The Monster Shad on the left is just about like new. Been used a few times, has minor hook rash.

The other three are repaints.

The B-flat on the right has a rough finish over which I painted and cleared, but it runs good, is cleared nice and has caught fish.

I fish only my own homebrew baits now, so I'm selling just about all the lures I've purchased over two decades of musky fishing.

I may also sell a few of my prototypes if anyone is interested.

Thanks.

That's a piece of solder wrapped around the shank of the front treble to get it to dive just a bit deeper on each rip of the rod. I like my jerkbaits to get down a bit deeper than the shorter Sledge normally dives.

The solder can be easily removed by simply unwrapping it from the treble.

By the way, I'm not sure if I included my email in my profile on this board. It is:
