The HBC Extreme Raffle

Where are they today? Where are those early original swimbaits? Where are those original Castaic wooden baby bass and wooden smallmouth bass swimbaits - the ones that were made in extremely limited quantities? Believe it or not, many of those original and rare swimbaits and hundreds of other timeless classics are still around. Most are found under lock and key in display cases belonging to the most dedicated swimbait collectors – But not all of them…

The Heavyweight Bass Classic is pleased to announce two earth-shattering and historic raffles to coincide with its historic inaugural Heavyweight Bass Classic trophy bass tournament.

The first raffle is simply insane. Like the HBC itself, the HBC Extreme Raffle will be a gutsy, winner-takes-all raffle. That’s right – ONE winner gets the whole kit and kaboodle. Here are some of the unbelievable prizes included in the HBC Extreme Raffle:

One Dobyns 807 MAG Heavy Fast swimbait rod equipped with a Shimano Calcutta 400TE reel,
One Dobyns 806 Heavy Fast swimbait rod equipped with a Shimano Calcutta 400TE reel,
One Castaic hand-carved wooden trout with box number A 387,
One Castaic 2nd generation injected polystyrene Hardbait Trout with white box,
One Castaic Baby Smallmouth with box,
One Castaic Baby Bass first generation with box number A 142,
One Castaic Baby Bass second generation with box number 134,
Three Huddleston Deluxe ROF-12 eight-inch Holdover Trout swimbaits,
Three Huddleston Deluxe ROF-5 eight-inch Trout swimbaits,
Three Huddleston Deluxe ROF-12 six-inch Holdover Trout swimbaits,
Three Huddleston Deluxe ROF-5 six-inch Trout swimbaits,
One Huddleston Deluxe 12” Trout swimbait.
(Note: More prizes will be added to this Extreme Raffle Prize as they become available)

But wait, there’s more!

In addition to the exciting HBC Extreme Raffle, there will be a separate special raffle for FIVE custom hand-carved 3:16 swimbaits made by Mickey Ellis of 3:16 Lure Company. Each of these swimbaits (appropriately named “The Real Deal”) is numbered (one through five) and personally signed by Mickey Ellis himself. How can you put a value on such swimbaits? They are, in every sense of the word, priceless and simply unavailable anywhere else in the world. Unlike the HBC Extreme Raffle, a ticket will be drawn for each of the five Real Deal swimbaits.

The Extreme Raffle and the 3:16 Real Deal Raffle will take place during the awards ceremony of the inaugural Heavyweight Bass Classic at Lake Casitas on January 25, 2008 and can be seen live on the live streaming video feed of the HBC. The winners need not be present to win.
