This bait was by far my favorite build so far. These huge baits take many more hours to finish, but I'll for sure be making more!

Thanks! I wanted to really beef up the hardware on these big baits. Pinning in a 3/8 inch Lexan lip just seemed like the right thing to do

Yep, it's a hand carved wooden bait. It's mostly carved out in a vise with a 1" chisel. I had in my mind while carving this one to make some body shape and leave curves where the fins would be.

Thanks! It floats/dives quick, and THUMPS like a jackhammer when it's down there. I had it around 14-16 feet.

Beautiful art work. How about calling it the Georgian Beast?

Thanks! The line tie is made from two stainless steel wires (.041") tightly twisted together.
If this one finds its way to the bay I think that name would suffice!
