Muddy Tires Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Thanks Rick...I tried to pattern the lure's shape after the Lake Whitefish. I am working on another version that will have a scale pattern and a more realistic colour scheme. I will post a pic when I get it finished.

Big Splash Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Looks good Greg, The blk/wht pattern works well for our lake trout (red/ wht is just about my #1 choice). Are those fins made of metal? Where do you fish for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeter Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Very nice looking lure. I really like where the rear hook hanger is located. What is it made of? Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Tires Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 The fins are made from one eigth inch aluminum plate that I recycled from an old road sign. The body is made from a cedar fence plank and is held onto the aluminum by two stainless steel screws. I made the eyes from a couple of screws I took out of a broken VCR. The diving lip is from a piece of Lexan used to protect around a door lock. It took a few tries at bending the Lexan to get the right action but I finally got it to work just like I wanted.
