I had some 1 1/2" thick basswood so rather than make a humongous 12" lure I cut it to 8" and decided to make something that vaguely looks like a crappie. Decided to add a plexiglass tail and employ a three position aluminum lip to access a variety of depth. One rattle chamber on a fatso crappie-like lure.

I've never made a lure with a tail before and I'm not sure if this one was a success or a failure. I need to take it out for a boat ride and see how it runs.
