Yes, Kendall passed away in May so I am not sure what is going on with the company. Fischers Sporting Goods in Shepherdsville has several of the 1/4 ounce Silver Buddy's in both silver and gold. I think these lures are head and shoulders above any other blade bait made.

Kendall Jr. did pass away a few months ago. His dad, Sr. had started Silver Buddy and had sold part interest in the company to Jr. a few years ago and Jr. had been running the company since. Jr. had a few problems and the company had not been thriving as well as in the past. The company is right now in the court system for Jr's wife says she owns the company but Sr. says it is his company. My bet is that Sr. will end up with it eventually. The patten is no longer in effect on the bait so anyone can make them. 1/2 oz Silver is my favorite when I fish them and have a bunch in the box that probably have increased in value.

Barlows sales the molds to make the silver buddys. They call it the vibrating lure. Backwaters sell the same lure, they have a guy that makes them. As many as i lose I've thought about buying the mold myself.

You might try cutting off the front barb of the front treble hook. I do this and to me it does not seem to hang as much. Just a suggestion

I'll give that a try Elnut. Sounds like a good idea. Thanks

I buy some locally made ones around here that are much cheaper and in my opinion just as good if not better. I love them on Kentucky lake in the winter.
