100$ Custom-Painted MS on e-Bay !

Our beloved magic Swimmer has been custom painted in Threadfin Shad by Professional Custom Lure Builder and Painter JT Prior. Here is what the artist says on e-bay :

You Are Bidding on One New Sebile Magic Swimmer 125 (Rod and Reel not Included!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The biggest advantage from having some of the top Professional Anglers as clients has been that I am constantly being edjucated and exsposed to some of the best lures made.The Sebile Magic Swimmer is just another fine example of a "Killer Lure".The Magic Swimmer was Pivotal in Kenyon Hill's win at Clarks Hill Lake a couple of weeks ago on the Bassmaster Elite Tour as well as Steve Kennedy's high finish at Lake Murray last week.

I was the first Custom Lure Builder to list Sebile Magic Swimmers here on ebay a couple of weeks ago. I predicted in that listing that you would hear much more about these baits from the then upcoming Elite Tour stop at Lake Murray South Carolina. I was literally painting around the clock to supply these baits to the fishermen at Clarks Hill and Murray. After all the" Paint Slingin" and the air cleared, I had 6 left over. I will be listing these baits in the next few days as I find the time.

The Sebile Magic Swimmer is very effective now as well as a little later in the year on Schooling Fish and can be burned on a 7 to 1 Reel just beneath the surface.This bait runs straight as a string and wont roll over. This a deadly techneque to call up Bass on Humps and Deep Points and even more deadly when these baits are used together.. I say all this not to brag or be arrogant but to simply inform you that you are bidding on some of the absolute finest quality baits made.I said it and I can back it up.
