Random quote: Muskies are nasty. They stink. They taste bad. They are hard to catch and will disappoint even the most devoted angler. The lures required cost more than some women's jewelry. The rods and reels require a remortgage of the house. The boat is always worth more than the tow vehicle. Sure beats the hell out of golf.

I had some 1 1/2" thick basswood so rather than make a humongous 12" lure I cut it to 8" and decided to make something that vaguely looks like a crappie. Decided to add a plexiglass tail and employ a three position aluminum lip to access a variety of depth. One rattle chamber on a fatso crappie-like lure.

I've never made a lure with a tail before and I'm not sure if this one was a success or a failure. I need to take it out for a boat ride and see how it runs.
