| I know I should be focusing on my orders for custom 9.5” versions, but knowing myself I guess that’s why I said they’d be done by spring lol. Since releasing the Molly Diver and talking to people at the expo, there seems to be interest in a smaller version. Realizing I do fish nearby lakes with shad and almost every year we have a musky take a swipe at small panfish up north, I thought I’d play around with the design a little. I think I like the idea. It should have multi species benefits and the kids can chuck it too. How does it look?

| New proto’s are working great; I’m really liking these. Need to splash some color on some now. Attachments ---------------- Molly Diver 5,75b (Copy).JPG (61KB - 124 downloads) Molly Diver 5,75 (Copy).jpg (66KB - 146 downloads) | |||

Posts: 4266 | I love it. 5.5" is a great size because the measurement from belly to top makes it appear both big and small at the same time depending on the angle. I'd throw that anywhere. That program you use is awesome. I used my special program just last week to make some Threadfin Shad cranks that can be used from down South to Green Bay and even North using blugill, rockbass and perch paint jobs instead. My program consisted of Googling Threadfin Shad images, finding one that I could increase to 7" and then tracing it on parchment paper and then tracing that onto a piece of 2x2 Mahogany. Good looking stuff Mark. If you ever need anyone to paint a few dozen let me know  Beav | ||

| I painted up some of the proto’s. Since the bait is only 5.75” long I figured I needed to learn how to do a bluegill pattern. The pics show how they turned out. Next I need to figure out a shad pattern. I think those may be the only two patterns I’ll offer at first when I release these. My available build time is lessening with a large outside of the house honey-do list looming. The fishing season is approaching fast too. So much to do and so little time…
