fatfingers Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 This is made from cherry and has a stainless steel lip, #2/0 Eagle Claw hooks, and is unweighted. At four inches long (measuring the body only, not the lip), it runs exactly like a Hot-N-Tot but it has a wider body and is taller in the middle from a side view. Casts very well and trolls well at speed. I have high hopes for this thing at three of the four lakes where I chase muskies. I'm finding that I really like using stainless steel for the lip on certain baits. It thinner than Lexan, and thus has a lot more vibration and of course the stainless flashes well in the sunlight.

rjbass Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Fatfingers, Really nice bait....love the look. Where are you getting the stainless if I might ask? Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatfingers Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thanks, rj. I get .22 gauge stainless from a local joint that buys closeouts and industrial type scrap. I would think that any welding shop could hook you up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husky Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 For those not familiar with working with SS, If you don't have a punch, drill your holes prior to cutting the lip from the sheet. Spinning SS is an invitation to the ER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Sweet lure FF bet pikes would love it .anyone ever used stainless from used kitchensinks? Anything heavier than .022 is a bear to fabricate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
