I had the privilege to spend yesterday with Ed Sweeney. Ed has been making his own hand made lures for tuna, marlin and wahoo for over 25 years now. He has had a few guys who use them, that have kept them to themselves for the most part. I have been lucky enough to get a few over the years, but I am limited to the ones that are offered to me by my so called "friends" . :D
These things have been kept a secret for a long time and I will have a few guys who are gonna be upset they are now out and available. They are made in several styles: Jet Heads, Pushers, Slant Heads, The famous Shanty Irishman Head that has a 5 sided weight that darts the lure from side to side in the spread like a cedar plug.
Overall, the biggest attraction has been the glow feature used by Mr Sweeney! For some reason, he is using a glow that attracts tuna and marlin! I have witnessed it with my own eyes, after making comments on how trolling glow lures near the surface shouldnt mean much!!! :eek: IT WORKS AND WORKS WELL!!
Few of you will know the lure once you see the pics, others will get to know the product. We were approached to be a full line dealer and I am very excited to be involved after tracking this product down for several years.
Some pics: We will have them listed online later this week, but qtys will be limited to in stock items since they are hand made, one at a time. Prices range from $15 - $125 .
