Off we go....

.....to the Olmsted County Fair. I've lived in this county my entire life but one thing I have never done is enter something in the fair. That changes this year. I'm already registered in the home hobby division under the fly tying and tackle making. I registered specifically for hand injecting soft plastic baits. Should be interesting. I have quite a spread of baits planned: a three size frog series, all three of the Do-It Thump-Its, the Do It 4" Ring It, a couple beaver tail type baits and a few various sizes of the shad baits. Then there are these that will be included.

I'll get a picture of the display board when I have finished.

Best of luck. It will take someone with some awesome ability to surpass your work.

Great looking baits.

Those are blue ribbon in my book!

good luck bud!

You will do well there my friend. Your lures are well made.

These guys are going to be a part of the entourage. I'm really liking the purple/Amber at the top and that watermelon with the ocean and purple glitter.

best of luck to you sir

oh and your baits are blue ribbon never the less

I can see a blue ribbon in your future Tom....good work my friend.

One of these pink/orange drop shot worms will take the ride to the fair. They are a color from Reaction baits called Dirty Sherbert. In smaller baits it's a hot one for crappies. The Ring It worm will fly along too. This one is the orange under the watermelon used in the other worms with the purple contrast color in the other photo.
