I would like to introduce Down South Lures as a new North Florida Gulf Fishing Club sponsor for 2010.



They manufacture and sell a great looking Texas style 4 1/2" jerk bait in some really cool colors, below is their Plumtruese Shad.




Please let Mike know that you appreciate his support, mike@downsouthlures.com

Good look'n lure there. Thanks to Deep South for their support

logo says down.. not deep...

Thanks to Redfin for catching my mistake and my deepest apologies for the directional defect in my description. Thanks for your support DOWN SOUTH LURES... It's still a good looking lure

Thanks for your support Mike...nice looking lure

I did a search online, do they have a web site??? I found where they selected a winner for their logo contest, but I cant find a url for them....

Slayer,
Their site isn't finished yet from what Mike told me this morning. But it is in the works as we speak.

Surely something called Down South is made in the Deep South.....


Love the 4.5" size....I'm thinking a 1/16 oz jighead for a perfect match.

Hey folks-

Thanks for the warm welcome, and I hope you all have some success of my new baits. My website will be up and running in a few weeks. You can check it out at www.sacdr.com/downsouthlures They are building my website and it is almost complete. You can even navigate through it on the site listed. Disreguard the offshore photos in the slideshow. I sent the builder of the website all of my photos from my buddies and I, and she chose the offshore photos. That is going to change.

If you were wondering which one is me so you can put a face to a name, I am the guy in the brown shirt standing on my boat boat holding a redfish with three other guys. One of the other guys is holding a trout. This can be found in the Pro Staff Section.

Yes, I usually throw them with a 1/16 oz. head. Good call. I am interested to see how they perform on a smaller, weighted flutter hook. Any positive or negative feedback would be greatly appreciated. I am mailing out the sample packs to Matthew manana.

Feel free to email me or give me a shout anytime with questions or suggestions. 210.865.8999. I am looking forward to learning about the art of Florida fishing.

I am in the process of developing new baits and new colors. Any tips on popular new colors that I am lacking would be appreciated. Thanks again.


Regards,


Mike Bosse

If you don't have the color already,we use a lot of new penny and glow and white colors.

Sure would love to see you market a good 1/16 jighead (3/0 and 4/0)

I'd preorder a few dozen for sure!

I am actually working on that right now. That is my next project. I am trying to find a good hook company that has what I am looking for. I want a 45 degree bend from shank to eye. Owner brand does not make one like that in an anticorrosion finish. (hard to believe). What hook brand do you all like the most? I was dead set on Owner, but they do not make what I like. Plus, their saltwater jig head hook that is anticorrosion does not have the cutting point, and has a 90 degree bend. What do you guys think of the 90 degree bend? Does this work OK? Look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks.

A 3 or 4/0 hook is pressing the 1/16 threshold to start with.

Welcome aboard, Mike. Nice to have some new brothers from Texas.

Baits look like they will work well around here; almost goby-looking. I bet we'll have no worries about pinfish chewing off the tail.

Electric/nuclear chicken color gets hit sometimes.

Wide-gap black nickel hooks

if you are looking for a good jighead for now you might wanna try the bayoubuck lure website they make some pretty good jig heads and nice popping corks too at a good price.
