These are couple balsa cranks. I haven't made any in long while and tried to simplify the process of making the line through, weighting, sealing, and painting them even the bill and bill slot. They seem to be the most matched pair weighing 27g before hooks, rings, and two top coats. They are 6" and I hope run 3-4ft.

Good job on the painting! I really like the detail you put into the patterns.

I used lace and two types of scale masking and 10 colors for the natural one prob overkill but I made it for our local dnr wildlife biologist that's over our surroundings area
