Alright, this has been my project in the winter. What a blast to make. Look forward to making different designs and patters! These are cedar wood, thru wire, water treated, with 6+layers of epoxy over and under the paint. I also played around with foil on a few of them, and airbrushing some transparent paints overtop.
Which one do you guys like the best (sorry about the poor picture, I really need to get better shots)?

They look great! Would love to see them swimming and preferably covered with teeth marks
Good luck fishing these!

It's very similar. I know this is a hot topic of debate. I'm not selling any baits, these are the only ones I've ever made. And I realize that it's pretty much a plow (Plow's are amazing lures). I'm working on some of my own shapes and designs. Just figured I'd emulate a lure I own and love for starters.

Who cares if it looks like a plow. That comment was totally uncalled for. Jeesh.
Your tail is thinner and a Frankie bait is similar too but people buy them and love them.
Your baits look great and I love the blue foil. wow.
