SEDUCER LURES

Topwater like you never thought possible!

It started for me back in the mid 90s. I found a lure called The Renosky Super Snake Topwater, which was a hard plastic floating head with a weedless hook that came with a long snake soft plastic body. They were great, and being the tinkerer that I am, I tried different soft plastics on the head. But the Super Snake had two problems, the head was too big and the hook was too small, so I set out to build my own.

Renosky Super Snake

The first were made from painted over or sharpie colored hard foam bobbers or wooden saltwater floats. I called them "Pad Thumpers" because their main purpose was to fish them in heavy lily pads. The Pad Thumper evolved to use a soft foam head and further evolved to settle on a Rainy's frog body.

Original Concepts

After discovering soft foam heads that were made for people tying popper flys, I started to experiment with those as the heads. Discovery of the Flyman Surface Seducer Double Barrel popper head was a game changer and I started to produce these new "Seducer" lures for myself and my friends.
The Surface Seducers were paired with a long shank Gamakatsu weedless hook and were wildly successful in hookup rate. However the hooks were hard to find, and I often ended up buying Bass Pro Enticer Perfect Worm Rig weighted hooks and cutting the lead off the hook.

Evolving Components

As our (myself and my friends) use of the "Seducers" continued to produce not only bass, pickerel, and other freshwater fish but big largemouths were becoming a regular theme. And then came the Snakeheads. Seducers were getting smashed by snakeheads. I started to make more baits that targeted more kinds of fish, including expanding to Striped Bass. I experimented with many clips that could go through the head and attach a hook. We tried many manufacturers models and sizes of hooks, each of which had their advantages with certain soft plastic.
More people took notice and I handed out lots of free Seducers. At a certain point, I was getting too many requests for freebies with the cost of buying heads hooks and clips, and decided to open up this great and fun lure design to more people.

Making Trespassers

So now here we are. I am a small shop and work full time, so I can't mass produce the huge amounts I would need to make to sell these retail. Nor do I have the time to take online orders and ship products. So selling is limited to in-person at Fishing Flea Markets or lakeside.
