Paul Brown Corky Bback vs. Brown Mullet Floater

[itemsports]

Enough said! I own plenty of Brown Devil Eyes, but you cannot deny the evidence. Brown Mullet is in the middle vertical and Paul Brown's Bbacks are on both the left and right, perfectly horizontal!

Cast the lure and work it. You dont catch fish setting lures in a tank on your desk...

Before a bandwagon of people want to set ablaze a lot of hard work we put in designing the insert in this lure all I ask is you use it as its intended. Looks are deceiving, as we all know.

I bought several of the Brown Mullet Floaters, assuming that it would sink horizontally like the Corkies. As your pic shows, that's simplly not the case.

Now I want to give all of the Floaters away because it just takes up space in my tackle box and I have no interest in throwing them. I'd reach for my Corky every time because my bites typically come on the fall.... and I have more confidence in a plug that falls horizontally instead of 'back-end' first.

Unfortunately I have tied on the Brown Mullet and fished the lure. I noticed the first time I fished the lure the A** end sank first and the lure stayed vertical instead of correcting itself horizontally, it's flawed. I get that you are defending your lure, own it, it's yours, but it doesn't take away the evidence.

**** If you clamp the 1/32 oz solder rings to the front of the lure, the lure almost corrects itself.

Fortunately I have tied on a BLFM and it did catch fish. Yeah sure they don't sink perfectly horizontal but the fish didn't seem to care and last time I checked they didn't advertise it as such. Hell when you fish a soft plastic it dives nose down when you pause it. I too own both and haven't really noticed any difference in the fish catching ability. Granted I don't fish either of them a whole lot, I'm more of a corky fatboy guy myself, but I've fished both and both will catch quality trout.

I don't see the point of this post itemsport. Do you have something personal against Brown Lures? Did they steal your girlfriend or kick your dog or something? Seems like a lot of people on here have it out for Brown Lures floating mullet for no good reason. Sure Paul Brown is a great man and a great innovator. He changed the fishing industry. I made a lot of visits to his house when I was younger and enjoyed every one. Do I have a degree of loyalty to him and his products? Of course, but at the end of the day they're JUST FISHING LURES and I for **** sure am not going to come onto a public forum to outwardly try and bash his grandson's products for making a lure similar to one their grandfather makes. Their just trying to make a living, stop trying to hinder that.

Should not have to do anything to the lure but tie it on, cast it, and fish with it, no modifications should have to be done if it's a good lure.

Well then you wouldn't call the corky broken backs good lures either since people use solder to modify those. Shoot people modified corky originals for years, stuck nails in them, changed hooks, bent them, etc. Un-modified the BMF actually floats as it's name implies, it rides right under the surface. Again it's a different lure from a BB corky. I'm actually really excited to throw it on those days when trout are just slapping topwaters. I think it could really excel here as the fish wouldn't have to come all the way up to get at it. Tinkering and modifying lures to suit YOUR needs is half the fun of fishing
