Did you make your own lip for this lure or were you able to find a supplier?

Made it. Just tested off the dock... Runs excellent. Slight wiggle and with the croaking tail, should get bit.

heres a video of the bait http://youtu.be/XKmPZlGk0Qs in action. Was being cast 25-30' in the pool and the gopro picked up the sound quite easily. Im guessing, if a musky can hear as well (or better) than a human, then this could be heard from 50+ feet away.

Did this bait produce for you last year? It looks incredible.

nope. Left it on the dash of my car one day (like an idiot) while working. In short, bubbled the hell out of the finish from the heat and haven't done anything with it since.

Makes some nice noise. I wonder how it would look with a bigger lip on it. Cool bait.

Hey Joe, fish it....you just might be onto something!

I'd send you some $$ but honestly I'm "lured-up" for a good while now with a boxful (BOXFULLL!!) of new-to-me Suicks and a Barfighter. Plus I'm making 4 handmades in my woodshop.

Jeremy.....I'm such a d_mn lush! Got too many baits already!!

Hi Jeremy,

Sound advice, but got supplies to make many and like doing it. plus bljc30 is going to catch a jumbo on it and thats what its all about!
Please post those baits your making when done! us addicts need regular fixes.

Joe
