W told ChrisR and myself that he is my only chance to catch a big trout wading in the fall.:eek:

W, wanna re-think that statement? :*****: :*****: :*****:

I am just going to use the TSunami knock offs! Until I run out of my supply of Paul Browns hand made corky's. Sad day, he told me he was going to take his technique for making the best big trout I have ever used to the grave... He is a great man and invented my favorite bait on big lake. Mirrorlure had never made a good bait in my opinion. The catch 5 or any other "pretty" baits they make will get blown out of the water by a corky anyday. Catch 2000's are garbage also!!!!!!!!!

Two words : Spooks & Corky's

W will beg to differ. He caught a fish on it once.

Stulb thanks to salty i got some tsunami knock offs i will end up using....salty they got gammy trebles on them? suckers are sharp!

Can I have 'em back?

Tsunamis aren't even close to the corky's. Float em side by side in your sink and you'll see the difference. Tsunamis sink like a turd in a churn...

Catch 2000's Catch ton of big trout....I will take a side by side trip Corky vs Catch 2000 any day!!! Who is game???? No money just braging rights...........

****ie Colburn, my favorite guide on Sabine (sponsored by Mirrolure) just posted this on his site:
While on the subject of MirrOlure, Mike Haring of Mainstream Marketing called me last night and confirmed the rumor that MirrOlure has indeed bought out Paul Brown and the Corky line. Paul will continue to oversee the operation for a while and there will be no changes outside of the possible addition of some new colors. Same wire harness, same plastic, paint, design, etc.
I think it will be sometime after Jan. 1, that we start seeing them on the shelf in any outdoor departments that handle the rest of the MirrOlure line. This is great news for trout fishermen that live any distance at all from Houston. You never knew what Paul had left in stock until you walked in the door. No more swimming for Corkies hung up a little deeper than your waders!

I've been tryin' to get that Bomber vs Catch match for a long time. Fool said you don't want none. I tend to agree. :smokin:

They ain't really that bad when they're free. :smokin:

he's right about the swimming for ones too deep, i've gone thru hell and back to get them out of crab traps, i bet mirrolure will use the same design.

I am hoping for the best and maybe-just maybe MirroLure will use thier investment towards continuing and improving what I beleive to be the greatest trout lure(and trophy trout) ever produced.

To say mirrolure isn't that good of a manufacture is crazy talk. All of them thar DOGS has a place in my topwater box and so does the mirrodine and XL,Catch 5s, and the glad shad - they all sink and twitch better than most other hard baits ( catch 2000s and a few others I havn't any use for).

Down to my last 20 or so Corkys - 3 devils - and 3 fatboys. I live in Orange TX(I know - boooo!!lol) but hearing this news I am calling B&L while I fish today AND IF HIS STOCK IS DECENT i WILL DRIVE THERE TODAY AND SPEND $100-$200 IF i HAVE TO. IF NOT TODAY IT WILL BE WITHIN A WEEK!! IF ANYBODY WANTS ME TO PICK THEM SOME UP PM ME AND MAKE AN ARRANGEMENT.

I am going by there tomorrow and same offer holds. Will get what they have available and post tomorrow evening. They were closed today as Paul was out fishin'...

mirrolure she dog is still one of my favorite baits to use. I'll wait until I see whats done before I make a judgement.

SHE Dogs are my favorite also

Wait 'til you try them She Bombers. :smokin: Tell 'em, Fool.

Stop IT:beathorse:

:shaking: Nope! Tell 'em, Fool. Tell 'em what them Bombers will do during prime time. Geaux ahead...tell 'em. :smokin:
