Lets see everyone's best lure that they have made! I'm interested to see how everyone's baits turn out.

I am a very crude, once in a while, jerkbait-maker. Each one I make is different. I use can spray paint.
I am nowhere near the league of most anyone on here. Some real artists here!!
But my lures do work or I don't paint them.
First time sharing......

Best ??? Well, that depends on your definition........
*First pic is my favorite "looking" baits I've made.
*2nd pic is a few that have actually caught me multiple fish. "Best in my book"

Don't sell yourself short buddy. I think you did a great job on those baits.

No doubt.
Can't argue with the chew mark results on those longer ones.

Haven't taken many pictures of past creations but here's one I recently finished for a buddy.

Dude !! That is one Beautiful bucktail. and a lucky friend.
I don't subscribe to "too pretty to throw"... but that one comes close.

Tuff ta see in the pic but it's keel weighted with a white/cream belly, full race treble hooks, and a special matched set of split rings. Kidding with the Days of Thunder reference but the keel weight & white belly is trooooo.
Oh, and I spar varnished the blades for non-chipping/colour lasting goodness.

This was one of my first designs. I have made lots of them in several different iterations. In June through August in my area they produce tons of fish (although these are not exclusively musky baits, obviously). Still, they are one of my favorite.
