I just got done removing it and patching with resin. Will add hangers/hooks on the bottom and cover that explicit shape on the top with a tracer so I don't scare the big females away haha He had SS version (Ultra Unicorns) that had a top hook variation or mod… which would work just like a Hudd in regards to hook up ratio… as it was intended to be fished deep or on the bottom. Is this bait pictured for sure a floater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey told me last week that he only made a few of these once…. Lucky for you I have 4 dogs and life in general has been a hectic “full plate”… I was going to snag this off eBay to finally bring it home for the trio monopoly… As far as I’ve heard they’re are only 3 of these and I have the other two since 2015? Got them off our boy Jason… this 3 one was rumored to be an XSS or HF to round out the pair…. But this one the one on eBay that I can only assume is most likely the elusive 3rd FS Bass in this one off batch colorway was listed as a floater. So who knows maybe I have a HF or it’s the floating half of a second pair… Seems odd he’d do 1 SS & 2 floaters but who knows… But word on the street from the fellow obsessed is there are only the 3… Aside from maybe one his wife kept and is now on display in his store I’m not certain but I thought I saw one pictured in his display case. There was later another limited release of a gill patterned 8” FS Bass but it’s a different iteration. I always wished he had some of his actual gill profile baits in this rare a$$ colorway especially a SS top hook….Ewww Wee!!! First time even a pic of the 3 have been in the same “room” since I opened my eBay App last week.

Pretty cool to know about those couple top hook variations though. Here's some more pics BigBaitThirty, BigOPigSlayer and Primus 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some more pics I owned this real deal back in 2014-2016 I believed and the guy before me may or may not have done the conversion. But definitely good call on removing the top hook and installing bottom hooks. BigOPigSlayer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOPigSlayer Posted December 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) @Bassbooger 2 you owned one bait “just like it” years ago and caught some nice fish on it but you didn’t own this one. Paul “Pizz” Smith painted this one for me in 2017 and it went brand new untouched straight into the SU bait share Baby Wake program Edited December 14, 2023 by BigOPigSlayer Brendan2468 and bassbass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
