Baby Peacock Bass

Thu, 01 Oct 2015 03:51:51 +0000

Made a clay original to be similar to the tiny torpedo. Sanded till smooth coated in a clear coat casted it in a silicone mold. Then used the mold to make a Feather lite Resin blank. Airbrushed the black to ressemble a young peacock bass. Lure dipped the eagle claw trebles red. And clear coated in DEVCON epoxy. All parts minus the resin and silicone were bought through LPO.

this crank bait I built just to see If I could lol, not even sure if it would float. the dark back is made with black walnut, the light belly is made with maple and the perch like stripes are inlayed cherry wood. it took me 8 hours straight for all the carving and wood construction . it is through wire also which took some time with the hardwood. my risk was with great reward as it floats and has the greatest hunting action I have ever seen (more life like than a rapala scatter rap)

Battery Powered Vibrating Cicada

Wed, 30 Sep 2015 20:12:36 +0000

My Lure was made by hand carving a master lure body and head. The head acts as a watertight cap to the battery / motor compartment. The lure is 45 mm in length, made with a through wire to connect the fishing on one end and a treble hook on the other. It is capable to hold up to a #4 treble hook. It uses one AG3/LR41 size, replaceable battery. The Battery life, while seemingly short, at 15 minutes, is not a problem because the lure has been designed for rapid battery replacement. It takes less than 8 seconds to change the battery. Additionally, battery cost is very low (less than $0.05 each on eBay).

The best thing about the lure's vibrating sound is much like that of a bug and it really does work to attract fish. If I could show more pictures, I would show some of the really nice size bass I have caught with it, and other vibrating lures I have made.
