Kopper’s Live Target Lures Look Real!

The 2010 season is slowly beginning here in Ontario and other parts of North America and the new lures and equipment are starting to hit the shelves. One of the things you may have noticed over the last few years is that fishing lures are getting more and more realistic, not just in looks but some companies are now accurately producing the swimming dynamics of fish with high-end swimbaits. We’ll be covering the new 2010 gear through out the spring and hopefully carry some of them in our OpenSky store.

One of the new lures, and companies, that I’m most excited about this year is based right here in Ontario. Koppers Fishing was created by Grant Kopper who has been making his own lures since the age of eight, and now thirty years later his company is now selling in Canada and the United States. Koppers lures spare no expense in detail, these are some of the most realistic crankbaits I’ve ever seen and their Live Target System makes it easy to find the lure that fits your applications. The new Blueback Herring is one lure I will definitely be picking up this year, this bait looks like a solid contenterd for monster bass and big pike. Lures sell for between 10-12 dollars each.

    Wow SICK design. I just wonder how well they are going to hold up after a few washes?

    As long as they come back up with fish does it matter. :) I have plenty of lures that are heavily beat up and still catch fish. Maybe it will make the perfect pattern look wounded, and even more irresistible!

    Yeah I have just found with some of the more holographic baits or baits with heavy detail , that the wear on them can be extreme and it does effect the catch rate. I have baits that are beat to hell but with cranks I’ve found (with walleye) the pattern does matter. It would be a cool experiment tho to run beat up lures versus fresh ones and see the catch rates. You would need fisherman of equal skill and fury in order to keep things scientific ofcourse.

    They do look great and I can’t wait to try one. First I have to find a store that sells them and the ice has to melt… I am especially anxious to tempt the lake trout around here with a smelt for the fishing season starts with trout, but, what the he.., I would like to try them all!
