Hi Guys

Had time to finish up some Snot Rockets. Just over 10", 4 of them have hand burned scales, all have carved gills, mouth, etc. Hope you like them.

Thanks
Etch

Very nice, the hand carved gills/mouth and burned scales add a whole new dimension to them.

thanxs for the kind words, tried it with 2, worked fine in the testing,(no lost fish) if i start to lose fish, then i could always put a third treble on

I almost always catch my fish on the frontward most hook. A muskies mouth is wide enough that it's going to get a hook in it even with one treble right in the middle of the bait.
