old time style

I have uploaded this lure here already months ago as a blank , just to show , how I furnish the line tie arrangement on such a kind of cranks .

Well , at my "snail's pace" I finally got done with it:huh: , I had to embed a 1/4 ounce weight behind the belly hook hanger to stabilize its wobbling action .

On my first test yesterday I have found , that on BOTH toweyes it dives about equally deep (1 to 2 1/2 feet) , but on the lower eye its "snakelike" wiggle is real tight , whereas attached to the top eye it runs with a very pronounced wobble and tail shake:yes: .

I have decided to brush-paint that lure with modelmaking enamels , since I had to care about not applying too much paint onto the bib , since the toweyes turned out not to potrude too much , couldn't mask them for spraying .

By brushing , I've thought , that I would just have a better control about paint amounts on certain spots;) .
