Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Tommy Harris does it again Tommy Harris has created a blade series that I predict will be an overnight success. These perch colored blades have his creative green antifreeze color on both sides of the blade. Notice the octagon patterns on both sides of the blade. Awesome! The second blade is called Sunshine. Hey, I finally get a bait named after me. It's not pretentious just like the person it is named after. ;-) Another one you'll want in your tackle box.

I hope your not the one who talked Tommy out of his signature spider pattern. Post a few more pics when you get these twisted up on some mono with what you consider some good bead patterns to go with them. I got an order coming from Tommy and have some quit unique designer beads I ordered from Stamina. Gonna team these outrageous color patterns behind the eyeliminator flashers this summer using some #15 7 strand plastic coated wire. Wait till you seee the bling these thing will throw off. They make "Pimp my ride" look chump. Hope them homie walleyes will be dog to them. I'll post when there done.

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Dan, Rest assured that Tommy has NOT abandoned the famous spider web pattern. Here are a couple of quick examples. Guess I'm not into the exotic bead patterns that you are proposing but I always look forward to seeing what comes out of the creative mind of walleye express. For the record, the previous picts do not do justice to the actual reflective properties of those blades.

| That second blade/bead combination does not work, so why bother showing it?! In fact, I think you should just send all your blades of that color to me, so you won't waste your valuable time with them this year. Definately don't use it on Geen Bay.
I like that Perch Pattern. Do they have these at Tews? |

All I know is whatever color I used, all I caught were catfish!

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Oh ya....great minds think alike. I believe I have both of those colors covered with my Tommy order. Isn't that bottom one what he calls Red or Purple Goby? Now add those psychedelic bead colors and watch them rod tips.

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Jerry,
Let's see the backside of that blade please. It was Tommy's green antifreeze color on both sides of the blade that caught my eye. I've had some nice success using the green antifreeze and was glad to see that he incorporated it into this blade.
Gotta admit, it does look similar though Been hiding a winner from me for 5 years? Jay, You seeing dots? Go see a doctor or go back to beating up on Tyee I'm a lot more sensitive than he is and my feelings get hurt easier. And here I was typing up those secret gps coordinates and data for ya'

Jerry.
Maybe you already know but that color is killer on the Saginaw bay in the Rattle Tot. That blade color is the spitten image of Metalic Rainbow under the Old Storm color finishes.

| That powder coated anti-frezze in the Sinister Minister, Spongebob, and Outlaw has been a top fish catcher and one of our #1 sellers here at Eyeliminator. Capt. Dan check out the latest Eyeliminators with some of those over the top crazy beads your talking about, they are awesome. Our whole line will be switched over to them shortly. Keep on rock'in Tommy!!!

Location: Manitowoc, WI | Yes, that blade is a killer on any Great Lakes body of water where perch are a primary forage.
In that blade, I have it with silver, gold, and copper backing. And yes, except for the black dots, it is very similar. |

Thanks Jim, I sure will.
By the way Jim you better give Franks a call. One of my guys from my board wanted to buy some eyeliminators to have a stash with both your original harnesses and to use a couple of the front flasher parts with some of my inventions, and they were out. I asked if he checked the board in the back by the Fish finder and GPS's counter where they usually are and he said he did.

| Thanks for the heads up Capt. Dan, the order just came in yesterday. They are now also available at the Gander Mountain in Saginaw, and a few others, shortly.
Take care, Jim. |

| Have to say its not nice to highjack a thread like that Justin. The blades are ok but sure don't hold a stick to the blademaster ole Tommy the wild man. His new blades ROCK BIG TIME! |

| Justin, Tommy is at the top of the food chain when it comes to blades. And I don't see anyone in the industry getting even close to over take him. |

Unless your new beads are invisible, I'm missing something. Ancious to see if they are like the beads I bought.

Location: Oshkosh, Wisconsin | Yes, Tews has a LOT of blades. I prefer to make most of my own blades, but I did pick up a couple that I really liked the colors. Tews also a very good selection of reef runners, wally divers, rapalas, and I think I even saw a Drop-n-Stay or two on the shelf down there as well... |

| Thanks gents, I will have to make a run down to check it out. Maybe this weekend.

| Wow, harsh. Never said they weren't nice blades, also thought this was a public forum and didn't think it was the end of the world to throw a bone for a 23 year old trying to catch some fish on his stuff. Thought this was an informational website and my information would be of some value to people on this board....geez. |

| I was just wondering where I can order some of these Tommy Harris spider blades? Is there a way to order them in bulk or just individually? Can someone give me a link?
Thanks

Location: Waukesha Wisconsin | Call Tommy at: 262-697-0018 or check out Tews in Oshkosh if you are local. Tommy also sells blades in Michigan through Franks Outdoors. He is also working a web site I believe. |
