Random quote: After about a half-mile the fella stopped and stooped over, with his hands on his thigh's to catch his breath, and the Game Warden finally caught up to him."Let's see yer fishin' license, boy," the Warden gasped.

I had some 1 1/2" thick basswood so rather than make a humongous 12" lure I cut it to 8" and decided to make something that vaguely looks like a crappie. Decided to add a plexiglass tail and employ a three position aluminum lip to access a variety of depth. One rattle chamber on a fatso crappie-like lure.

I've never made a lure with a tail before and I'm not sure if this one was a success or a failure. I need to take it out for a boat ride and see how it runs.
