I’ve been experimenting with different painting techniques and patterns over the last month or two. This is one of my favorite new designs. It combines all of my favorite pike catching colours in one tasty treat.

I stayed up late last night getting my lure website ready to launch. As many of you know, Jon is the one responsible for designing Fishingfury.com from scratch. I took the easy way out and started work on Rockstarlures.com using a pre-made template. I made several changes to tweak the page to suit my needs and style. It is NOT easy doing this web design stuff and I really gotta give props to Jon for making Fishing Fury look as great as it does.
Since spring is in the air, this is the perfect time to stock up on some lures. I’ll be adding new lures regularly and discount prices are available to anyone buying 5 or more lures. You can even request lures designs to meet your specific needs. Click the image below to view the new Rockstar Lures site!
I have been meaning to post these for a while but I have a really bad memory sometimes. Here is a collection of fish my friend Grant in and near Toronto caught using Rockstar Lures last season. He normally uses them to target pike and musky, but has caught bass and walleye with them as well. Grant just received an order of five new lures, so I’m sure well be seeing a lot more photos of his great catches here soon! There have been seven species of fish caught with my spinnerbaits so far, and I hope to add trout and salmon to the list this season!
Gotta love those fat pike!
Ever since I introduced Rockstar Lures I have been busy working on new lure designs. I have had a few people request some pike lures, which are most definitely my area of expertise. I created a few new lures this week that I don’t want to part with, but I’ve already received a payment, and I’ll be shipping them tomorrow with a couple other shipments to my buddy Jonny and the only person who has caught as many fish on my lures as me, Grant.
I’m not sure when I’ll get to pike fish this year (if at all) so you guys better catch some big ones for me! And just in case anyone wants to help fund a pike trip for the good ole boys of Fishing Fury, just send us an email at staff@fishingfury.com
Also, on the topic of lures, you will have the opportunity to win free lures if you submit photos to Fishing Fury. The person who submits the most images by the end of June will get two Rockstar Lures!
Anyway, here are a couple of the lures soon to be shipped!
It has been over two years since I started making my own spinner baits. I’ve sold a couple along the way, buy usually just gave them away to people so they could test them out and let me know what they think. I have made dozens of designs and thanks to feedback from my fellow fishermen and readers of Fishing Fury, I have all but perfected my lures. I’ve been able to prove that my lures can catch musky and pike consistently, as well as several other species of fish. Although several of my designs worked well, one stood out as being the best. I just opened an online shop on Etsy to make these lures available to you. I’ll be updating new lures every chance I get. And if there are specific colours you need, just let me know. All the proceeds will go toward fishing trips for Jon and I.
Though I’ve been missing in action these past weeks, I’m definitely not dead. In fact I’ve been hard at work the whole time, though admittedly some of it (okay, most of it) has been less than enjoyable. However, I’ve gotten a lot done, a large portion of it will be appearing here in the next month and Clive has done an outstanding job at keeping the site updated. Go Team Fury!
I’ve just finished uploading all of our awesome fishing videos to Vimeo. It’s yet another online video sharing site with a few nuances that will make the average video producer extremely happy. I will still continue to upload our videos to YouTube, but only because it’s so popular and will expose more people to our videos. Vimeo on the other hand is a much smaller site, and offers a greater range of features in my opinion.
First, Vimeo videos are much higher quality, and after uploading a few videos I noticed that Vimeo did not squash and distort our wide screen videos. That alone was reason enough for me to upload the rest of our videos, but there’s more… Vimeo also offers a full download of the original source video (the video I uploaded), and they’re already ahead of the game offering a high definition video channel. Here’s to hoping I can get my hands on an HD camera for 2008!
They’ve even got cool widgets, like the one below, you can embed on your site.
* Note: It seems the Little Vermilion video I uploaded is still being processed and may not play through this widget.
I’ve been busy trying to master the art of powder coating my lures. I have progressively been getting better each lure I paint. Here are some example of my most recent creations.
This lure measures a lengthy 19 inches.

Woody (2 days, 10 hours ago)That's the trouble right there, the finish on these Lures!...I started buying Rapala jointed and when i had a couple i just had to buy them in all the different finishes (Hot Perch, Perch, Walleye etc etc), i had so many in the end it was like i was collecting them to put in a glass case or something, i didn't dare use them, a Pike won't care if your Lure cost 5 quid or 30 quid, it's still gonna scratch all that fancy artwork/paintwork either way!...I sold all mine as a set on ebay in the end as i [...]

Re: Stormy Kromer Hat Contest!
Jason Wilson (2 months, 2 weeks ago)I'm not much for a pithy comment, but I thought I'd leave a note about how honored I be to wear Kromer on my upcoming annual pheasant hunting trip to South Dakota. I'm sure that my hunting buddies will joke about how silly I look while they wear their stylized broad brim hunting caps, but I'll be laughing on the inside as my head stays nice and warm. I'll be laughing al the more when the stiff South Dakota wind picks up and Kromer is staying put. Finally, with the fall bite on, I know my new Kromer will call the [...]
