9lbs lmb caught on my own 3/4 oz custom jig -
Two tone 4inch DS worm blue/clear...green/violet -
I have a pic of the jig in the Jig gallery. This little guy hit it like a 5 pounder. -
Painted with createx, nice hard shell with d2t. ready to catch fish in the spring. -
this 1/2 oz'er dove 5+ feet in my pool and seems it will go deeper. all balsa, createx and a circuit board lip -
Here is a bill i made an placed in my second crankbait. -
@surfk9 I drilled the hole in the bill..made a loop in the wire to be just slightly larger than the hole, then folded the tag end of the wire under the bill..cut the tag end. I then epoxied the bill in to the body. VOILA...that bait runs as good and as straight as any you buy in the store. I hope that helps -
Squarebill that runs perfectly -
The finished product -

Finished product runs nicely...for my 1st foray into custom crankbaits. I gopro'd it at posted the vine to my instagram account tnrbaits17. Making the hole in the bill was the vital part as far as positioning goes.

I posted this on my other social media account. It looks and swims like a champ. -
The black flake on it is the same black flake used for some of my worms. -

This is the first repaint i have done with one of my old crankbaits -
Is there some specific concoction used to strip the paint off of some of the beat up crankbaits i have....i want to revive them but m having a hard time stripping the old paint....or do i even bother stripping them and just paint over them? Rick

Well Mike....After hooking that monster Shad in the face with a Dobyns rod ( and yes it was a stout rod) .i did what any good self respecting angler would do when hunting for deep green December bucket mouths....I tossed that bait ...AS IS ON THE PIC...in hopes of nabbing monster. JFYI...I had my best day of the year that day ....i hooked into 23 largemouth..8 of which were overs, and losing a 5 to 6 lbs'er at the boat. Fishing in AZ is a tricky thing..even trickier is dealing with it while fishing in December. Hope you had a Merry Xmas also Mike Rick
