Here's some pics of my first two muskie lures. They are both shallow divers and have a nice wide wobble to them. The 6" has some great action as a wake bait when reeled at a slower pace. They are poplar with a propionate sealer, createx paints, and 3 coats of e-tex (I'm thinking of adding two more coats of e-tex). They have irridescent white sides (fine scale pattern on the 6" if you look closely), silver metallic scale on the back and a blue/green/black pearl head. I know it's a strange color combo, but I have had alot of success on white lately with the trout and bass. I painted a 2" Pin's Minnow in this exact pattern and the trout had been killing it...until I lost it. I was test casting them in my pond on Saturday and I caught two nice chain pickerel on the 6"- one was 30" and the other was 25". Hopefully the river muskies around here will like them just as much!
