my brother makes trolling baits for zander that sort of look like these but are not as tall and have a "step" styled swimming lip, they were really deadly while we were doing some midnight trolling this midsummer. im sure pikes will love them too hehe -
that looks pretty dang sexy -
you mean the vise ? i know sort of a late reply sorry about that i did not notice your post anyways i have another tutorial, this time about how i foil my baits, its not very long but gets the point across i think.

made this one for a german guy who wanted me to make something special for him, i think it turned out pretty ok. -
ditto im also having the same error message when i try to post pics

i fixed up the head carvings on this last latest and greatest whatever jack pike with some glitters sprinkled under the pain layer, i have to say that this might be the most gorgeous pike i have ever made. -Mikko -
always wanted to try and make jerkbaits that have a hellhound type of "wings" so i made these babies. they came out pretty nice. -
from a online store that sells lure building materials, sadly i dont think they ship to other countries than finland. -
i think i've done one of the most beautiful baits of all of my lure building career so far. when you hold the bait in your hand it looks more beautiful than in the pictures for sure. btw if anyone is interested what kind of foil did i use its exactly the same as rapala uses in there baits the specks are: Length: 19cm/ 7.5in weight: 91g/ 3.30oz thickness: 18mm/ 0.7in More pics of this bait and others can be found from my blog http://solarfallbaits.blogspot.com/

awesome looking bait dude, very clean job with a pencil? at least looks like its done with a pencil -
made these for a dude in england who wanted me to make few of these pike jerkbaits that i have done in the past. i think i still have some tweaking with the body type but i guess its something i will be doing next time around. -mikko -
the plastic putty that i use is made by pakla its a domestic brand so im pretty sure they dont sell it over seas. like i said in the vid (or i think i did) any brand will do, its essentially the same stuff as is used in the car rapair shops just ask for polymer filler.

its done by free hand so i haven't used anything to mask it -
next time you should try if you can make a mouth and slap a real fish fin to the side and you've got a masterpiece, or a experiment horribly gone wrong lol -
cool to see that you are having such nice results on using fish skin, very inspirational stuff, I've done few of those too when i was younger, i think roach comes out the best of all the fish I've used, perch and rainbow trout are tricky since there colors seem to fade when you dry them. maybe there is a trick for that too, if there is I've yet to discover it. anyway using the real fish heads parts is really neat I'm definitely gonna try that some time too -
great foiling job there mate -
i've used a mosquito netting on that one. most guys use fabric called tulle netting so im guessing you can get that from stores that sell fabrics

very nice looking tip water baits jp;) -
your pike swim baits really are a true works of art.. that pike is like lure porn -
thanks guys they did come out pretty nice for sure. they also have a nice gliding action too, almost reminds me of a hellhound darting action. so they should work -
This must be about the hundred million time i've done one of these pikes, they still look pretty as a picture though
