Couple more...hope you like 'em.

Cut from western red cedar, lightly weighted. Bent lexan lip keeps it running about 12 to 18 inches deep for fishing over submerged weeds.

Also finished this 6 inch Fatfingers Stubbydude. This one is carved from sintra signboard material and can be both cast and trolled. I've had excellent luck with this lip/body configuration as far as producing muskies on the waters.

Vince. Now that's nice!! Where do I mail the check to for both baits. Good job on bending that lip. Gill plates look great. Jerry

Thanks, guys. You probably can't tell from the pictures but I used a different thickness of Lexan compared to what I normally used. On smaller baits, for bass or walleye, etc., I usually use stuff that is approximately 1/16 inch thick. On musky stuff, I usually use Lexan that is about 1/8 inch thick.

For these, I used some stuff that is about 3/32, sort of in between. Now I know those numbers are probably not accurate because I believe the stuff comes in hundredths of an inch, but you get the idea.

Anyway, the 3/32 stuff on these 6 inch baits seems to impart a tighter wiggle or wobble compared to the 1/8 inch stuff, sort of the same effect you get by using metal lips on baits.

I like experimenting with different lip styles, shapes, angles, etc. It is fun to see what you can do with that variable on a given bait configuration.
