I fish quite a bit here in souther georgian bay ontario. Though there is muskie caught here and there(and some huge ones) i have never caught one out of the bay, but i keep trying. I only caught 1 musky in a small lake about 6 pounds. PIke on the other hand are pretty plentiful and some very nice ones get caught every year by us. I had a bunch of lures that the paint was half chipped off and they would no longer run proper so i finished the chipping and started planning some patterns that i though would get me some huge pike through reaction strikes.
Rapala Magnum CD-14 Starburst
Rapala Husky Jerk HJ-10 Tiger Stripe
Rapala J-13 Bee Corkscrew
UNknown 5" Crank
CC Ripplin Redfin
Bomber Long A
CC Ripplin Redfin Orange Tiger
Rapala HJ-14 Orange Tiger X2
I also got into making custom bucktail spinnerbaits in the 1 1/2 - 2 1/2oz weights. For these i used powder paints and vinyl paints/spraypaints for the blades.
1 1/2oz Rising Sun:
2oz Green Flame:
2 1/2 oz Zebra: (didnt get around to doing bucktail yet)

Looking Good! What did you use for a topcoat on the Cranks?
Thanks for the comments! I used 2 coats of Envirotex Lite on the lures...more durable than the factory finishes, but i am looking for a tougher finish.

Very nice job. I like how the colors really stand out. I really like the jaobird look. And that first lure is a very creative pattern that I really like.
Awesome job and thanks for sharring your talents with us!!! Bring on some more pics. I never get tired of looking at this part of the forum.!!!
