| Hey all, I just finished these up. It’s my first try at a trout pattern. I hope to make a trip to Melton Hill someday and hopefully this will do the trick. My perch pattern seems to be ever evolving; I’m always tweaking something on it.

| Thank you for the complements gents, much appreciated. Those are the last of the 2015’s but I’m starting to get ready for next year’s batch and I do have some ideas for a new walleye pattern. I found a metal flake called “gold gone wild” lol and it has holographics mixed in with the gold metal flake. I’m looking forward to playing with that. I’ll post’em when done |

| Well I thought I was done with the 2015’s, but I built a few more so I could dial in a new lip configuration - Molly Diver AL in Yellow Perch

Location: varies | What promoted the lip change? Rock banging?
I see the line tie is a different location. Does it run a lot different than the lexan lipped ?
great shape bait. I like it. |

| The AL lip is an option not a change. I’ve never broke a lexan lip before, but yeah it’s for “rock banging”. The real reason is I see a lot of guys building baits this way now and I just like to be trendy... lol. Also I liked the challenge of figuring it out. The action is a little different

Location: Waconia,MN | Where do you have those aluminum molds made? |
|
|
|
| I make them myself. Any CNC mill and some CNC routers can cut aluminum. If you’re looking to have one made I’ve seen a place called “custom lure factory” on facebook. I don’t know anything about them but they seem to be on the right track. There used to be a guy on here called anzomcik that could build molds, not sure anymore |
