Random quote: After about a half-mile the fella stopped and stooped over, with his hands on his thigh's to catch his breath, and the Game Warden finally caught up to him."Let's see yer fishin' license, boy," the Warden gasped.

Location: Moses Lake, WA		This lure started out as a simple carp imitation, but for the home hobby enthusiast the road to Carpsville is fraught with detours, exits, and off ramps. I seem to have been diverted by all of the above in making this 12" basswood lure with one rattle chamber and plastic lip.

Another cool looking bait! Lots of details. Looking forward to owning one of your baits when I get my Musky Mission Complete delivery.

Location: PA Angler		Got a couple they look great the pics don’t do it. Why the change to plastic lip.

Location: Moses Lake, WA		No particular reason, if I get a little sloppy in cutting the lip slot the 1/8" aluminum is "too floppy" so I'll go with 3/16" lucite. This is just a home hobby so it's not a precision operation. I personally prefer the three position aluminum lips because they give the lure more options for finding an optimal pull position/trolling speed that allows the lures to hunt. I wish all my lures would hunt but that's just not the case. I guess if I sold lures I would have to be more attentive to detail, but I don't. Everything gets donated to this or that charity auction to raise money for various causes.
