Curious on if anyone is making anything new this year to try out.

I have quite a few projects to try out now that we are getting open water finally in the Northland.

* had my own globe blade design made in quantity finally so going to get a batch going
* made a wood turned Swim Whizz style crank
* have a new WTD and Tail Prop (with a big tail rotor)
* a new shad style crank aimed at shallow rock fishing
* have a few new bucktails
* a new buzzbait im especially excited to try
* some hand made big flaptail blades

I think i like tinkering almost as much as fishing now

Yep! Got several new style baits I've been working on. Here's a bighead carp deep diver I made for my dad's birthday. Also a half-painted super detailed brook trout glider I'm working on.

7” dive and rise Riverhawk is in the works
6” solid cedar back-lipped swim bait
6” mega flaptail
6” slimmed down cedar glider
2.5” trout glider
12” dive and rise Riverhawk

So yeah, a few new things I’m tinkering with.
RJ, how big are your flaptail blades you’ve made?

That’s awesome! Thanks for the pic. Might try that myself. Need a BIG one for what I’m working on.
