no its not the honey b. i repainted and cleaned it up so i don't know how well a pic would help but on the bottom it said "lil honey" and it is a killer for sure when they want something small around here (5", 6.5"w/ lip). its a deeper diving plug and a flat shad profile w/ thinner tail. never seen one before or since and it is made of really light cedar and is wire though. thanks for your time so far and if i didn't lend it out to a friend to fish w/ this weekend i would post a pic.

i agree it does resemble a a big m but most baits these days are done from the same design as another.. but the big m wont float or run like that one would if its made out of cedar

Hey Zach2626.

I made the 'Lil Honey' baits several years ago. Also made the "Alleycat". I am no longer making lures due to limited free time. The wife, 2 kids, a fulltime job and a muskie addiction keep me busy. Glad to hear you done well on the bait!

cliff, thanks for your response. i had the epoxy lift so that was the only reason i tried to repaint it. very well balanced bait and i wish you made more of them. they do well on smaller lakes and at tough times.
ps. i don't fish big m's, only wood baits here!

Mr Honeycutt, is there anyway i can ask you a few questions about that bait? i want to p/m you but as a guest that doesn't work. the questions i have pertain to the "lil hony and alley cats". zach baker ( [email protected] if that would be easier
