Silver Buddy

[Dakota Kid]

Does anyone know what has happened to the Silver Buddy? I can't find them anywhere? Dad and I used to use them throught the ice for walleye, but I live down here and have ran out. Dad said that he can't find them in S. Dak. either. Can anyone help.

Heard it was out of production.

This from a previous post:

"We have the original Silver Buddy in silver 1/2 and 1/4 oz. We also have a few gold 1/4 oz left. Most of you know about the Silver Buddy and how "It catches anything that swims."

Anglers Outpost and Marine in Nicholasville

Good Luck

I might have to order them from that shop. Thank you.

Backwaters in Lexington has some of the 1/2 ones... from my understanding the gentleman that made them got sick and passed away, then heard one of the sons was making them but that fell through and no one seemed to be able to get them for a while, now they are coming out of Florida and have the same packing as the old ones but the new ones have a salt water hook.

****'s Sporting Goods has them, you just have to get down low and really look for them. Also Bullfrog Creek Tackle has a nice looking knockoff that looks almost like the original. Plus Bullfrog Creek has a going out of business sale going on....50% off on everything left in the store except live bait.... Plapps or Anglers Outpost Marine might also have some of them on hand as well.....

Bullfrog Creek is still open? I thought it closed a while back. Cool.

Also check with Steven Headrick at Punisher Lures. Yes the Silver Buddy is a great one, you might also ck around the bank on lake Cumberland I know I have several down there, now that the water is low might find one or two, lol.

you may try quick stop in celina tn. Go to punisher lures, and they have a web site, and they will also ship them to you. The heddon sonar is almostas good, or you may need to try ther cicadia type of that bait, theyare all similar, my favorite, the spin rite is getting impossible to find also.

This may substitute for a spinrite. I've never used this site myself, so can't vouch for them.

I'm leary of One Stops blade bait. They cut the hook eye to put the hook on the blade and then pinch it closed again. I've personally been using Bass Pros XPS Lazer Blade lately. It's ok but the chrome wears off to the brass blade quicker than I'd like.

I think I'll try this site for my next order. They have a great selection of colors at a good price. Their blade bait is called Lit'l Nitro.

yeah those are almost exact copies of the spin rite thanks, now to find out how to order them

[Fisherjoe]

There is a cheap knock-off that looks exactly like a Silver Buddy called the Lit'l Nitro. Do an online search to find retailers or look on e-Bay. Several shops sell them there for around $1.25 each. I have not fished them yet, but a friend has and claims he can't tell the difference.

Bass Pro has Gay Blades, they are just as good

A buddy of mine makes them a kind of a sonar bait ,We tear up the sauger & Hybrid Stripes on them in the Ohio
