Check out the new Rippertail Lures!

by

ww.OklahomaFishingGuides.com is proud to announce our newest sponsor, Rippertail Lures, a family owned and operated business that was founded in 2007 by professional fishing guide Larry Vaughan.  


Unable to find a lure that combined durability with a high level of action, Larry decided to create a lure with a solid body and a corrugated, tapered tail.  He started out by pouring these lures in his garage for personal use only, but  after much success and numerous requests, Larry decided to make his lure available at Truman Lake Reservoir bait shops in Missouri in 2010.


As the success and reputation of Rippertail Lures has grown, new and subtle improvements have been added that continue the lure’s effectiveness.  Rippertail’s current selection is not only sleek and effective but tangle free too.


Crappie fishermen rave about Rippertail Lures.  Kevin Weber, avid fisherman and staff writer for Missouri Great Outdoors, has this to say about Rippertail Lures:


“My first impression was the vibrancy of the colors and the unique tail…[they have] a soft feel that gave me the impression the fish would hold on to them instead of quickly spitting them out. …I started off with a three tone grey color and had fish immediately.  We worked [them] around structure and vertical jigging with success…I was pleased to see that they stayed on the hook well even after sever fish were caught. ”  Read the entire review here: http://www.missourigreatoutdoors.com/rippertail_fishing_lures.php


Proudly manufactured in the USA, Rippertail Lures are constructed with the finest soft-plastics using the latest injection molding technology in the industry to provide the high quality fishing lures available in the US.  Check out the entire line at www.RippertailLures.com.  Online ordering is now available.
