BASS BOSS LONG SHAFT CYCLONE-BETTER THAN THE TORNADO-SELECT FROM MENU

Description: WE MAKE SEVERAL DIFFERENT CYCLONE BAITS AND THIS LISTING IS FOR THE LONG SHANK VERSION THAT USES A BUZZ BAIT FRAME TO MAKE THE LURES. SHOESTRING CLAIMED THE TORNADO WAS A SPINNER BAIT, A BUZZ BAIT AND A CRANK BAIT ALL IN ONE LURE. WE HAVE SOLD A LOT OF THE SHORTER SHANK CYCLONES AND THE CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE FISH PRODUCTION. THIS LURE COULD BE YOUR GO TO TOURNAMENT WINNER! THE HEAD STYLE MAY VARY ALONG WITH THE PAINT THEME. AVAILABLE ARE HAMMERED NICKEL, HAMMERED COPPER, HAMMERED GOLD, WHITE, AND GLOW IN THE DARK. IF YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE ON THE TYPE AND COLOR OF THE BLADE PLEASE LET ME KNOW WITH A NOTE OR MESSAGE. SIZES ARE 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 AND 1 OUNCE, THAT YOU SELECT FROM THE DROP DOWN MENU.WE USE A HEAVY OFFSET BLADE WITH THE TIP CURVED (ONLY ON 3/4 AND 1 OZ SIZES BECAUSE OF DAMAGE TO BLADE ON SMALLER SIZES). IF YOU ORDER 1/2 OZ SIZE CYCLONES AND WANT THE BLADE TIP BENT, PLEASE SEND US A NOTE OR MESSAGE. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MINIMIZE DAMAGE TO THE BLADE WHEN PUTTING THE BEND ON IT. EUGENE "SHOESTRING" DUBOIS INVENTED THE TORNADO SPINNERBAIT IN THE LATE 1980'S THROUGH 1990'S AND WAS MANUFACTURED FOR AND SOLD EXCLUSIVELY BY BASS PRO SHOPS. THERE WERE THREE DESIGN FACTORS THAT MADE THE TORNADO DEADLY. THE BIGGEST FACTOR WAS THE CLANGER THAT HUNG ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BLADE AND MADE A TICKING SOUND. THE SECOND WAS THE USE OF AN OFFSET BLADE WITH A CURVED TIP. WE USE A HEAVY OFFSET BLADE WITH THE TIP CURVED (ONLY ON 3/4 AND 1 OZ SIZES BECAUSE OF DAMAGE TO BLADE ON SMALLER SIZES). THE THIRD WAS THE ODD DOUBLE R BEND ON THE WIRE TO MAKE THE UPPER ARM MORE FLEXIBLE, THEREBY INCREASING VIBRATION. IF YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR, YOU KNOW THAT THE OLD TORNADO IS BEING SOLD BY AUCTIONS ON EBAY AND OTHER SITES. I HAVE SEEN WHERE ONE TORNADO BAIT SOLD FOR $90!! THE REASON IS THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER BEING MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY BASS PRO SHOPS.AFTER SHOESTRING PASSED AWAY, IT APPEARS THAT BASS PRO SHOPS LOST INTEREST IN CONTINUING THE MANUFACTURE OF THE TORNADO. IN FACT, I REMEMBER SEEING SOME OF THEM IN THE BARGAIN BIN AT BPS AND WONDERED WHY. AS NEW BAITS COME ALONG, THE OLD BAITS GET HARDER TO FIND BUT ARE JUST AS DEADLY AS THEY WERE YEARS AGO. WHERE DOES BASS BOSS BAIT COMPANY COME IN? I HAVE BEEN ASKED BY FORMER CUSTOMERS TO REINVENT/REDESIGN THE TORNADO, WE CALL IT THE CYCLONE. IT IS NOT A DUPLICATE OF THE TORNADO, BUT IT IS AN IMPROVED REDESIGN BASED ON THE THREE IMPORTANT FACTORS THAT SET THE TORANDO APART FROM OTHER SPINNERBAITS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS IN OUR LISTING, YOU CAN SEE THAT WE USE A LARGE CLANGER ON THE BACK OF THE BLADE AND USE BRIGHT RED GLASS BEADS AS SPACERS AND ATTRACTORS. WE USE A HEAVY OFFSET BLADE WITH THE TIP CURVED (ONLY ON 3/4 AND 1 OZ SIZES BECAUSE OF DAMAGE TO BLADE ON SMALLER SIZES) TO CREATE VIBRATION, AND FINALLY WE USE A LIGHTER WIRE ALONG WITH THE DOUBLE R BEND IN THE UPPER ARM TO CREATE MORE FLEXIBILITY AND VIBRATION. WE ALSO USE A HIGH QUALITY BALL BEARING SWIVEL TO CONNECT THE BLADE ASSEMBLY TO THE LURE. SINCE THESE ARE MADE ONE AT A TIME BY DOC WITTMER, PERSONALLY, THEY WILL ALL HAVE SLIGHT VARIATIONS. THE STANDARD BLADE IS THE HAMMERED NICKEL OR HAMMERED GOLD BLADE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A DIFFERENT COLOR JUST SEND US A MESSAGE. BLADE CHOICES ARE HAMMERED NICKEL, HAMMERED COPPER, HAMMERED GOLD, GLOW IN THE DARK, BLACK AND PEARL. JUST LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY TO MAKE THE LURES YOU WANT IN THE SIZE AND COLOR YOU WANT. THESE ARE NOT MASS MANUFACTURED. I PERSONALLY MAKE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE LURES. I EVEN ADD THE CUP TO THE END OF THE LARGER BLADES. AS ALREADY MENTIONED, I DO NOT CUP THE SMALLER BLADES BECAUSE THE CURVE CAUSES TOO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE BLADE COATING. WE HAVE HAD NO COMPLAINTS FROM THE FISH!!
