Here is the first look at the new 10" Perka in with a batch of heavy Perkas that I did last week. This is the one with the Cracked Ice Glow Pearl prism tape. You can see what I mean that glo or no, it'll be a good daytime color too.
This will also give you a perspective as to what the 10" bodies will look like compared to the standard 7"ers.
3" longer and about a half an inch wider with 2" screw eyes.
I'll be working on the weighting and filling for the next week or more, and then it'll be time to lay some paint on those bad boys.
If you have any requests or suggestions, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do.
They move a long way on the glide, hover well and move a heck of a lot of water every time that they move.
I'm making a limited supply of the 10"s this year, but if guys like them and want them, next year I'll do more.

Thanks.
Didn't mean to get repetative, but I posted this in the Tackle and Equipment forum, but I guess it didn't belong there.
Yeah, the second one down I did with a pinstripe brush. I do the same thing with my Firetiger pattern. Instead of a stencil, I pinstripe the tiger stripes on the lure so no 2 are alike.
I did a bunch of the hevay perkas, and right now I'm working on drilling and weighting the 10"ers, and then I think that I'll do some small batches of 10's, because I'm not going to do very many of those.
I have a notebook full of sketches, but I always seem to wind up doing some Perch, something natural in the shad or shiner family and a couple flourescent patterns. Maybe for a change I'll make a bunch of unseen colors instead of slightly different variations of the same ol' thing.

Not much e-bay for me.
I normally try to sell all the stuff that I make to muskiefirsters.
