| A friend of mine requested i make him some popular colors of the homemade baits i am making. I thought i would share them all with you. I am going to take them down to the river for the final check tonight.
This bait is 9 inches in body length and 10 1/2 inches over all length. This is the first time I have worked with glass eyes, i must say its a bit different than working with stickers. When i get acess to a good camera I will post more baits and better pictures. These phone camera's just do not do the baits justice.
Many More to come!

| Did you give one of these to Cpt Larry in November? I saw a bait just like this that was very well built and had the same hook set up. Very nice baits. |

That style hook keeps your hook rash down...
Just like used on lokes. The muskies tend to damage the hooks pretty good in the net from thrashing. |

| Hey guys. I still need to take pics of the other eight colors. I just took them off the wheel yesterday. All you guys from st clair must think alike. These baits are for a friend that charter's there. someone had a question about the lip. They eighth inch lexan . i intend to put a bigger lip that will dive to depths of twenty or more. when i can access to a real computer instead of my phone i will post the rest of the baits. Thanks for all the kind words. |

| zach, Yes i gave captain larry a couple baits to try. But the body you saw is not the same as these this is a inch shorter and is not as fat. This bait should also achieve depth much easier. Glad you like the baits. |

| PepsiBoy,
For this bait i am sure if I shortened the lip I could get the bait to max out at 10ft for 100 ft of line. The action of the few baits i swam seems is fast and tight wiggle. but the above model really likes to dig. i am going to guess its in the 15 ft range. maybe as much as 20.
I have a 10.5 inch bait that i am getting ready to paint here soon that will likely. I think with the steaper lip angle and shorter lip it should be right up that alley.
Hard water makes dive curves challenging! |

| The hooks are Gamakastu. The doubles are the Extra Wide Gaps. I cant remember the treble. But it is not the 4x. They are magic eyes. I will dig up the code.
Sharp is not word to decribe them! |

| Here are some more that just came off the wheel late last week.
This bait is 10.5 inches long and weighs 6.5 - 7 ounces. The depth range should be in the 15-20 ft range. Maybe we will get some soft water one day and i can actually test it?
The pics do the baits very little justice, with the many layers of paint.
The lip is 1/8 lexan
stainless steel wire tie.
5 coats of epoxy
1 7/16 .092 Stainless screw eyes that are epoxied in.
handpainted glass eyes
The Gamakastu hooks should be coming in soon, I cant wait to stick myself. AGAIN.

| Forgot to mention i call this bait "Bubba" for its fat body type.
The shad have 2 levels of scales its kinda hard to see.
here is the picture of the brown trout i was trying to paint. The first one turned out more blue than i wanted. The second was much better. The lateral line on the blue on is not what i expected.
The lips still need cleaned up. hope you guys dont mind.
I am about to run some gold and copper foiled baits this week. maybe i will have them finished this weekend. I am really curious how these will turn out. i likely going to paint a Natural perhc and a walleye pattern.
This body worked really well at St Clair last oct.
