Location: oswego, il | Not sure if i posted these before but here are a couple i made. As you can see the paint job is of intricate detail, double envirotex. The first one is a quad blade that i put the small colorado blades on. Putting those blades on is a huge pain in the dick. The blade turns slow and the small blades clink and clank. A different sound than the triclops bait that has a three blade prop which wbips the small bladss as it rotates fast.
The second is a prop bait. Makes good noise as there isn't a washer on the rear blade.and spins well.

| I bet a few in your boat might laugh at the first one...until it shows itself different enough from the crowd baits to draw strikes-nice work. on the topper, it looks like the rear blade is bent at opposing angles a bit more than the front prop. Does that make it spin better? |

Absolutely super paint job, you're to be commended. Black probably catches more fish on topwaters than any other color. |

Location: oswego, il | I tune on the rear blade to get it right. You have to be careful when bending the blades, you do not want to bend the center part as it can impede spinning. You can also drill the hole bigger too which can make the blade move around more at more angles. |
