| Long time lurker, first time poster here.
These are a couple of my new musky baits. Both are 8" thru wire baits made out of white cedar.
Edit: Okay, I'm having issues posting pics. Will try to figure it out when I have more time.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I really appreciate it.
The fins are made using patterns that I cut out of heavy paper/card stock with an exacto knife. I rarely ever use the same one twice. I like building and painting one off baits that are unique to one another. |

Thanks Karl and glad you like it. Here are a couple of pictures that I took of your bait.
2 things become very obvious here....
I can't repaint a lure and I can't take a good picture.
Though I did say pics didn't do your work justice. Perhaps I should have stated "My" pics didn't do your work justice. |

Thanks Karl, but I'm no photographer either. Sometimes I'll take 20 pics to get 1 good one.
And Jack- That there is creeping clover. It's pretty thick in that section of the yard. |
