They are out of Guelph
As mentioned, Canadian guys. Costly, yes, but this is what your lures will look like if you use them
. Mainly because they are constantly getting bit! The custom colours definitely take fish! I usually buy clearance lures when I can and even my frugal self has been willing to shell out some dollars on whackum gear!Attachments

I've seen the custom colours of RRF but have not bought any for $16. Black and gold do fine for 1/2 the cost.

I find the last few years the colour doesn’t matter as much. But a few years ago before the fishing got this crazy with these millions of walleye I remember a day out at the lighthouse where no one was catching anything and we put a wackem nascar ripplin on one of the 6 rods and that one lure caught 17 of the 18 walleye. All stock ripplins just washed even when fished identical set ups and depths.
sounds like the nascar was a winner that day lazywave..
just to mention
buddy took his case of vintage ripplin redfins collection out fishin a big school of rainbows inbetween glasgow & stanley.. we hooked over 25 rainbows and a coho..his vintage blue back white/chrome side and orange belly was the best colour for action that day.
He traded redfins & got alot off ebay to build up his collection that was a good day to use um..ya we took that day off work..

That old orange belly blue and silver ripplin sure was a good one. I won’t forget the day it broke off at the back of the boat and I had to watch a 7ish pound walleye swim away with that amazing lure. That colour and the old Michael Jackson ripplin (pink/purple/silver with a black back) sure were amazing. I wish Cotten cordell would start remaking those colour patterns
ya lazywave the colours on that old antique redfin was so unique..yes it was amazing..ya thats the risk of using one of your favourite producers and then loosing it...sorry to hear that.
my friend jeff has close to 50 redfins..maybe more.. He has a good selection.. I will ask him if he has the MJ next time....ya he brought his redfins along a few times when we fished together including the erieau derby.. usually using copper spoons.. somedays was the better choice fishin for chrome..

I was getting them on black and gold but that colour did slow down
That’s when we went lure shopping and learned about the custom ones

Sometimes ...you just have to show them something different
If guys still have some of the vintage colours ...or pictures ....there are enough people doing custom painting...you could have some made
....I had a fellow 68 member paint me 2 redfins in glow wonderbread

You guys looking for custom stuff maybe look at bakers boys baits. I haven’t bought anything from them yet but the patterns looks good for Erie. I may get some dispies done up and see if their is a difference. I’ve been experimenting with dipsy colour and snubber combinations with regards to spoon choices for a couple years with good results. Oh and Mick I used the blue and chrome ripplin to target bows this year and it got hammered, this was my youngest sons first rainbow off the 7 colour in about 43 fow- weird in July.

Black and gold, orange/red belly was pretty reliable for a couple of years, blue chrome not so much.
The last 2 years out of Burwell, nothing.
Spoons have been the only reliable producer in those years. Some days it's a single or pair of spoons. LOL (why I have more than 1 of each)
