toadfrog Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Every once in a while I get struck with a gotta do something different syndrome . Another nuttie Idea . This time of year is sand eel season . Figured I'd do this and get some thoughts on it . This is 6'' long , 5/8ths head Inline blade that spins up down and on the retrieve , imbedded ball bearing swivel . The body is round tapering back to a flat tail . The hook is set farther back to get short strikes . Well that's about it . Whud da ya Thank. Pic Sucks i know !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 You and I must be related; I very rarely think inside the box as well. I like that bait. Should catch very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhahn427 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Dang Dude ..... get some self esteem ........... It's a good looking lure that should catch great for shallow stripers ......... been thinking about building something similar ......... good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadfrog Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Used a CCM carrot mold for the body . Used tinfoil for a laminate plate between halves . If I use the plate I only get one half shot at a time . It's already got some stripers . Unfortunately not by me . Got plenty of relatives just waiting for me to toss something out the shop door . Nova ya never know about being related . My heritage is kinda iffy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
