Louisiana Local

Visit Cull-'em Out on Facebook for some of the best-looking hand-painted swimbaits I've ever seen.

I met Mr. Brian this past weekend (12-31-2022) while fishing with my brother on Toledo Bend and we all had a nice 'boat chat' as we rounded to the front of the same dock we were fishing. As we all chatted, Mr. Brian showed me and my brother some of his hand-painted swimbaits with some casts and retrieves in front of my brother's boat as we watched the baits swim by.

He had a bluegill swimbait that looked so lifelike and real. One I've never seen the likes of before. It even did a complete 180 as the retrieve was stopped and the bait just suspended there a few inches below the surface.

You have to check these baits out!

Thanks, Mr. Brian for the deep-diving crankbait too!
