Nice work! As hard as it is to catch a musky, it's even more rewarding to do it on a lure you created!

I started making my own hard baits this past January. Everything from 11" trolling baits down to 4" minnow baits (some bucktails, too, which are stupid easy). So far this year, they have surpassed any store bought lures I've been using for the last 10 years. It is definitely a thrill, and a extremely satisfying, catching a fish on a lure that you drew, cut, sanded, painted and tested (with a lot of trial and error). Gonna miss the pool for testing when we close it this year.

Good luck with yours!
