This is a 12" basswood crank done in the general shape of a Legend. I must admit that this shape was an absolute pain to get balanced properly during the float test. Don't think I'll be making many more shaped like this. This is a floater and with the small lip would have to be trolled with additional weight if you wanted to get it deep. Eyes are made with glow powder so they'll shine at night.

Looks killer. Love the colors. Couldn't even imagine trying to weight that properly. Have you had a chance to run it at all?

I haven't had a chance to run it yet since our lake just iced out. The weights are well separated relative to the center of mass position so I'm hoping to find some trolling speed where the lure begins to hunt. When I do get out I'm going to have 9 basement lures (all basswood) to try out at different speeds and different line tie positions.
