Conclusion: With all the new baits in the Lucky Craft booth for 2010, in the spirit of our Year of the Crank
coverage, the one bait we were most anxious to see of course, was the SKT MR/DR. Unfortunately, Skeet Reese had been there before us and pocketed the only two sample baits Lucky Craft had on hand to show. We tracked Skeet down on his way out the door and to the airport, and after shaking his hand to congratulate him on his Classics win, asked him to hold up the baits for our readers to see. Thanks Skeet for showing off your new, not so secret baits!
