Here's a recent lure I've finished, A Yellow Perch hand carve.

I've probably looked at 20 or 30 thousand baits in the last 10 years or so.

This is, hands down, one of the top 2 or 3 I have ever seen.

I cannot believe you're going to take that beautiful thing and hurl at a creature with the temperament of a muskellunge!

Outstanding artistry from the nose to the tail and the back to the belly, Douglas.

:yay:

Simply stunning. Nuff said.

Okay I'll say a couple things. Aesthetically from the proportions to the colors and then the finish, it's beautiful. A well balanced piece of work. This may be a little weird but it looks healthy. Sometimes you catch a fish and it just doesn't look fresh/healthy, this thing looks fresh. The fact that I'm comparing it to a real fish is testament to your work.

Is that a single hook off the back side?

How does she swim? Curious if the dorsal fin causes problems.

Thanks guys, I really just have fun doing this kind of thing. To answer your question Bob ,yes that is a siwash hook on the rear, I prefer the way it swims with one. It does dive right away with the lip /line tie configuration used, dives to around 6 feet with a nice tight wobble. The dorsal fin actually acts as a roll damper on the Z axis.
