But I'm also guessing the ones who fish the Saginaw Bay will be tickled (HOT-PINK) over it. One of the really upsetting things I can remember about finding out that Normark was not only buying the Storm Lure Company, but was gutting the Crankbait line, was that us guys fishing the Saginaw Bay would never again be able to buy those custom colors that Franks Great Outdoors always carried. Those walleye killer colors like the Pinconning Paralyzer, Captains Choice, Boy George and about 6 or so others. These gaudy, sometimes scary colors worked miracles on days when all the natural baitfish colors in the world failed. Then one by one different manufacturers started coming out with Storm Lure look-a-likes and made things a little better. But it's taken the son of the master himself, to bring back what was lost. I'm talking about the Dave's Ka'Booms Winning Streaks. And without breaking any advertising rules here on this board, I'll simply say I like and use these lures with success on the Saginaw Bay. But that's not really the good news. I heard there is some talk between Dave's and Franks about bringing back those same bomb, killer custom colors in the Winning Streak design for Franks to retail this coming summer. I've already voiced my enthusiasm and approval to Pete at Franks, about how I feel about it and think it would not hurt if you Bay guys dropped Pete or Larry a little e-mail yourselves voicing your opinions. But be gentle, we don't want these customs to cost us anymore than the regular ones now do we. I'm posting 6 of my favorite Custom colors below for you guys to reminisce over. Keep your fingers crossed and just maybe Santa will come in July this year.
