They look like they would have plenty of action. Scale pattern nice. Eyes , spot on. Fist bump. -
Start low on your power setting.

If you haven`t already go on E-Bay Antique Lures. Maybe you`ll find your lure on there with a bid price. Plus, there are web sites on vintage lure care.

The color got me....... Big pinchers....... Would be a great flipping/pitching bait. Fist Bump. -
Your pattern /paint scheme is almost spot on. That belongs in your man-cave. Fist bump. -
The finished product is one to be proud of. The big eye is really cool! Fist bump! -
Hi-5 ! -
As usual your offerings are spot on. Color/patterns /eye selection combined delivers. I was thinking. If you put any one of those groups on a stringer and hung them in your man cave ..... that would look really cool! One other observation......middle fish in the pic above. No red eye. Hi-5! -
That puppy looks like it has a little weight. If so, would be great for schoolers as you could cast it a country mile. Nice.......... -
Any time you start with nothing and end up with something....... deserves props. -
10 lbs 12 oz. Hope you put her back. Hi-5. -
Whoa! Those are wicked. Rattle snake looking. Red eyes. All of your presentations are really outstanding. Hi-5 ...................... -
A cornucopia of colors........... Plus, some cool rocks. Fist bump. -
I have to ask, at the point where the reel stops.......the line is not jammed down into the winds is it ? On my comments. I`m not trying to be nasty , just straight forward.
-
I assume the problem was the reason you greased /oiled what ever that 5500c. You said, "it stops at a certain point...." same place all the time ? if yes, you might try the following. If I had that reel I`d fix it other wise my comments are a guess. Remove the pawl from line guide assembly. What that does is remove the pawl from making contact with the worm shaft. Some time there is a skin watcher under the pawl cap. watch for that. Some time! Make a cast and see if that thing still stops at a certain place. If the problem still exists , I`d say there is an internal problem. Go to U-Tube for a tutorial on tear down. If the problem has been corrected, I`d say either your pawl or worm gear is bad . In some cases ...both. Accessing a problem after some one has worked on the reel is never good. Meaning if you were good at reel work you would have fixed this thing. Hope my "possible" corrective action helps get your reel problem corrected

It has a quiet look. Not gaudy . The eye is perfect ! The touch of red on the gill plate helps accent the area. That pattern in a Rattle trap would be killer. IMO of course. Very nice. -
Really like the trans lucent look . The look and the color tones go well together. That red one would look great skinning over big dollar pads. -
I`m a top water guy. Your presentation with off set hooks, redish eyes , double props in the rear (different) and paint makes for one cool TW lure. Fist bump. -
Everything right on target. Fist Bump. -
I love colors! Fist bump. -
Bone Glow Swimbait
Braided Line commented on gekhang's gallery image in Best Custom Painted Hardbait
Your top presentation (coco brown ?) swim bait is certainly one of a kind. In so far as the paint scheme goes. Perfect eye as well. You can look al through these pages and will not see anything close to that. Nice accent of your gill plate area. Hi-5. -
Need help finding the spine!!
Braided Line replied to jbrandon47's topic in Rod & Reel building & repair
Do a search on :Find the spine on a rod blank. There are several links to your answer. -
5 inch hand carved articulared waking topwater rat bait.
Braided Line commented on NorCal Coho's gallery image in Best Homemade Hardbait
Hi-5 . Nothing more needs to be said. I`d have gone with a longer shank treble hook set-up though. But that`s just me. -
Way harder than you think! Can be done of course but it takes a lot of trail and failure before you end up with something .......nice. Many steps from start to finish. Give U-Tube a look see might find a tutorial (audio/visual) on the subject. I`ve been at it for the better part of 50 yrs . Best part is I`ve made a couple of $$ building and re-furbishing rods . If you know somebody who does rod work... nothing like some OJT> There are other guys on here who do rod work I`m sure they`ll chime in with their suggestions. If all else fails, maybe your wife knows something!
