My favorite lure is all but destroyed and the guy who made it doesn't make them anymore.
I'm looking for someone that can make something comparable (if not better).
I had been planning to start building lures myself but life got in the way and I don't want to do it if I can't do it really well. I still hope to build lures in the future but it's on hold for now.

The lure is a walk the dog topwater. The wood and the weighting will be key. I don't need the lure to be duplicated but I want a similar action and noise.
I am open to a variety of sizes and color schemes. The paint jobs don't need to be elaborate (we'll talk about that later).

If anyone is interested in this, please let me know. I can send the old lure to a builder if they seem like the right fit.

Thanks,
Johnny

Let's see a picture of said lure so I can summize if I would even tackle an endevor of such magnitude. It's a bit of plagarism, but with good intentions.
Pictures please.

I evidently used the wrong choice of words. I'm sure most builders on here are more than capable of building this style lure.
The challenge would be working like someone else.
Here are the pics if I can figure out how to add them.

Thanks,
Johnny

Sorry, I can't seem to figure out adding pics.
Any advice?

Thanks,
