Location: canada | Hi Guys
Thought I'd show you my new top water frogs. 062 stainless wire shafts with buzz blades for legs, 3/0 trebles at the end and a 5/0 belly treble. Hope you like them.
Thanks
Etch

They are really beautiful baits. |

They are pretty baits for sure, but it looked like in the videa it is running to the side, can't tell, wish we had one with a straight retrieve to it.
Why would any bait go on your "Wall of Fame" that doesn't get fished? What's that all about?

I build baits. I can build anything on the market. I usually keep those given to me by my builder friends, especially well-done customs. That's what thats all about.

thanxs for the kind words guys means alot, and first six, it must be the video that makes it look funky coming in, my little guy was doing the filming off to the side, ( i thought he did a great job) will try to get a straight on vid ,after months of testing protos, trust me he comes in sweet every time, thanxs

| It might just be the retrieve, but it also appears by the ripples, that it was shot in flowing water. I was curious about it
because looking at the baits, without a direct overhead shot, it appears that the buzz bait/legs come out of the bait
from an angle, and do not track parallel to the vertical axis of the bait? Am I seeing that correctly? |

Location: canada | yes you are correct on both observations, flowing water, and the legs are at a down ward angle, with a clock and counter clock wise blade, ass weighted, to sit like a real frog, only the the head sticks out of the water while at rest, then you pop/ jerk retrive it back in, or you could just crank it back in.

They look very good. I have several of his lures. High quality and they run true.
Keep the pictures coming.
