Art's Comments

I have been competing in bass tournaments since the age of 16. In that time, I've been blessed to fish in every level of bass competition. From the local tournaments around Michigan where I grew up and learned a lot of what I know today, to competing 4 times in the Bassmaster's Classic and winning two Bassmaster National Tournaments.

I also fish the FLW Tour, FLW Series, BASS Northern Tour and the Stren (Everstart) Midwest Series, and still make time to guide anglers for summertime smallmouth bass on Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie.

In the winter months, I guide in Central Florida for largemouth. For 15 years, I guided on Lake Okeechobee and just recently, moved north to Central Florida lakes near Orlando. Residing in St. Cloud and fishing Lake Toho/Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, Stickmarsh and Butler Chain of Lakes.

This has enabled me to be a versatile angler and by God's grace, considered a specialist for smallmouth and offshore structure fishing.

After several years of pouring my own tube jigheads, I have decided to design these baits and sell them to the public. I am sure you will enjoy these products. I have been blessed with the results and you will be too. I felt it in my heart to develop:


Performance Series

Tube heads which give a natural action to your bait with a streamline action on retrieve. Weight is distributed properly on the hook to give bait a vertical fall and puts the nose down for life like movements of the tube. I'm very proud of this design.

Impact Series

Drop shot weights which will cut through grass, bounce over rock and give you enough feel to know you are on the bottom. Designed to give you more feel with less hang ups. When dragging, this weights the deal!

Mush Head Series

Grub/worm heads with some awesome color combinations that accentuate your baits with chip proof paint. If you are into the "shaky head" craze, this head is designed just for that! A design that lets the bait fall vertical to the structure you are fishing and when swimming, it keeps the baits swimming straight. The barbs on this bait won't slip or rip your finesse worms.

Cut Head Series

Stand up worm/grub heads  were designed with a need for a "stand up" style jig head. Cut on an angle to make your "shaky" head worm or creature bait stand up while working through rock and rough terrain. Just as the Mush Head Series, the colors are awesome and your baits won't rip when rigging this on these secure barbs.

Cut 'n Edge Series

Swim jigs which will get you to the fish when other baits won't. A cutting edge on this bait will help you swim over brush or it'll cut up grass instead of hanging up. Several color combinations with chip proof paint, 3D eyes and beautiful silicone skirts. I'm real excited about this bait and you will be too.

With all these PROVIDER products, I use OWNER hooks which I believe are the strongest, sharpest hooks on the market today.

Please go to the Product Showroom to look over products and purchase online. These products are only being sold online at this time!

God bless you and good fishing,
