I was thinking of adding a guided summer Smallmouth trip to my charter repertoire. I've had enough inquires during the summer months about such a thing and seriously might find it a refreshing change from time to time to do so. So with that in mind, I found myself in Franks (our local lure/bait emporium) today looking to stock up on the basic arsenal of lures for summer River Smallmouths. It was just my luck that Franks was having quit a sale going on. Bought several spinnerbaits and casting lures for 2 for $5.00. Came away only spending $149.90 for just about a little of everything I really wanted to buy.

My eyes then fell upon something totally new. And it's aesthetic fish catching/eye appealing look was about all Ol' Capt. Dan could stand. So like I usually do, I bought 2 of the available 3 colors. This new lure is made by the Old Storm brand name people and is called a WildEye Soft Shad. They're 2 3/4inches long and weigh in at 3/8 ounce. And you have to feel this thing to believe it. The whole thing is actually covered with the same rubber sleeve/skin that makes the dorsal fin and tail look and feel very real. It is indeed weird to the touch. These two are going into my new smallie box, but I think they have possibilities to entice some walleyes as well.

I snagged one of those on Devils Lake this past summer (the chartruese one). I didn't know what it was called, or who made it. Thanks for the info.

I saw those at the Fleet Farm a while back. I was tempted to pick a couple up but I never did. Let us know how the eyes like them when you give them a try.

No problem Jul's.

The wife already told me if they don't work on the walleyes or bass, I can remove the hooks and put them in her 80 gallon aquarium, because she likes the looks of them as well. Now I know for sure that the lures did a better job of catching me than they will catching fish.

These have been out all summer here and I'm not jumpin up and down about them, as I did have some success at 2mph but other lures also caught the same fish. Definately wasn't a unique option. It looks like a $4.00 minnow to me. And a $4.00 minnow goes under a 4" bobber in my boat. Some lures are just good for catchin Fishermen!
Good Luck
Tyee

I had some trouble getting mine to run true, and ended up throwing it back in the box. Only one treble too.....but it caught me.

No luck with any of the wild eye's for me. Not one single fish. I've owned the type with no bill for 3 seasons now in several patterns. Tried everything from jigging, to casting, to trolling them and nadda one fish to show. They do look cool though!
