Various Hardbaits

This one is great, i like the eyes and the discrete yellow design.

I have 2 questions if it's not a secret :

- what kind of action it has?

-what depth it reaches?

I saw that this model is used by a lot of guys around here

Looks great, nice work Bob!

IMO a great job!! do you use a pen or airbrush on the gill's?? if ya don't mind me asking. i am just a beginner and haven't finished my first lure. the gill is next and i am nervous about messing up the work i have already done.

This was made from basswood and weighs about 3/4 oz. Haven't fished it much but it seems to have decent thump. I patterned the body after a LC deep diver and the bill after a Rapala DT-16. Yes, the gill is a Sharpie pen, which I've lately dropped in favor of a stencil and acrylic for a neater appearance. I can't shoot symetrical gills freehand, and don't believe many others can either!

What colors did you use? I would like to make some baits with the good looking bone color with a little chart or yellow in it. It looks great!

thanks for the answer on painting the gill. i've ask several people and you are the only one to help me. I looked at the other lures and you do great work

He does excellent work, I won the '73 Classic on one of his designs
