June Saltwater Lure of the Month:
Nemire
Red Ripper
John Nemire was a fishermen introduced to the fishing world the
same way many of us get introduced: fishing endless days with his
Grandfather. Since the age of 7, John
fell in love with the sport and incessantly tried all of the new lures on the
market, often times trying to find new ways to improve the lure to catch new
fish. In the early 1970’s, John joined
the Toledo Bass Club and became very active in the local tournaments. It was at these tournaments that he began
making his own lures, trying to gain a
competitive advantage on the competition.
Soon after, fellow anglers saw his success and pestered him to make some
of these lures for them as well. Soon
after, Nemire Lures was created.
One of John’s most prized creations is the Red Ripper. Nemire dreamed of figuring out a way to
create a weedless crankbait with a rattle.
After endless tinkering and testing along with his son Jason, John
finally created the Red Ripper in 1998, his best selling bait to this day. The lure carries a distinct echoing ping
unlike any bait out there, Nemire’s own patented sound chamber. The interesting
thing about this chamber is that it can generate a lot of sound with very
little movement. The all metal construction and shape of the spoon amplify the
vibration and sound produced.
Tips on the Retrieve from TackleTour.com
The Red Ripper: The Red Ripper can be retrieved at
variable speeds making it is easy to control the depth of this lure. One
interesting thing is that it will always return in the right position, and will
not spin or turn over like other lures. Once you stop the retrieve the Red
Ripper will begin to drop to the bottom, but unlike normal spoons that simply
sink, the Red Ripper will wobble slowly to the bottom, resembling a baitfish.
The skirt on the Red Ripper can also be swapped or removed.
