π₯ BEHIND THE SCENES: Designing the "Backwood Bear" Signature Lure! π οΈπ»
Bears, the partnership with Heavenly Jigs & Heavenly Custom Rods is moving fast. We aren't just slapping a logo on a bagβwe are building something from the ground up that is designed specifically for Missouri waters π£
βI have been chatting with our partners today brainstorming the first Backwood Bear chatterbait, and we want YOUR input.
βοΈWe need a color that can handle the "Chocolate Milk" of a flooded Missouri River but still look natural in a crystal-clear Ozark spring.
βπ³οΈ THE VOTE: Choose the First Color!
βWeβve narrowed it down to three custom blends. Which one would you tie on first?
1. β"THE BIG MUDDY" πͺ΅
βThe Vibe: Heavy Orange, Brown, and Black with a Copper flake.
βBest For: Stained water and big River Cats or Bass hunting crawdads in the mud.
2. β"THE MOSSY BLUFF" πΏ
βThe Vibe: Green Pumpkin and Dark Purple with a hint of Red flake.
βBest For: That classic "Ozark clear" water. It mimics a bluegill or a sun-baked crawfish perfectly.
3. β"THE MIDNIGHT BEAR" π
βThe Vibe: Solid Black with Blue and Silver "stardust" flake.
βBest For: Overcast days, night fishing, or deep timber where you need a strong silhouette.
βThe Bear Challenge: Which one is the "Must-Have" for your tackle box?
βDrop a 1, 2, or 3 in the comments! * Bonus: If you have a name for a custom Missouri color (like "Jacomo Jewel" or "Little Blue Bruiser"), letβs hear it!
βThe most popular choice is going into production FIRST. Letβs build this, Bears! π
