Location: KY | Here are a few baits I have been working on. The lures in the foreground have two coats of epoxy. One thin for sealing the wood and one strait up to smooth out the grain before paint. Cedar, pine, and maple.
I am especially excited about the two on the front left. They are wake baits that really kick up some water. I was inspired by Roumba bass baits.
The minnow baits are 8-9”. Some are weighted more than others.

| Very cool, are you going to add a flaptail to the wake baits? |

Location: KY | Thanks guys. I am not sure if I will add a flap tail. They swim well right now with a huge wake. I may add it to one of them still. I also thought about making one jointed. |

Location: oswego, il | I like the lip angle on those minnowbaits. Nobody makes them like that and I wish they would. Crazy shallow twtchbait. |

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Great looking lures there, Bruce
Wouldn't mind throwing those babies.
I'd like about an 8" glide bait in a shad color for the Cave next spring, and I'm sending you about 10 lures to paint for me over the winter.
Next spring we will get back and fish the Cave again, ok ?

| Those should be sweet twitch baits. How about the rest of the lures how are they coming along? |
