Craw

Speechless bud! That is killer. How much dremel time do you have in that joker...

That is outstanding work! Very realistic! Hope you'll post some photos of a few of the HUNDREDS of fish you'll catch with that little guy.

Absolutely great carving and painting craftwork:yes: !

:oooh::oooh::oooh: that is some awsome carving skills

Now that is what I call a craw bait. Wow!

great!i want it!

Thx for enjoying the lure fellas. Re: time, it took much longer to locate decent anatomical pics of craws than it did to draw, carve and paint. Used a combo of micro knives, skew & bevel chisels, and foredom to carve it.

The latest version(s) has several improvements to the shape. Thx again.

Over the top Kelly!!!!!!

Sweet!

how did you do the eyes on this beauty?

Milia, that's a good question with a very simple answer: round head push pins/ needle,.... inexpensive, durable, and effective. Create a round socket using a rounded burr of the same diameter, clip the needle in 1/2 w/ wire cutters, paint the eye (if needed), push the pin into the socket at the correct angle= craw eye, piece of cake...good luck.

Finding a flexible, durable, & textured material to serve as antennae was a challenge however.
