Big Ten Inch

I haven't made any "small" cranks in a long time. So it was time. This one is 10" long, all Cedar with a "Supernatural" style clevis pin lip.The beauty of the clevis pin design is that the bait always wanders, but always comes back to center without "blowing out".  This is due to not having a fixed tow point. This design has been proven on the "Supernatural" line of baits and the ones that I have made using this set up. I can't wait to drag this one around!

Let's get Vertical

I have had lots of luck the last few years vertical jigging the deep weed lines on my home lake. I made a few rubber baits that were unique (those pics soon). For some reason I never thought about a wood version. Until now. This one is cedar and is 12" in length. It has an amazing action on the pull and the drop. Much more wiggle than any of the plastic. It looks like a giant rattlebait on a straight retrieve. I can't wait to get it out the river this fall too!!

custom 14" Rumor



All Cedar. Foil Sucker pattern. This one has already scored a few fish this summer and no longer looks so pretty. Just the way it should be :)

Smolt

I just updated the "Smolt" for 2013. Slightly larger than the previous version . Rubber version pics soon .

my Dad

Well I have to post a pic of my Dad. It is his fault that I make lures,kind of. He instilled in me the pursuit of excellence and the value of paying attention to the details. At least that is what I think he was talking about during the hour long lectures he used to give my brother and me when I was in trouble ;)  Thanks Dad!

perch twosome

I made these for a friend from overseas this summer and just got around to posting some pics.

Guppies





I realized that I haven't posted any pics of Guppies yet! Probably the most popular style I make. so I was cleaning out my camera from this summer and found these pics :)  Here you go....
