One of my most prefered types of crankbait , made my first one about 10 years ago after a book picture and since I'm stuck on them , for that first model produced two pike around 35" at the first trials of that lure those days:) !
Lateron I did a lot of tinkering about "bananas" , and there was a lot of frustation and disappointment involved into it as well , before I finally found out about the essential features , such lures must have to perform their distinctive strong wobbling action .
Pictured lures are approx. 3" to 3 1/2" in length , my biggest "bananas" so far were approx. 5 1/2".
Lures are carved from abachewood , the hook hangers are ordinary screweyes , whereas for the linetie I use a piece of stainless wire , roughly "M-shaped", that is set into a groove and holes in the narrow lip section with 2-component glue .
Pictured lures dive down to 2 to 5 feet , most of these have already produced perch and few average pike .
