Well , not quite anymore , it's past midnight:( !

For the three lures pictured here I employed a different construction method , that I didn't use before , but that appeared to be quite easy to me .

The lures are made of halfround pinewood dowels , that are glued together with waterproof wood glue and a throughwire-harness set in before .

For symetrical shaping and bonding , the two halves have been screwed together , also temporary pinned together with toothpicks through the screwholes , when the screws disturbed the sanding of the flanks .

After glueing together , the screwholes were also closed with toothpicks .

The wireharness of the two jerkbaits is placed towards the back portion of the lure to gain space on its belly side for the weights fore and aft , that let them sink level and make them to perform a nice glide action side to side .

I really like the top water bait looks great.

Tip: You may already know this one but, if you take a piece of electrical heat shrink and run your back screw eye,split ring, and hook eye thru it, heat it with a lighter to shrink it. It will hold your back hook straight back and it will never interfear with the back blade.
