My first post

Welcome to the board. Nice looking hybrid, solid color combo. You guys grow some big pike over there.

Welcome aboard , Matt:yay: , ............always been wondering , whether such attached grub's tail would not possibly disturb or constantly alter the wobbling action of a lipped lure:? ?

But obviously not , if a 22 pounder found it worth a bite;) !

What kinda metal did you use for the lip ?

Nicely designed lure:yes: , ........greetz:yay: , diemai

Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome lads

@ Diemai

This lure was my invention and how I designed it in my head to what I actually got was 2 very different things!

This is a big lure and has a 'Kalin Big N' tail and is in between the standard and the mag dawg as a size guide for you. I actually wanted the body to wiggle and the curly tail to work its stuff to give me something a bit different. What I actually got was lure body that is almost completely damped by the tail. It has a very subtle body movement which is regular. The one thing I liked about the lure was its ability to dive on a short line and with it working in the tail wash when I am trolling has given me some memorable days. I realised that I needed to have the body seperated by a split ring to get the action I was trying to achieve in the first place but the pike seem to like it so what odds!

I used a bit of galvanised 20swg mild steel for the lip which I have plenty of access too, I have used it on a number of crankbaits now and it also doesn't put the fish off.

Very nice Matt, good luck with the new colours.pete
