More First Adventures In Foiling

Here are three more first attempts on foiling lures .

The aluminium tape also has some netting mesh stuck underneath to achieve the scale pattern .

The little "chunky" looking bait has been turned on a lathe and afterwards the flanks were cut flat and tapered towards the rear .

Has a 1/2 ounce ballast weight located between lip and belly hook , but is still quite buoyant . Approx. 3 1/2" in length .

The other two baits are carved from abachewood and sport an internal wire harness and "Finnish style" saddle lips , they are 4" in length without lip .

I have estimated the ballast and glued in some roofing lead sheet together with the harness , so they hang quite deep on the surface at rest , but even with a wire leader attached they would not sink !

Tested all of them in my bathroom prior to painting with rattle cans , they all do work to my satisfaction :).

I always admire you guys that can get that type of work out of rattle cans. I tried them a few times and I never had baits come out as nice as yours.

I love the top one with that dash of red/orange near the tail end.
