News for 2026

 Just a reminder: 

In addition any order that exceeds the limit of one plug per style will be refunded in full LESS the non refundable processing fees imposed by PayPal. Thank you to those who have sent C&R pics using our plugs and thank you for believing in the "one hook solution"!!! The future of our fishery depends on the little things that can make a big difference.

Just a friendly reminder all payments must be processed through our payment processor PayPal. This is the ONLY form of payment we accept.

Please remember: if it doesn't say "Mike's", but has the same shape, eyes, paint schemes, scaling, hook/lip layout and one belly treble, don't be fooled... it is only a copy.......

I reserve the right to cancel any order if I have good reason to think flipping is involved.. My list of honest, hard fishing guys who appreciate my work is extensive, always growing and hopefully appreciated by all who know me and fish the paint off my lures!

C&R style Commanders (as well as 19 others that have been re-designed over the last 6 years) are gaining in popularity with many of my customers!!  Thank you all for believing in this one treble version-helping to save the stripers "one at a time." Both versions of our Commander will be available in 2026

Thanks for your support of Pioneer Valley Boat and Surf Club! Thanks to all my customers for the unbelievable support this year! Congrats to the winners and tight lines fellas!

IMPORTANT:  We ship through a 3rd party shipping service.  The shipping label is created automatically when the order is printed, therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure your shipping address is correct!.

The current batch of  MaxSpooks contains a rattle. Occasionally rattles matter, sometimes they don't, but I want to cover both bases. Action will remain the same, but the rattle version (not a "knocker") will weigh slightly less than the originals. We are looking forward to seeing a whole new batch of fish pics soon, so Catch em up buddies, please practice safe catch and release, take a kid fishing, and stay safe out there!

October 25, 2025  We have some Mike's T-shirts,(cotton), long sleeve t-shirts (cotton), and lightweight hoodies (100%polyester). Thanks to my wife Jen and her amazing crafting abilities! Supplies are limited but you can check them out on our site store. Hope you are all having a decent Fall season! Plugs for the annual club raffle (Pioneer Valley Boat&Surf Club) are being worked on so keep an eye out in early 2026 for the details! Thank you guys for using my plugs as always!

I did a little tweaking to my jointed troller and decided I like it better as a top water swimmer/shallow diver.  I'm always looking for ways to improve on what I make and have decided to add it to the line-up for 2026. Basically the same dimensions as my troller but made with AYC and no cupped tail. Swims on top like a snake and really moves some water!  I will put the trolling version on hold and it will be awhile before I make them again as 99% of my customers prefer shallow diving surf plugs.  Look for them in the early 2026! Will post a pic soon- (Jointed Floating ) Wedgehead! FYI:  there wont be any drops until mid Jan 2026. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and very happy and successful New Year!
