Though you may be pink with envy, please be advised that QP is under a strict, iron-clad agreement to produce replicas of this now vintage "collector's item" for me & only me.  Boo-hoo for you! See attached pic. Jimbo   8-) I should add that the effectiveness of my pink flamingo lake trout lure (a.k.a. "Magic Bait") is enhanced when deployed with a variety of complementary items (sold separately), such as: pink buoys, pink balloons, pink whirl-a-gigs.  These associated items, when spread out upon a trout-bearing lake's surface, somehow drive the larger, lunker-sized lakers in to a feeding frenzy.  Thus, they lash out aggressively at at the flashy pink invader jigging away in the depths of their territory. Sip your favorite pink cocktail from your affiliated pink goblet while trolling and the trout will practically jump into the boat with you! Jimbo   8-)

Well I’ve never posted about using the ‘Magic Bait’ because I didn’t want to provoke jealousy among fellow inuks. Bo sent me a couple of those over a decade ago and they are a vital part of my arsenal. Many will be skeptical, just as many seem to be skeptical of my paddle/rod paddling/jigging method. The proof is in the pudding as they say. Sometimes the craziest methods and lures work the best.  8-)

This same technique also works great for waldos. ;)
