Location: Pewaukee, WI		I'd like to see the action on each one. I'll just bet you get great wobbling action out of the coffin bill. Beautiful paint job on those baits too.

Location: Moses Lake, WA		I've got a whole bucket with something like 19 lip lure experiments in it that need testing but unfortunately our lake is still frozen over. If they all turn out to be a bomb I'll have to load them into the boat and go out in a Vikings funeral.

Nice work, you are quite the tinkerer.  I love that stuff.  Did you perhaps play with Shrinky Dinks a lot as a kid? lol

Location: Moses Lake, WA		Mike -
I've got these 24 lures to test just as soon as we ice out. You'll note that one of your 10" Mollys is in there to test against one that has a load of siding and epoxy on it for differences in action. I've even got a couple of Rapala scatter raps that are supposed to be the standard for "hunting." The remainder of the lures have slightly different lips and some have had a bit of ballast added up near the horizontal centerline to make them slightly unstable. About one more week and our ice should be gone.
