Everyone swears by the senkos, Rapala's, Rooster Tails ect.. All well known house.. I mean tackle box names. So, my question to you is : What is your favorite "unknown" lure or manufactuer?

Mine is from Wyld Edge Lures, The Berezerker in a "custon" color off the steelhead lures called hot fuzz.

Bass-ett baits based in rockford, Illinois. They do plastics, jigs, chatterbaits, buzzbaits, and a few muskie baits. There is a website under construction that will be up soon.

I never hear anyone talk about Matzuo lures but they make some great stuff. I really like the Kroaker frogs, especially the black one with the scooped face like a popper. Killer topwater frog!

I'm a member of the www.outdoor-fishing.com site and we have a member there who makes the most AWESOME soft plastics named Toadfrog, so my favorites would have to be the Toadfrog plastics, I have about 10 different ones, all are killers!

Teacha worms makes killer plastics , he's out of NJ

This is a great thread! Keep 'em comin' guys, everyone knows that fish are more apt to hit a bait they haven't seen. I'm gonna try them ALL!

Saw one on Hawg Quest, Tasmanian Devil. I have seen them in the Northwest stores, but never thought of using one till seeing that episode. I am going to try one

LOVE tabu tackle. all there lures have just worked great for me. esp. the open water jig.

Another I have found and started using. http://www.xfactortackle.com/

I would tell you, but then I would have to kill you!

I also make my own and they work.

Another I have found and started using. http://www.xfactortackle.com/

just checked out xfactortackle.com. looks great! i saw what looked like some great trout stuff. another company you should try is x-zone lures. it is a great custom hand pour company. two lures from them you should try are the slammer and the swammer. the slammer is a great drop shot lure and the swammer is a truly awesome swimbait. both are killer smallmouth lures.

For you spoon user's here's one.

Someone posted the exact same company under trout a while back. I have been following them and really would likr to try out their trout series. They look good on tape.

Well, I got my orders in for Dynamic lures and Xfactor Bait. Found out the the makers for the "Hot Fuzz" are closing their doors. I was able to put in one last large order. Hope that they last a long time.

There are so many regional lure makers it would be nearly impossible to list them all, and some of the lures have a limited area of application. For example, I would hardly consider using the same lure or bait when fishing for trout in a mountain stream that I would when fishing hatchery trout in my nearby lake!

Well one of my Favorites for softplastic's is     www.teachaworms.com     Steve makes some of the best plastics I've seen and if he doesn't have it or if ya have a favorite ya can't find any more He'll make it for ya ! that also means any Color or combo ya can come up with!

Don't know if the new fishing company TABU counts as a "unknown" manufacturer but for those who haven't heard, check out http://tabutackle.com/. I like the Tiny Tim Swimbait and the Open Water Jig. Come to think about it, most of you might no about it, I think the Open Water Jig was in the Mag awhile ago.

These aren't favorites of mine...just obscure companies I ran across over the last few days
