bassnattractin Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 so is that a topwater bait like a super spook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Paul, This lure was built following the same process that Lincoya outlined below. Bass, The lure will have a short bill on it and the slot is at 60 degrees. It is designed to be fished like a jerk-bait...shallow runner. jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Brush Posted February 21, 2004 Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Nice bait jed I like the shad style shapes your shop is putting out. The photo finish process that you and Gene are perfecting looks awesome! Have you thought about trying it with transparent decal sheets you can print out? Micro-Mark has transparent water slide decals you can print off your desktop printer. http://www.micro-mark.com/ Item#82272 I thought about getting some for signatures and intricate mackeral stripes. Also testers makes a "kit" that is for sale in walmart. It doesnt say how many decal sheets you get for 7.95 in the box but it only looks like a half a page. Have you worked with either of them?

RiverMan Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Thanks for the compliments Shawn. Several months ago I bought the kit you are talking about in Wal-Mart for printing out my company name on floats I was making. I have most of the kit around here somewhere, will have to see if I can dig it out. If I recall there are only 2 or 3 sheets in the box which would make things a bit spendy. Also the stuff wasn't sticky at all, had to glue it in place on the wooden floats I was building at that time. I will give it a try tho and see what happens, thx for the suggestion. Enjoy the wknd! jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted February 22, 2004 Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 How much does it weigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted February 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2004 Siebler, I don't have a scale and so have no idea what it weighs; I am guessing tho that I put a bit less than 1/2 ounce of lead into the body to adjust the balast. I know there is going to be a whole bunch of river smallmouth that want to eat it in about two months, lol, son! Jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
