These are the new PK Lures
Flutter Fish. They are a heavy weight spoon that I'm going to use for jigging this winter. But they also use these "Mr. Peanut" type spoons for casting and trolling in the summer. You can snap jig them with a 7 foot medium rod as you are trolling for intense walleye attacks. You can also cast them for vicious northern attacks with their unusual wobble.

But me, I'm going to vertically jig this spoon for walleyes and the little ones for crappies. The bigger model is going to put lake trout on the ice for me. These are my hopes and dreams of course, but it is different tackle and already winning rave reviews in various parts of the country. Plus, I have samples. That's one of the perks of owning a large tackle store. Somebody is always sending me something to review and test, but believe it or not, the vast majority of times, I buy tackle resale because I myself like the way it looks. That's always risky and explains why there are sections of the store with an inch of dust covering those regions. Nothing beats having money hanging from the pegs collecting dust. This does not mean that these lures do not produce. It does mean that fishermen are ridiculously susceptible to big tackle manufacturer marketing. Come on, fishermen! Do you seriously need an ad in a fishing magazine to tell you what to try? You can't determine that on your own? Apparently not. We see the "I saw it on TV or Biggun's Magazine" syndrome. Stop being a sucker for marketing. Ask a few questions, try some "off brand" suggestions if they look cool but you don't recognize the name.
See what happens! You will definitely have the lure that the fish haven't seen go by ad nauseum.

Based on the large number of fishermen passing through this business, no tackle is a dud all the time. There is always somebody who does really well on something that not everybody else is using. Tackle is one of those things that you never know how it works until you try it out. And everybody, I don't care how seasoned, hopes that new lure will be the "miracle" lure of a lifetime. There is nothing more vindicating than buying a new lure and having fish slam the crap out of it the minute it touches the water. Talk about making your day!

So, try out the PK Lure line. They are getting a little bit of hype an I think it's going to be hot stuff from the fish catching standpoint as opposed to the catching fishermen standpoint. My prediction is that these will be the "sleeper" lures of the winter. Everybody will want one and then they'll become impossible to get due to moderate supplies for new tackle not coming from a huge outfit like Rapala.
