Random quote: Muskies are nasty. They stink. They taste bad. They are hard to catch and will disappoint even the most devoted angler. The lures required cost more than some women's jewelry. The rods and reels require a remortgage of the house. The boat is always worth more than the tow vehicle. Sure beats the hell out of golf.

I haven't posted pix before so I hope this works. The bigger ones in the top pic are about six inches long- he coins are actually caps for the rattle chambers I out in them. I wanted it to sound metallic and loud. The smaller ones are only about four inches long. Some day I'll invest in an air brush. I wasn't even going to post because there are some real talented folks on here but thought I may as well get a few opinions. Thanks- Erik

I guess it's tough to post pix from an iPhone. The links should get you there though.

Pretty cool, Nice paint patterns. What did you use for the rattle chambers (metal tube/BB's)?

Nice

Very nice, I like them. Great patterns. I really like the bluegill/sunfish. How big are they?

Thanks - the rattle chambers are 3/4 copper with about 10-20 BB's inside. The nickels are superglued on to seal and then covered in epoxy. I messed up and didn't seal the top crappie well enough and the E-Tex got in and messed up the rattle. Obviously this isn't a serious attempt at anything good, just fun to mess around with. I have a few other 18-24 inch crank baits that I may post some pix of. Its a bit intimidating though, you guys are true artists - I'm a musky-holic that needs a diversion to get him through the winter...

PSV - Thanks for blowing the pix up for me!
