Welcome to our "Gallery". I like to keep things as simple as possible, the only criteria to get your photo on here is that you must have been using something supplied by "Chico's Lures" to catch the fish in the photo. I don't care if the fish is big or small but a nice clean image is essential.
Get your photo on by sending the image to thewaits@btinternet.com

Been a while but Chris Lowe recently contacted me ref. Ti Leaders and just happened to mention a "34" he had whilst using one, here is in all of her beautiful enormity. A fantastic looking fish, thank you for sharing Chris
As if that beaut wasn't enough Chris also took this 27 in 3 ft of water, another fantastic looking fish taken on with of my Ti's.

Oliver Tomlinson with a cracker he had on a Dadson Blade Baits 'Lil Darlin' in Voigt Walleye very recently. Top job Oliver.

Kyle Smith with one of 5 pike taken on a Lucky Strike Lizard within 45 minutes on a water that was not producing anything to deads.
....................................................
Martin Heath with the best of an 8 fish haul whilst modeling the Musky Armor gloves. Looking very pleased as this fish was his new PB, top stuff.
......................................................................
OK a massive cheat coming up, that is me and not the angler.At a recent Lincoln PAC talk I discovered that Terry Eldridge is a big fan of the Lucky Lizard spoon and has has plenty of fish on them, now the 32 below was caught on a Lucky Strike Lizard but it was on one he had bought from somewhere else but as he has since bought plenty from me I really thought I should show what they are capable of.
A cracking fish at over 32, caught on a Lizard, tail cropped as the boat was too short to get her all in!
.....................................................................................
Craig Bennett with 3 crackers, the first on a Cobb's softail the other two caught with the aid on my lovely little Ti leaders.Nicely done Craig.
.............................................................................
Kevin O'Keeffe mailed me to refresh his memory on the name of this Cobb's Perch bait, so I told him
He then told me he wanted to know as he had just had his new PB at 25.08 on it too! A cracker Kevin.
.........................................................
Tony McTaggart sent me in this very nice shot of a cracker on a Manta
Just to prove she didn't fall off here she is again.
..............................................................................................................
Jimmy Minors just had this cracking Perch on a Smuttly DB5. The perch wasn't as shy as Jimmy! Lovely looking fish though.
.....................................................
Sie Blaydes had this sweet mid double that gave him the fight of the season on a Dadson's Blade bait Lil' Darlin, An absolute minter.
.................................................
Andy Scott just happened to mention he's had a nice fish or two on the MM Spinnerbaits and then sent me this! This one fell to the charms and the thump of a 3oz Texas-T Huey.
Very pleased he shared.
..........................................................................
Simon Blaydes, just what can you say about him that hasn't already been said? He took delivery of a lovely little Smity Scuttlebug on Sat. morning just before he left for a days chubbing and decided that he'd see how it swam.
First cast and a non chub-shaped bulge followed her across the river and BAM!! This sweet mid double nailed it!! First Scuttle Bug, first cast and the first "Gallery member to hold a pike like a machine-gun!!
Well done Sie.
STOP PRESS-that lad Blaydes just mailed me another pic that he just took, seemed that after a perch session he chucked his scuttle bug in again, had perch attacking it and then this
Sie is mightily impressed with the Scuttle Bug, he has has a maximum of 12 casts and 2 spankers.
..............................................................................
Pete Kennett getting in with the topwater action with a Smity Scuttlebug, unweighed but just about a double, she christened Pete's new Scuttlebug by "sipping" it off the top.
..........................................................
Jamie Pearce is getting far too regular on here! Shows he is catching though.This double, Jamie's new topwater PB came to a Smity Scuttlebug. Congrats on the new PB and throw it some more.
.........................................................
Ciaran Wilson aka "Mr Lucky", bagged a bumblebee manta from us in a PAAS raffle then went out and had his first ever 20, this 23.12 on it! To top things off he was using one of our Ti's too. Congrats Ciaran, hope it's the first of many.
...............................................................................................................................
Micky Jones with a cracker of a 22.08, caught on a deadbait of all things! Thought I'd include Micky and his latest girl as he buys lures by the barrowload from me and he is modeling his lucky "Chico's" shirt.
Never had a twenty or want to catch more? Lucky shirts are available!!!!!!!
............................................................
Jim Gourlay recently beat his lure caught PB with this 18.06 beastie (sorry but it is a Scottish fish). Came to a Lac Seul Manta, the Bumblebee was just for comparison. Top work Jim.
................................................
Johnny Nimmo had these two cracking perch recently at 3.02 and 2.14 both fell to Smuttly DB4's-Top job Johnny and thank you for sharing.
..........................................................................
Jamie Pearce with a cracking new PB at 23 and change, top job and rightly over the moon with her. She went like stink apparently but one of our Ti leaders was more than up to it, a Musky Armor glove helped stop any raker rash.
...................................................................................................................
John Greenwood with one of 3 doubles he took in a morning all on Smuttly's, this one took a Black Objibwa Perch Stubby C.
Whilst John is being distracted, Bill remains ever watchful and keeps an eye out for more pred activity.
.......................................................
Pete Kennett getting amongst them and obviously thrashing the water to a foam!
.........................................................
Jim Morrice with a cracker of a Scottish 23.06 fish taken on a Copper Tiger "Hector" and Ti leader. These Scottish fish are all teeth and attitude, cracking catch Jim (he did tell me he fancied himself for a 20 before he went)
...............................................................
Yes the MM's are meant to be a "Big fish" bait but one attracted this little fella who was clearly punching above his weight.John Forrett practicing for the bigger girls
..............................................................
Ben Thomas looking very pleased with himself modeling a Smuttly hat and a Musky Armor glove, I'm sure the very sweet 20 is purely incidental.
......................................................
Sie Blaydes in his natural element
.......................................................
Gary Green with a Danish "20". Terrible hat though.
...................................................
Simon Nichol with a Muskiemachinery caught cracker
..........................................................
Sie Blaydes takes another step nearer the 3lb perch mark
.......................................................
Steve Moore just loves the Musky Armors, Mrs Moore loves his soft hands!
..............................................................
"Miami" Stagg looking happy with his gloves, could be the Chew beauty that's making him smile really though.
.......................................................
That dashing young man in that hat again! Gary Green with another Danish 20 subdued with a Ti leader.
..............................................
Hey word has spread, Richard Burger and Marcel Strelitski from the Netherlands doing the whole male model bit before on this occasion blanking.
..................................................................
Ben Thomas modeling a prototype Smuttly hat and wearing a sexy little Musky Armor glove. Included as his old hat seemed to have lost the little "mojo" it had so I sent him a new one to "field test"-result-his 1st ever pike on a spinnerbait !!
..................................................................
Jamie Pearce with a bar of gold and suitably dressed with a little something from our spring/summer/autumn/winter collection. It doesn't have to be a pred to make our gallery.
