I love it. -
I use a continuous ten foot by 14 inch ribbon of the material. It fits on a jig that mounts ten lures at a time for faster painting.

Start selling at fishing flea markets/shows.

Beautiful. -
Saw the video. Sweet. -
Really nice. How's the action?
-
That's a right purty lure. -
This is my own design from eastern red cedar. It swims just below the surface on a slow retrieve, with a slow side to side S curve. Dives deeper on a faster retrieve. Acrylic airbrushed paints. Yellow base, lime green pearl, black ladder pattern under blue pearl scales. Etex clear. -

Thank you. -
It's weighted, really nice popping action.

I like this one. If you don't mind my saying, the eye socket will come out much smoother if you drill a shallow hole with a forstner bit the size of the eye, then use a larger round ball burr to get a smooth socket. The only catch is that you need a drill press. -

Spun this one up to see if it would work. Got the idea from an e-book. Tested great. -
Interesting. I use these motors a lot. Thanks for the idea!

Splitting the feather was the easy part! I'm not used to such small hooks. It's a lot harder to tie them than I thought.

ddl, I was using it on bucktail jig heads. I think Nathan has an excellent suggestion for using it on lures. Mix it in some polycrylic and apply with a brush, then top coat.

This should take care of the lathe tools: https://www.harborfreight.com/wood-lathe-turning-tool-kit-8-pc-62674.html This is where I found my ball burrs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006KVG8FO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006KVFBJ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I paid $36 and $23 at the time, they are now $31 and $12. Looks like I'm ordering a spare set!
