Enlarged version of a Finnish trout/salmon lure
A crankbait made after some smaller lures , that my Finnish friend Jio has sent to me about two years ago .
It is carved out of abachewood , about 4" in length(without lip) , has a belly trim weight and runs at about 4 to 5 feet with a nice , attractive wiggle .
The original lures from Finland(also homemade)have an angled plastic lip set in , in a way like on the "Rapala Super Shad Rap" .
Since I don't have access to such readymade lips , I have thought about the shown lip design of aluminium sheet .
Not much of a good look , but quite versatile in terms of bending to tune the lure .
I like such aluminium lips , and they don't cost anything for me , I get the sheets from the scrapyard of my work;) .
