Awesome job on it. Could use a side shot showing end to end backed off a bit. But it really looks great. Nice job.

Thanks for that side view. It really shows the whole color pattern. It even looks cooler. Very nice job. That should put a fish or 2 in the boat this spring.

Very nice job!!!

Hey Matt,
Not mad at all, you did a beautiful job and should be very proud of it.
I'll be getting to your "special blue gill" very shortly, am finally gaining some ground back on my back orders.
Also, you are far more talented than you give yourself credit for and that is always a positive sign. keep up the good work.
Later Buddy,

Sweet job Matt. I showed a couple non-musky folks in the office and they all said that they want one just to have and look at! Looks like you have found your new winter hobby....

Took it for a swim down at the river today. It should get eaten but I'm gonna make a couple small adjustments to the weight placement. Fiedler.....don't you have enough gliders? Just kidding

Matt:

How did it react in the river?  What sort of adjustments are needed as far as the weight placement goes?

The bait runs alot like a slamer drop belly. It cuts back and forth goes about a foot to each side can make it get squirley and go nuts. Drope rate is about 1 foot per sec. It looks good but I'm just trying to improve on what I have. Gonna play with the rear weight just to see what I can make it do. The one thing I have to remind myself of is that fish like gliders that do stupid things other than just glide back and forth....I don't know how many times I said this bait sucks and wham you catch a fish. Go figure
