Hi all, I searched and searched and couldn’t find any large sized propellers. So I decided to design my own and have a batch laser cut. They are just under 3” in diameter. It’s kind of a hybrid design that has the width of a globe blade with the classic style of a pointed propeller. I cup the blades and then mount them on a rivet bearing for smooth spinning and some metal on metal squeak. So far I’ve made some toppers, flaptail toppers, and some sub surface countdown propeller baits.

Posts: 523 | I highly recommend getting one of Mike's baits if you have the chance! I just got my double flaptail from him and it's an amazing looking and running bait. I hope to get it beat up to make it look even better! Haha! | ||

Posts: 20179 Location: oswego, il | Those all look incredible. I have made a few with screw eyes. I used a cup washer for the front blade, nothing on the back which lets it klink and klang on the screw eye. | ||

Posts: 114 | Amassing, I've never seen such attention to detail like these before. If I owned any of these I'm afraid they would only site in a display box on my mantel. Any chance you have video of any in action? Again, simply amassing. | ||
