This winter I built 78 baits, Glides, Jerk, Cranks and 3 prop baits. I really love to build more than painting and I really like to challenge myself on making different types of baits, it's really fun to get hem to work properly. Anyway here are some of the baits I was able to paint for myself to take to LOTW trips, including Eagle lake. I am loving my retirement, no more work just fishing

Yes I have made a all bunch, Jerk rise baits, crank baits 13 inch jerk and some awesome glide baits, the shape of walleye. I donated a bait to young kid about 16 years old last year on LOTW, just saw him this last trip, he caught a 50 inch muskie on my bait

These are all wood, the jerk baits are made from Basswood, the glider I make them from 1 inch deck board PVC, they have better action than hardwood. I do use Maple and oak for the glider, but by far the PVC deck board works the best

Ever had any issues with the PVC board as far as breaking?

The white trim boards will break on baits over 6 inches but the one inch PVC deck boards is really strong. When I use PVC I use 1/2 or 3/8 inch maple dowel pins, depending on the thickness of the bait for the hook hangars and and the tow line. I have a complete tutorial on tackle underground website for the installation of the dowel pins

They sure look good for sure. Are the deck boards in a different area at the store?

Look up company that build decks, or google Azek PVC deck board they should have a list of dealers, I purchased my supply from a deck company going out of business out of St Charles Illinois, I did not have any luck at Home Depot or Menard
