If you follow year-end events like we do you may start to recognize a small Indiana bait company, Poor Boys Lures, time and time again is on top of the leader board.
This year, in particular, Poor Boys has taken leadership role in the Northern BASS Opens and even the FLW Cup. Names like Ryan Said, current BASS Northern Open points leader, David Hasty, 2nd at Detroit, Chad Pipkens, 7th at the FLW Cup as a co-angler and 5th at Detroit, noted FLW stick Chip Harrison 6th at Detroit, and Kenneth Taylor, BASS Detroit River Open Co-angler winner all have one thing in common. They have used the Poor Boys Erie Darter. Pipkens and Taylor used the Erie Darter in smoke pepper Super Soft and Harrison and Said have a long established relationship with all of the Poor Boys offerings and used the Darter there as well.
The Poor Boys hand poured family of baits has a long and storied history around the Great Lakes for smallies but recently has also gained notoriety across the country on spotted bass and largemouth bass as well.
