Hot New LIVETARGET Lures for 2011

If you missed out on the fantastic LIVETARGET lures made by Koppers this year, then you’ll definitely need to add a few of these to your collection for next year. LIVETARGET lures are the most realistic looking lures on the market, and they’re made right here in Ontario! Koppers has some pretty amazing additions to their lineup for 2011, including several that I will be picking up the first chance I get!

Koppers Lures will be at Bass Pro Shops in Vaughn this Saturday, which is also Dave Mercer’s seminar and book signing, where they will be giving out a LIVETARGET prize pack valued at over $700! If you’re free on Saturday and in the area make sure you check it out!

Toronto Sportsmen’s Show: Koppers Lures Detail Shots

I wanted to post a couple more shots of the Koppers Live Target lures on display at the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show. This company definitely has an eye for details, kudos to the Koppers guys for setting and lighting this display very well. Tomorrow I hope to meet and chat with Grant Kopper the owner and designer of these lures.

These photos were all taken by Brandon Seibel, one of my friends and co-workers, on his Canon 50D.

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.
