I just finished my first topwater and I am very pleased with how it turned out.

Fiedler,

Looks great, that design is one of my favorite top water baits and very productive down here on the Madison chain.

Is it poplar or pine?

Very nice, tight paint job

I did kinda model it after lee's chopper but it's alot bigger profile than his, it's acualy his tail on it so I did cheat a bit but my buddy makes his own prop blades that are pretty much the same.

I made it out of bass wood and I'm hoping that it holds up good, how well does poplar turn?

thanks for the coments guys! I need to try and get a pic of my buddy's parrot colored one that he just finished, that thing looks really good!

Bait looks great, but I would be bigger hooks on it. 7-0 Mustad 3551 on the front and a 6 or 7 on the back as well.
