Working on the sticker for the blade too. Any thoughts? Too much or just right?

Thanks guys! Didn't know if the blade art was a little too much or not. I know a lot of women fish for muskies. I guess if they buy one the sticker will fall off fast anyway. Seems all of the stickers on my Cowgirls are gone in about a day anyway. Any ideas for the colors or sizes of the components?

I of course like the big #10s and the 5/0 hooks for better hook ups. IMO these types of lures don't need the big 7/0 hooks. I only like the big hooks on baits that the sides impair the possibility of the fish getting hooked. In the last few years I have downsized some of my hooks on baits and have seen an increase in hookups. As for colors I am not sure I have a favorite. Depends on the time and situation.

JMO,
James

Just one more question and then I am going to drop this thread...

I have not seen many big double bladed bucktails with hair. Any intrest in those? The reason I ask is that the flashabou/mylar/tinsel bucktails are coming out of hte woodwork. Just trying to make something with different materials that would be of value. IMO the big blades are 90% of what brings in the big girls anyway. The tackle on these alone without the skirts is pleanty to grab some attention. Just curious.

Thanks,
James
