....latest model "Creature Spoon"

I've ever been wanting to try out this kinda shape of a spoon , since I had first seen similar in a tackle catalog , now I finally made it:) .

Made a few blanks , some of these I intent to paint , just finished only two of them plain polished and annealed for a darker color ,..... also applied some reflective foil and eyes .

Wanna throw them this weekend , can't wait to test'em outdoors;) .

Just two days ago I had tested the first blank in my bath tub and the action looked promising , quickly shaped some more ,........compared to other spoon models it is rather deeply cupped .

Usually a very deep cupping would cause a spoon to overturn and swim like an airfoil , just flutter up'n'down , but as it seems , the plain head portion changes the usual thing:? .

On a slow retrieve it swims a bit tail-down gently rolling and wiggling around its lengthwise axis , but when increasing pace it gets to act wilder , darting sideward a bit and almost overturning , but yet doesn't ,........I guess , that a mixture of slow and fast retrieve and or a "drop-and-jerk" retrieve pattern would have the strongest appeal:? .

The lure won't run too deep(unless letting it frequently drop to bottom) , since the plane head portion would always push it upward in the water column .
