full production goes down guys won't be
happy to I got so many memories here
guys this is literally like just coming
home to family so I'm so excited to see
what they can't see or what they can't
experience is the smell so there's
that's the first thing we need to check
out let's go check out the garlic I wish
the camera could smell the garlic
because you know we put a lot of garlic
in our lures as well as sauce and we're
a little bit unique for having done that
and that's the basically cause the fish
to hold on to the lure longer as you
well right so we have to computerized
injection machines and we have about 40
molds back there for 40 different lures
and when you hit 40 different Moodle
resounding all of our colors that's a
lot of lures in terms of colors and and
and we're really proud of where we come
in the years it's been a labor of love
for 19 years for us and we're just happy
to be here mr. Russell is making the
baits right now this is this is where
the process goes down Russell show us
show us the mold how this works
this is the mold here and
the material
comes to these two ports that are right
here we're running a laminate right now
to go
they come out like a string of grapes
this is Carolina pumpkin shorter spring
fry and they're still warm and a little
bit soft but this is how they come out
Justin they're like a like little hot
dogs little sausage it happens we're
shooting a brand new color we've had
about six weeks it's called black magic
and I'm gonna tell you of all the colors
we've made over the years this color has
rolled out with more excitement and more
usage and more fish catching that wow
yeah well yeah you could use this in
clear water or stain dark water
it's got a little bit of a everything in
there that's silver red and purple I
love it and it is really good and we're
going to place make sure you leave here
with some of these today because this
fish catching machine thank you and we
never thought those before work at this
loom we're baking for the person you got
your hands on the first six-inch
Hyperwarm through ever shot in that
color her leg us and gets exclusive
guess who's going to fish him first you
are alright you can't leave here with
some friends I look perfect perfect -
love it now over here is you know Justin
you've been here many times
oh man that these are strands of lures
hanging various lures and various colors
and besides with these colors and hands
of a wheel pros and thoroughly test them
on the water and live conditions before
we roll them out so that the chance of
success is very great before we do it so
they got some awesome colors obviously
guys and this is kind of a weird color
but I'll show you it's probably one of
the best stained water deep water
fishing colors you can fish this is a
chartreuse pepper right here and that is
a fantastic color I know it looks kind
of weird but excellent color oh and this
is the new this is the new black magic
in the hyper stick if you haven't
checked out that hyper stick guys it is
absolutely money
that man over there is like my second
father he helped me get my start in this
fishing industry literally let me stay
live in this store that that we're
looking at right here I had a little
mattress in the back and that's where I
got my my start as a fishing guide mr.
Parker would let me stay here and I'm
just so so grateful for that you got to
check this out this is the colors that
don't want exactly come out right and
that may not sound good but you know to
the fish that see green pumpkin or
watermelon red all the time and that
same type of color when it's a little
different you know they put too much
Fleck in it or not enough or you know
the colors don't mix exactly right and
it's a little different a lot of times
they catch even more fish than the
regular one so I used to come in here
and I would pick out you know the the
strange the weird colors now these look
pretty good actually these aren't too
bad this is like one of those colors I
was talking about right here it's kind
of a unfinished you know green pumpkin
pearl you get that that nice little you
know just a hair on top it's not it's
not really a full laminate mixture
that's the kind of colors I really like
something unique the fish haven't seen

wall of the wall of fame here Oh who's
