Another Wake-Up Call

 Well,  the kind you want.

Another lure doing what it was built to do,  telling stories from the water. This time it was a message from Adam, which went something along the lines of:

“Finally got a chance to cast your lures around. Loved it,  and so did 20-odd Murray Cod”

220mm Wakebait with the added Thumper tail

That’s always a welcome wake-up call. Real fish, real rivers, and handmade timber lures doing their job exactly as intended. Whether it’s a wakebait or swimbait, there’s no better feedback than time spent on the water and fish willing to commit.

These moments are a reminder of why I keep building, tweaking, and testing custom cod lures,  not for the bench, but for days like that.

Stories like this never get old.
