nuclear powered plastic baits with undulating rabbit fur as a teaser!! Now..here's the really good part. The rabbit fur/hide absorbs the scent and salt and seemingly lasts forever. I have some that I used for 3 days and still leaked oily fish attractant. The combo of plastic, fur and scent was a no brainer and an absolute sure thing for smallies..even post spawn smallies. Here's another plus: On their website they sell fish attractant! I did not use their brand but I highly recommend that you add theirs (or your own favorite) to the baits a day before you throw. You won't be disappointed.
