Location: Muskoka Ontario,Canada		Looking good. Is this going to be a dive and rise jerkbait? I can see that you are really enjoying this process and I look forward to seeing how the bait comes along.

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water		go with the pike pattern we discussed through pm's.
is this a single bait? or are you making several at the same time? Having several prototypes at your disposal quickens the process.

You might consider checking with Stamina or Rollie and Helen's Musky Shop to buy a stainless steel lip for that style of bait. It attaches with three small screws and should really work well with that type of body.

Really nice job of carving your first bait. I like how you made the head longer; it seems to give it more detail.

Keep on truckin', you're doing great!
