Mark is welcome in my workshop anytime. I had a great time fishing too and Mark held his own I just knew where they were at. I got to use my phrase...."called it" quite a few times that day after hooking up on a fish just after I said there should be one right there! But yes the bass are crushing my balsa crankbait with circuit board lip and I would advise anyone to try making one. My first one works great, my second one works great, etc. I didn't seem to have any trouble getting them to run right.
Best of luck,
Barry
