The   OZARKFISHING  Connection  
Gilmore Tackle has been making some of the finest wooden top-water lures,
for over 50 years. Located in the heart of the Ozarks, they still make lures
the "old fashion way"... one at a time. Over the years they have expanded
their line of top-water lures to include many colors and designs.  All lures
are handcrafted of choice white sugar pine. Each is tested and tuned
before shipped.  You can fish them right out of the box.

For the collector and fisherman looking for perhaps the most unique lure
made, we offer the real snake skin top-water lures.  Snake skin Jumpers are
available in real rattlesnake, blacksnake, copperhead, and water moccasin
skins.

Gilmore Jumper




The Gilmore Jumper is the Championship surface bait that has won more tournaments than any other single lure
made by a single company. Twin reverse props create a terrific commotion bass can't resist. This is a favorite lure of
serious top water fisherman. The Gilmore Jumper can be listed among the elite of wooden top water baits of all time.



Oddball



This lure started it all. The tail is weighted to allow for long accurate casts. It stands straight in the water, and, with
little rod action, it will dip, duck, and swish .



Go-Getter




As the name implies this aerodynamically shaped design goes after the big ones. The front and rear blades are
reversed for maximum surface noise.




Hoodler


The Hoodler is a big, brawny lure that's not bashful in kicking up a fuss. The distinctive concave face produces a
loud pop while the rear prop flashes and gurgles.



Poppa Doodle



The deeply notched mouth chums the surface with the tail spinner adding a spray of bubbles that bass find
irresistible. Highly effective when fished in a stop and go manner.




                         Snake skin  



The most unique finish in the fishing world….and most deadly. Real snake skin coverings that put these baits in a
class of their own. Gilmore Tackle has developed a process that not only preserves the durability of snake skin but
retains the unique coloration of each species. A great lure for a serious top water fisherman or a unique one-of-a-
kind lure for the lure collector.
