Legendary Lures Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 I used one of my Jigger bodies to make a crankbait. The body is clear white pine and about 3 inches long. Eyes are plastic and the fins are aluminum. The handmade beak is Lexan. The paint is spray enamel with handpainted details in acrylic. Hooks are size 4. A coarse comb was used as the stencil for the stripes. The clear coat is epoxy with micro glitter. It was fun to make because I kept picturing a giant Northern Pike giving it a chomp that will leave marks. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benton B Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 That lure brings to mind a post where someone said making lures was not an art. That picture speaks for it's self and it screams beautiful. Very nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I guess it's OK if you like perfection. It's guys like you, Artbrush and Vy that keep my inferiority complex intact! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
