Bunker banana
Here's a new one for me. I took the dimensions from a lure a friend loaned to me. Its weighted front and back to barely float level with the surface. I think this is the way "frech bananas" floated.
Made from cedar, length is 6 1/2 inches and weights 2.75oz. It's done with screw eyes epoxied in place. Because the body is so thin I decided to insert the weights (barrel weights) by drilling the holes through the body, from side to side, and fill the holes with bondo.
Started with white primer. Pearl white on the belly, pearl silver on the side and ivy green on top. Some black spots and silver glitter.
