SimonSays Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Tried it out this weekend, nada =( If possible I'd like to give it one more shot at a friend's pond, if nothing after that then I'll send it off to the next person Quote
TheBeast Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Well it's the time of year for this thing to start getting hot and should produce alot of fish. Quote
Korea_Bassin Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 Anyone heard from SimonSays? I sent him a message asking about the status of the lure but have yet to receive a response. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted September 24, 2008 Super User Posted September 24, 2008 any word on the lure from Simon Says? Quote
Korea_Bassin Posted September 24, 2008 Author Posted September 24, 2008 Nothing yet. I sent him PM a few days ago asking about the lure status but haven't heard anything from him since his post a couple of weeks ago saying he was planning to keep it "one more week". Maybe we'll hear something soon. Quote

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted September 28, 2008 Super User Posted September 28, 2008 Yo Korea_Bassin, You are doing a great job updating the list and keping track of the lure. Many thanks goes out to ya.... Quote
shorefisher Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 I received the lure today. Thanks Simon. It's not near as beat up as I thought it would be considering... It's been raining constantly all week here in NY but this weekend I'm hoping it will get better. I am itching to fish. I will do my best to get some nice pics. I kinda wish I had some of those Ti luresavers split-rings to put on it. I'd hate to be to the one to lose it (knock on wood). Anyways I'll get some pics of the lunker I get (batting 1000 with karma eh? : ). Seriously though I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this great idea. Yours truly, -Shore Quote
shorefisher Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Well I fished the BR lure this weekend. There was a heck of a crankbait bite on but I was determined so I tied on my Megabass Vision 110 (story of the lure here: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1217385063) and was using it to find fish so I could throw the BR lure in there and catch one. The Megabass is a heck of a lot easier to throw than the ultra light BR lure. I was ripping the Vision past some reeds and got it to the boat and for some reason swept it hard down the length of the boat. As soon as I did that a very large pike came in, hammered it, and took off. My drag started screaming and the rod bent way over and "pop"... he cut me off. I was a little ill at the thought of losing my Vision but I am so thankful it wasn't the BR lure. Needless to say I'm not going to risk it and will pass it on to the next in line. I can't find a titanium leader that wouldn't ruin the action anyways. Thanks for the opportunity and best of luck to those that follow. -Shore Quote
Super User grimlin Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 Alrighty,shorefisher PM'ed me and i'm going to give it a chance before it freezes over here.The bite has been non-existence for me the pass few weeks. I'm gonna try and fish all next weekend and will be sending it out after the weekend. I need to know if anybody wants to give it a try after me.Winter's coming so let me know who wants this passed on so i can get it out when i finish. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted October 7, 2008 Super User Posted October 7, 2008 I know it is a long time from now, but I think it would be cool to get the lure to someone going to Kentucky for the BR Trip. No better chance to have that many members together, and a really good shot at catching fish on it.... Quote

Super User grimlin Posted October 13, 2008 Super User Posted October 13, 2008 Alrighty,heading out today as i was extremely sick sunday and slept through the entire day. Who wants this next? Going to start top of the list and give a 24 hour wait before i get an answer and move on to the next person on list. Update....Caught nothing,the water was extremely low and nothing seemed to bite.Me being sick didn't help much either as i really couldn't pay attention to what i was doing. Weather is about to get worst here as the week progresses into the weekend.Looks like i'll be staying home for awhile now. Quote
simplejoe Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 If you guys wanna send it out to me I'll give it a try. Just pm me for the address Quote
Super User grimlin Posted October 22, 2008 Super User Posted October 22, 2008 I sent it to fishfordollars.Hopefully he'll get it soon and get us an update. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 3, 2008 Super User Posted November 3, 2008 Just checking to see what's up with the lure. I took it's twin out this evening and got a small one and lost two. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted November 3, 2008 Super User Posted November 3, 2008 I have no clue... ;D Fishfordollars did get it.....he PM'ed me not knowing what,where,when to do...I may have to help him out somehow. I did PM him with the link to this topic. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 11, 2008 Super User Posted November 11, 2008 Where is the LURE. Hello! Anybody home? 9 days and no update...... Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted November 12, 2008 Super User Posted November 12, 2008 I have it. Fished Lake Conroe Saturday and Sunday. Caught three on it Saturday, all undersize(11-15"). Lake Conroe is a mininum 16" legal lake. Did catch one 17 3/8 largemouth early Sunday morning on it along with another that was just under the legal limit and four more from 8-13". Bite slowed way down after 9:00am. Put it down and finished off the day out on the river with a C-rig. Nothing large to report. It was pretty tough. Who is next in line? PM me and give me an address and I will send it to you. Sorry for the delay, many things going on that kept me away from the lake for several weeks. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted November 19, 2008 Super User Posted November 19, 2008 Fishfordollars is sending it to me.Will post when I recieve it. BRRRRR! 38 degrees tonight and cold clear crap all this week. I hope I get a decent day to fish it very soon.The fish around here get a serious attitude in this weather.I'm probably gonna flip or throw a trickworm and take a nap or watch some tv on my phone while waiting for a bite : Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 23, 2008 Super User Posted November 23, 2008 Several of us (members) have been tossing around the idea of starting BR Lure Fun Season #2. Before we start season #2, we need to end season #1. Any suggestions or dates as to how and when we should end season #1? I would hate to just place the lure back into the tackle box and forget it's long and productive journey. Does anyone have any hooks into a popular fishing magazine or with Rapala? I'm sure someone would be interested in it's journey. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted November 23, 2008 Super User Posted November 23, 2008 to end it, i guess someone just has to send it back to you. i dont have any connections with rapala or any magazines, but maybe you could just email rapala and let em know what went down. you should put it in a display box with the stats (distance traveled, fish caught, etc.) displayed too.
