Wow........love the color scheme, especially the far left. Will probably use that color on my next paint (or attempt !!!) Thanks, great job. -
Great Colors ........should be a winner!!! What is the body type,,,???? -
Thanks for the replies.....the bodies (which i've yet to purchase) are approximately 2 1/2 - 2 3/4 inches in a bluegill shape. Believe I'll have a go at both methods..see which works to my satisfaction...thanks again, surfk9

Gentleman..have a question about balsa bodies...i've made my own bodies (pine, basswood,redwood,poplar & oak) but am considering purchasing pre-shaped balsa bodies.....can i use screw eyes or do I need to split them in half and thru wire them...seems like it would be kind of sketchy cutting a pre shaped body in half ...any suggestions???Thanks surfk9

Very Nice..........wouldn't mind having either of these in my spinnerbait arsenal.......really like the incorporation of the saddle with the living rubber.....great color combo's....i'm mostly in the hardbait haunts, but can appreciate dedication and nice baits anywhere. surfk9 -
Wow ....outside the box again.love the "crackle" but the "eyes" have it !!! will have to borrow your idea, so simple but sometimes we just don't see the obvious. -
Like the body shape of these current three you've posted.....the color scheme on this bad boy is off the chart....... -
Hey guys...is Pledge w/ FUTURE SHINE premium floor polish what I want??? Pricey stuff $10 @ CVS for 27 oz. guess it will last a small lifetime ....hopefully it will benefit my painting....it could use some help at times thanks surfk9

Not quite sure of the correct nomenclature for the bar at the bottom of a page that allows for left/right movement of the text, but I haven't had the pleasure of that bar the last few times i've logged on...makes it difficult to read post not being able to see the right side. any suggestions??? (it doesn't happen on any other site)

Like the color scheme....i"m a "hard bait " type ....but do throw jigs when the going gets tough....great job!!!! -
Have been admiring your work for as long as i've been on board.......first written comment.......JR.you are out there!!!!...great detail can't help but be envious. Thanks for the inspiration!!! -
Hey Bob guess I'll have to check out the brite-back....i've used the aluminum tape on my larger cranks(4-5 inchers) and on some jointed baits (up to 10")thanks for the heads up!!!!! surfk9

I've bought foil tape in 2inch & 4inch rolls at Home Depot....most stores of that nature would probably carry something similar usually in the plumbing/sheet metal dept's.

I would suggest that you use the 30 minute...gives more working time. I doubt that you could do anything with 5 minute,except set line ties, hook eyes, etc. As for the DA i feel it's a personal thing that you will discover for yourself.i've done it both ways,with/without...using DA allows for a somewhat easier "flow" but again it comes down to personal choice depending on lure size ambient room temp etc. good luck!

Like your bait..just curious...do you "weight" your lure horizontally or vertical??? with so may segments where do you weight? thanks surfk9 -
i agree with stryker & diemai, black seems to work best for me.....a few months back i posted a pic of a "tweety-http://www.tackleunderground.com/community/gallery/image/6605-tweety-pop/

i don't normally go lookin' thru the wire bait gallery (tend to be a hard bait guy) but this is one sick spinnerbait i'd be buying them off the shelf if i could find them ...great color scheme. great bait. california surfk9 -
like the colors........just curious what is the lure made from wood or pvc? -
pretty cool baits diemai. i especially like the perch bait. -
Thanks Diemai , it is a free swinging joint....connected with stainless screw eyes. the rear joint does "knock" pretty good... can't wait for that first blow-up!!! surfk9 -
