Posts: 1137 Location: Holly, MI | This winter promises to be a loong coold one. Stay indoors and putz with your musky gear. Better yet..Make some yourself! Here are a few that I have whipped up. I used cedar (what I had lying around)and both spray bomb enamel on some and brushed on acrylic on others. A couple have epoxy finish, others only have clear enamel so far but will get epoxy. The Yellow crank is glow paint. The black glider is weighted with lead and will barely float, I assume splitrings and hooks will make it a slow sinker. The tiny (3 inch) sunfish might be a toy. I hope they will swim, no testing yet. I'm waiting on mail from rollies with split rings, hooks, and stainless screw eyes. Come on you guys, lets see some of those home made musky lures.

Posts: 1137 Location: Holly, MI | OK.. I gave an attempt at an Upside Down paint job. It is a heavily weighted glider (barely floats), should be a slow sinker with split rings and hooks. I'm thinking about the shrink tube for the back hook to keep it straight out. I also added a couple of rattles to try them out. Hi divani. The little one is 9cm. I have no idea about its action yet. It is still waiting for an epoxy coat and the lakes are all frozen. Attachments ---------------- Upside Down Perch.jpg (138KB - 276 downloads) | ||

Posts: 1137 Location: Holly, MI | Nice offer Jomusky, but did you mean just send you pics for display? Aren't the baits on your site all for sale? I have looked at them all, some nice stuff available. Ok, I promise not to post any more new home made baits after this last pic. The walleye is supposed to be a troller but might be ok for shallow crankin' or twitchin'. The Jitterbug type was only because I couldn't not order one of the lips when I was getting the other components. Attachments ---------------- Fishing 009.jpg (133KB - 253 downloads) | ||

| I havent really had much spare time the last couple of weeks to make anything new, but I'm heading home this weekend to pick up some more stuff and make some blanks that I can hopefully work on at school. I have been working on a sunfish/crappie lure for a bit, as well as some shads, and wiley type lures. Haven't really got a good crappie pattern figured out yet. The pick is of the sunfish type lures. Also was working on similar ones that were straight, and some that are deep divers, and some that are smaller. Attachments ---------------- sunfish's 6 .75 inch.JPG (39KB - 196 downloads) | |||
