Lathe-turned blanks

Turned these two out of a lightwood broom handle and after sanded the rear portion of the round spindle-shaped blanks to their unsymetrical shape .

The smaller deep diver is about 2 1/2" in length(without lip) , the other one a bit more than 3" .

I find the outer shape of the longer lure just ugly somehow !

I even had doubt , whether this lure shape would provide good action at all , but during my bath tub tests prior to painting it did !

Only balanced the lures with some lead sheet pieces glued into the belly slot accomodating the internal wire harness , so the bigger lure turned out to be very buoyant , won't dive that deep , I suppose .

I am pretty much satisfied with the smaller crankbait , a proven shape anyway , it features a tight wobble of a high frequency , almost kinda vibrating .

Thanks to the guys here on TU that have encouraged me with their work to try out this certain lip/wireharness configuration for deep diving lures , it really took me further !

Both lures are rattlecan painted and covered with glitter jelly before topcoating .
