| I'll be making a few of these type of topwaters which will be for sale in a few weeks (hopefully)
...along with a few cranks. Still working out the business details but almost done.
Hope you like 'em.
I shot the pictures of this one right after I put the finish coat on and before I tuned the prop. The prop is actually bent back a bit and it runs excellent. Steady retrieve and it cooks right along:

Location: oswego, il | Those look awesome! One thing you may want to give a try is not put a bead on the back of the blade to buffer it from the srew eye. Try one once without it. It will beat bang and clang and make alot of noise. Just a suggestion but keep up the awesome work. |

| Joel the Palm bait in Amber Tiger is a deep diver and will go deep on short line when trolling. It will handle speed trolling nicely.
The Musky Mint will run about 4 to 8 feet while trolling and about 3 to 6 while casting (Both of those depth zones are areas of the water column I favor for muskies).
Most of the baits shown are already spoken for. The Top Dog, which is a walk the dog style topwater, and the Lizard Torpedo will be on Ebay soon, along with a few others I have previously posted in the last few months.
I finalized the details for "Fatfingers Baits" today, so I'm officially in business. I'll be selling on a very limited basis and hope to eventually sell direct to a limited number of buyers, but my business model may change as time goes on. I intend to severely limit the numbers of baits I offer for sale so that I can keep the quality extremely high.
I always appreciate the comments from the excellent, seasoned builders on this site. Thanks again you guys. I'm kind of excited about the idea of selling a few baits. Lol, it would be nice to see a few bucks coming back in instead of going out all the time. It will be nice to be able to cover the cost of some of the supplies, which as you guys know, seem to be never-ending.
Todd, I may test that tip you offered. Thanks for input. That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for and I appreciate it very much.

| Mota, no website yet. Probably going to try Ebay at first. I won't offer the numbers to justify a website at this point at least. I'm going to continue to build the same way I always have. I appreciate the inquiry. I'll post some kind of notice before I throw anything on Ebay. I'm not a big Ebay guy, so I'm probably going to have get some help from a few friends at first. |
