I stumbled across these videos on youtube while searching for something other than videos about lures to break up today’s posts. While this is a lure post, it has some mystery behind it. “Dutchbaits” are handmade wooden lures with some pretty awesome paint jobs, the music and camera work are great too. And that’s all I know! I’ve contacted the original poster on youtube for some background information.
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.
Check out this video from WFN featuring Grant Kopper and one of his Live Target Crawfish crankbaits.
Looks like we’ll need to add this to our list of favorite fishing commercials!

As much as I dislike birds, I gotta say, this one is brilliant! This sort of behavior isn’t that uncommon in the bird world either – crows are known for using tools to get to their food.
