| Since the previous post was getting into a direction that was more about ego's than enjoying baits I am opening this new topic. I can only hope that this topic will be experienced the way I intended it in the first place. In the previous topic I posted that the muskie bait was going to be a crankbait. I have asked Tim to send me some pictures, so me and you guys can see the progress of this bait, so.....here is the bait with a bill. It isn't finished yet but you will get a good idea how it will turn out. I really like the fact that the nice carving is being obtained even though the bill has been installed. Since it is a 18 inch lure it is more than fishable. I asked if Tim already gave it a test run and he did. Said that it run like a crankbait should run. But for those who like to collect beautiful baits more than fish it will be fine to. I guess it will be up to the fisherman/collector, personally I say....fish it......

Posts: 137 | Nice looking bait, but can you count it as a follow each time you get the lure near the boat? I think it is pretty, but the crappie that was on ebay a couple of weeks ago was the best Novak bait I've seen yet, imo. Beautiful looking crappie. Hey pointerpride, you wanna see a big bait? Okay, it's only twelve inches long.....but it is four inches tall and 2 inches thick. And it is a working one of a kind giant ss shad! I bought it at Chicago two years ago from Kyle Marsanick of Smoker Tackle, and though it was only a display model, I got some pointers about where the regular ss shads are weighted and set about making it a working lure. After ten ounces of weight strategically placed and some touch up painting, it works just like a normal ss shad. Except that it moves about as much water as a beaver! Awesome lure and as big as anyone would ever need. SS shads are one of the best lures out there, but this one is the bomb. LIterally.
