2000 – ICAST “Best of Show” award, as the outstanding lure of the year.

February 24, 2002 Lure review by Tackle Tour – The Anglers Source for tackle new and reviews.
John Nemire has created the most versatile and exciting new lure we have tested to date. The Spoon Buzzer and Red Ripper are so much more then just a spoon. Whether you want to call them spoons, inline spinners, inline buzzbaits, or metal crankbaits…this lure can do it all. With a little practice and creativity these lures really can be fished in almost any application. The creation of two brand new patented features make this lure exciting in itself, but what is most exciting to us is that John Nemire has designed a product that addresses so many applications, uses top notch materials, and a great construction to produce a lure that fish just haven’t encountered before. The incredible detail and forward thinking design of this lure make it the only product to ever win TackleTour’s “Innovation Award!” Congratulations Nemire Lures!

2006 – Bassmaster Magazine 2006 Tackle Guide – Until now, the fishing world only knew topwater spoons in gold, silver or black, but this year John Nemire changed the rules. His famous Red Ripper spoons, as well as his Spoon Buzzers, are available in beautiful colors, including chartreuse, red, fluorescent green, purple and white. Skirts match them, too, and you can mix blade/spoon colors with the Spoon Buzzers. Sizes available are 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and 5/8 ounce. Three decades ago, wobbling surface spoons were the standard for Toho and other grass-filled lakes. It will be interesting to see how the bass react to these lures, since they’ve never seen them in these colors.
