Random quote: I might get one of those furry Russian hats. Anyone ever strap a live dog to their head? I think our Westy would make a good hat, as he's quite warm. It's hard to make him sit still though, and he barks a lot. - MuskyHopeful

I had some small scraps of wood left over from previous builds so I made this small (8") cisco out of basswood. The body was coated with ghost pearl blue powder mixed with epoxy but the ghost blue part failed to show for the party. What did show up was a reasonable rendition of bone white which I've always had trouble producing. This is an oddball experiment because it used a mixture of Alclad lacquer paints and water based acrylics. The lure has a rattle chamber with one 1/4" ball bearing which makes a loud knocking noise.
