spare tire Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 This is the crankbait I had on unfinished about a week ago, with vodkamans rattlecans installed. I cut down on the spikes on the fins per a lot of your guy's recommendations. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w311/sparetire2/bass.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 That it so cool. I can't paint like that yet. I have a 12" perch crank/troller on the rack right now. I have shot some pix but still am computer illiterate. Wouldn't know where to start on how to post a pic. Onward and upward... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spare tire Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks everone, this is a great hobby! Or sickness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlander Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 It is a sickness, at least during the hard water season. You had mentioned you were carving. What wood is this, and how long is the lure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spare tire Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 It's about 4" long out of basswood, I also use red cedar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Rizo Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 the lure looks great .....BUT,..... the placement of the gill makes the lure look a little cartoonish it is a shame to have such detailed body and a cartoon head try lowwering the gill and detail the head. When you perfect that i will send you the hood of my car to finish! large mouth bass would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spare tire Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 thanks for the honesty Frank. That is a problem I'm having in imagining that part. I'm working on it looking at a lot of other pics, I'm going to try a template for the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Rizo Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Don't think I was making fun of your lure! By far it is one of the best paint job this site has seen, you ask, I told what I thought. I also think from what I have seen of your work you will figure it out. But does someone really want to fish with a piece of ART like that!

Vodkaman Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Nice bait. I'll have to send you some of mine to do. Gotta get me a spray gun. Frank, I think it is time for you to post a pic, warrayasay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
