Location: Milwaukee,Wi		Hand carved head and mouth, plus stainless teeth! Foiled, painted plus a dorsal fin!! I'm sure any minute now those fine young men in their white suit's will be coming to take me away!!! Great, I'll have more time to work on lures!!!

Location: Minnesota		That really looks like you took a baby walleye and made it into a lure. That is one of the better baits I have seen on this board. Lets see the Chinese copy that one! lol

Its very nice but when you start putting the fins on like that you would be better off making them a fish decoy. Or just a display model..which it's nice enough to be.

Location: Milwaukee,Wi		Guest,
You are right about the dorsal fin ,it was my first shot at shaping polycarbonate and I thought I would throw it on. Also, not needed would be the teeth!!! Just having some fun.

Location: Muskoka Ontario,Canada		It's hard to know where to stop once you get started eh Rowhunter? lol
Looks amazing of course and the fin is very,very well done. You should definitely get into doing decoys as that's really a better catagory for this level of craftsmanship.

Actually the eyes are small northern eyes that I fogged over with some white pearl.(Maybe too much) It's all just a learning process!

Location: Minnesota		My eBay est. for that lure would be in the $50-$100 and I would not be shocked to see it go for over $100. Not sure the time it took but I am sure you would not get your moneys worth out of the lure. I know I would be bidding on it though!!!

I suggest putting it on
