Weagle / Wobble

[Random guy]

I have just been informed by one of the new owners that the Weagle and Wobble line of baits has recently been sold. The new owners of these two baits have already started production in anticapaition of the 2006 Musky opener. Steve stated- "We are putting in some late nights working on baits, we are producing them the old way. Hand made one at a time, each bait will be hand assembled and hand painted producing a top qaulity bait."

Good to see the Weagle and Wobble with their uniuqe walk the dog top water and sub surface action back in production and hopefully available for us musky folks for the 2006 opener.

I want the Red one!

Jon, I heard that too, I think Jonesi and Luke will do great making these more available, the new company the Weagle(s)/Wabull (but they don't fall down) is being made by will go by the name Muskie Mojo. From what I have heard they will be at the MN Extreme Show in Medina. I'm glad I got my hands on some of Cady's originals, though I'm sure it won't be any different of a bait then the new ones.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make the Extreme Show, got put on a project rebuilding a clients network in Rush City that weekend.

Hiya.

The Extreme shows are pretty fun. Not as big as some of the other shows, but that's not all bad. Get to spend a little more time seeing what's what and visiting with manufacturers, etc.

I'll be there off and on throughout the weekend in the Esox Angler booth (have a couple hockey games to go to so won't be there all the time) and I'm giving a seminar on Sunday morning. Be sure to stop by the booth and say hello. Always fun to meet fellow FM-ers...

Cheers,

RK

The Extreme show is definetly worth the trip. I went last year and was pretty impressed. Lots of FM guys will be at the show and a bunch of guides, tackle guys, musky publication guys, guys that do replicas, the list goes on and on. I'm going to try and catch it Sat. afternoon.

Thanks Cjac, I was looking for that and couldn't find it and I'm the stupid moderator.

[cjac]

No problem!

These darn jobs sure do get in the way of more important matters.....like fishing!

Went and checked out the new Weagles from Musky Mojo yesterday. Cool new paint schemes and a few cosmetic changes to them but still the same good old weagle. For only being in production for a short time they had a pretty good supply of them although they were going pretty fast. They also came out with a bigger sized bucktail called XXX or triple x, this thing is tough. Big blades, big fluffy tail,heavy wire and three razor sharp trebles. I also think they said some of the blades glow in the dark, now thats cool for night fishing, you can see it coming before you slam the swivel into the end guide on your rod.

[cjac]

They sold thru them all by the time I got there on Sunday. They will be at the Blaine show with more available. I have to agree, they looked pretty good!

[RuKiddingMe]

I think i heard somewhere that Muskie Mojo was going to put out another glide bait then the Wabull. I seen some of the paint jobs on another site, they looked great. I hope they get their HSOforum u and running soon. Those massive Marabou Tails look mean, 15" long, now if that isn't a big fish bait, sure as heck won't fit in my box...

The triple xxx was built to satisfy the hunger of those Mille Lacs fish. Big bladed, big hair bucktails was the answer on many lakes last year but they where tough to find.

[cjac]

Question regarding the triple xxx bucktails.... what rod power/length do you need to effectively fish that with but not burn out the arms? I think it would be way too much drag in the water for my "traditional" bucktial rod.

Check out the weagles on hsolist and how much they go for.....crazy!

Thanks

Chris

[RuKiddingMe]

Yeah no kidding those at going for a premium on hsolist, heck with my 3 weagles and 1 wabull all from the original maker I could buy myself a new Daiwa Luna reel.

RU

[Random guy]

I think some guy might have bought some of the new production and started his own sales bit. Trust me, many weagles are in production currently. I know both of the owners and they do not look good from all the late nights making weagles.

As far as the triple xxx bucktail I would use one of my Thorne rods, 7'6" with a slightly stiffer backbone. They actaully don't load up to bad.

[RuKiddingMe]

Actually I think he is making his own a similar bait but not the same and was actually using the term weagle in his selling of the Suducer on hsolist. I seen on another muskie site he actually had the gonades to post a thread of the "Sueducer" for sale, man did he get ripped for that. He also has other "copies" forsale.

I have no doubt the weagle will be plenty available by the opener.

there are a couple of "copycats" selling on hsolist with bait names of "seducer" and "homewrecker". both guys seem to be in it for the $$ and nothing else. they saw an unfilled market and decided to do the big business thing and use cheap chinese manufacture to reduce cost and be able to sell cheaper.

i know this is america and people shouldnt have a problem with things like that, but in my opinion its just wrong. the main thing is if you did a search on hsolist using eithr of these guys lure names, you will find nothing. but enter weagle and voila you come upon their baits. to me thats just out of line!

it would be like ford putting up gmc signs all around their dealership (while removing any mention of ford) and then when you enter the building they say, "oh this is a ford, its exactly 1mm longer and a bit heavier and has better paintjob". if your product is truly better than the competition, then you shouldnt need to use the competition to push your product!
