Posts: 278 Location: Finland | i thought id share couple of pics again of couple of new lures i've done, first one is a trout themed popper that one of my facebook buddies asked me to make for him. i have not made many poppers but i think this is defineatly one of nicest i've done so far. this thing is 14cm and weights around 50g the other once are basically a six sax style baits that i've actually done couple in the past but they came out back them little bit too heavy for my use but the idea lingered on and couple of weeks i was checking templates of lures i've done and this model caught my eye so i just figured that if i make it from thinner planed planks that i got from my friend this spring it might be the trick to make the weigh come down a bit. and surprisingly the action is even better than the original model i made they are 14cm and weigh 62g Attachments ---------------- IMG_3704.jpg (95KB - 342 downloads) IMG_3746.jpg (78KB - 311 downloads) IMG_3753.jpg (90KB - 334 downloads) IMG_3793.jpg (97KB - 319 downloads) | ||

Posts: 278 Location: Finland | nathan - 10/1/2012 4:18 PM Beautiful baits....Nathan hey thanks nathan though i'd share couple new pics of foiled jerkbaits i did, the shape really seems to attract fish so i thought i'd make couple more. the foiling is really hard to do on these but i think they came out pretty ok Attachments ---------------- IMG_3873.jpg (91KB - 345 downloads) IMG_3889.jpg (97KB - 344 downloads) | ||

Posts: 99 | hey solar those glitter baits are sweet. I liked them so much I tried a coulple myself on a few of my own lures. Anyway I would have never thought of doing that myself. I finished them this Monday and took them out Tuesday and they were getting tore up by the local pike including two big fish. Keep posting the lures gives us newbies something to shoot for. | ||

Keep posting the lures gives us newbies something to shoot for. thanks but i consider my self a newbie still too, after all i've been making my lures actively only about 3 and half years now, your hardly a master in anything in such a short time , give it 20 years and maybe i'll start to be in maybe average lol. but yeah glitter baits rock for pike sometimes very hard, sometimes they just ignore them. | ||

Posts: 278 Location: Finland | hey guys got few new baits to show you guys, this time i went in the tropics with my inspiration. the normal clownfish color is actually pretty good color on some really dark days and heavy overcast in general but i tough that instead of that normal fluorescent red i should do few others with fluorescent colors too. dont know about you guys but i think they turned out pretty cool. Also i had this other idea of a realistic baitfish type of trolling lure. its not too bad but i think now in retrospective i could have tweaked few parts even more.

Posts: 100 | Did you happen to film how you made the popper? I just got into making some large 10-12 inch musky size poppers and I'd love to see how you did it! Lures look amazing as usual. | ||

Posts: 559 | Great work! How does the little trolling lure run? Looks like it could be a good wandering lure. | ||
