| I had some requests to show some pics of some of my first lures,
these were some of my first ones I made in the early to mid 90's, high school day's, and are still very important go-to lures for me to this day, these ones have been through alot, boy, it's been a long time.

| I'd say you were a born natural! Is the weld on the front O-ring of the globes (or all of them for that matter) welded/soldered shut? |

| All of my ring's or loops are soldered shut, I use very ridgid wire .063 or .072 , it's not easy to loop hvy wire, hard on the hands, some people worry about soldered loops & such, personally, I've never had a problem, and almost all of these pictured have caught trophy class fish, especially the black globe, and a couple of the TD's have seen their share of teeth too.
Thanks-Ryan |

| The screw sticking out the is what makes my flaptails "different" than what your used to, by placeing the screw where it is, the flaptail piece pivots on that screw while coming through the water giving it a clink,clink,clink sound that is constant, almost reminds me of a Tap Dancer, just more subtle, and you have the option of retrieving it slow or somewhat fast, in normal flaptail fashion, you don't get much noise, and if you speed up the lure burns out, the screw on mine won't let the tail burn out, it's really become one of my go to's, as well as a confidence bait.
