You should be its awesome

thanks...

Are we to believe that you carved this lure, then painted this pattern? Please clarify if you would. Thanks,

Douglas

Hey Douglas, I carved and weigted it with lead and epoxy puddy and then foiled and painted it. The carving is based off another lure I have.. Its the same pattern I used on my foiled jerkbaits posted on here

If you want a few of the carved wood blanks I can sell you a few

part of the gill on this one is also epoxy puddy because it has a chip out of it

The shiner pattern is what I meant is the same pattern as my jerkbait

Thanks Clint..

Wait until you see some of the 7 1/2 inch wood lures I'm working on.

Bruce you are a carving machine! Nice work on the photofinishing and blending, and good luck with your business. Thanks,

Douglas

Thanks Douglas

Does anyone know how to make a wood bait suspending? I've tried and can only make slow sinking or floating

Superb!

:-)

nice bait bruce,to get them to suspend take a floating bait with no lead in it and wrap thin lead wire around the hooks till it sits with the back just below the surface without sinking or rising very very slowlythen unwrap the wire and weigh it on a scale(you can buy one at hfright for 10 bucks)

melt the lead and pour into a belly weigh mold drill holes to slip weights into and epoxy over them the bait should then suspend when you crank it down or rise so slow that twitching the rod will keep it in place and you also know how much it should take on the next one becouse you weighed the lead on this one

Thanks crankbait.. I will try to make one of my 7 1/2 inchers a suspending
