Recent Testimonials:
|
"Last month I purchased a
variety of swimbaits from you. Well, this week my son and I had a chance
to try them out. We fished the Rainy River that borders Minnesota and
Canada. This was our first chance to use your swimbaits and it was
fantastic." - Jim Orcutt Sr., Minnesota |

"I've been using your 3 inch swimbaits for Lousiana redfish, it's my secret weapon. I love the texture and action of the bait."
- Eric Balkom, Louisiana

"This 26.5 inch, 7 lb
walleye was caught on a Bleeding Mackerel colored Big Hammer swimbait on
Lake Kapukasing, Ontario, during a fly-in fishing trip. The fish was
caught in less than 4 feet of water over a lot of down timber. It was one
of many walleye caught that day on your swimbait. Because of the timber,
we were running the lures just under the surface of the water. It was
quite a thrill to see walleye explode upon a lure like bass hitting topwater. Keep up the good work, and you have my business for a long
time." - Matt Tuomi, Illinois |

"My husband, Doug, and I
are now confirmed Big Hammer swimbait "addicts". On a recent “fly in” trip
to Lac Natakim in Quebec your swimbaits quickly became our only lure;
spoons and spinnerbaits weren’t doing anything. We caught eight pike over
10 pounds and a ton of smaller ones. I stuck with your Halloween color the
whole trip, but Doug had his best luck with 5½ inch Margarita and 5 inch
Baitfish. Using a single hook jig head is also a big plus; it does less
harm to the fish and we were able to release all the pike unharmed." - Laurie & Doug Britton, Pennsylvania |
