Calling fishing a hobby is like calling brain surgery a job. ~Paul Schullery

There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965

Wow fellas you guys have been busy!
Man I am way behind the ball....a lot of great stuff being built and posted on this forum!!
Well I finally found a little time to get a few things finished, and at the same time get rolling on some new stuff ( little girl is teething and that doesn't leave a lot of time for building or sleep) Here are some of the crank baits I've been working on and finally finished. First attempt at foiling..didn't turn out as well as planned, but with me everything has it learning curve. Hard to capture in these pics (cell phone) but some of the color shifts in the sun are very cool. I will be making some more in the future.



I also cut a bunch of flaptail and swimmer blanks along with my large Musky spooks (a pic of a finished one for reference). The flaptalis and swimmer blanks are 6 inches and between 2.5 (flaptails) and 3 oz (swimmers). The Musky spooks are 8.5 inches and about 4.5 oz, I really love the action of these guys and really hope to slay some waterwolfs with them this season.






I hope building is going well and also that spring is right around the corner

Best

MS
