December Saltwater Lure of the Month: Paul Brown's Original
December Saltwater Lure of the Month: Paul Brown's Original
Happy Holidays to all of the Fishing Enthusiasts!
In
1974, avid Angler Paul Brown began experimenting with different types
of trout lures. He worked out of his garage, a place that his wife,
Phyllis, lovingly called "The Shop". It was in this very shop that Paul
knew he was on to something with his newest creation, the "Corky". The
Corky has gone on to become one of the best big seat trout lures ever
made, and is sold through Mirrolure's great line of baits.
It
was always Paul's dream to supply fishermen throughout the country with
a creation of his own, and this dream has been a reality for many
years. Paul continues to work with MirroLure consulting on lure
creation to this day.
The
Corky was a unique lure that is actually a hybrid between a hard plug
and a soft plastic. If you look at the organic looking lure, it
features a torpedo-like profile, an oversized eye, a subtle rattle, and a
set of sticky sharp hooks that give it a very home made appearance.
The built in action of the Paul Brown Original, when fished correctly,
is absolutely deadly on big speckled trout.
Deadly
on coastal predators, Paul Brown’s Original Series Lures have a
soft-bodied mullet profile. This lure once held the Texas State record
for speckled trout and has taken thousands of other trophy-sized fish.
Scientifically weighted with an internal wire harness and fish-calling
rattle, the Original’s suspending action and lifelike eye make this one
outstanding lure. The Original darts erratically from side-to-side with a
twitching retrieve. Working depth: 0 to 24".
