9" Wooden Crank Baits

Waterlogged

After learning many great tips from this site I've decided to post my first set. These are 9" Grandma-style baits. The painting was done with spray cans and is a little crude but I overall I'm happy with my rookie batch.

Most important for me is that they catch fish - muskies in particular. Because the season does not open here in WI until May 5th, I must wait patiently before I can put them into action. I will concentrate mainly on the mechanics of the bait - making sure it runs right in the water. Once I have that figured out I will work on my painting skills in hopes to raise it to the level of some of the folks on this great site.

I'm open to any comments.

Thanks all!

Consider yourself lucky, May 5th is right around the corner. Northern WI opens May 26th. Lucky for me I can fish in MI starting May 15th. Looking forward to testing some of my own lures too. Very nice lures and the paint jobs prove that rattle cans can make a mean paint job.

Crude? CRUDE?????? Your head must be "Waterlogged" man! Those are some NICE baits! My first lures were nowhere near that nice, not sure my last ones were either. Hope the muskies like them as much as I do!

The Blueberry Perch is cool,

Long live rattle cans!
