top time

11" long , all cedar.

tremor

Happen to have this pic "laying" around. One of my favorite baits to throw.

Flaptail-o-rama

Been a little busy lately. let's see if I can get up to date with some new stuff. First up-Flaptails. These are about 8" long .they have a great "Mechanical" pinging noise to them. They are going to get chewed big time this year :)

Rubber room

I have been playing around with rubber baits for a number of years. Here is the 2012 version of the "Komodo". Last year this was the "go to" bait for me. Strange weather patterns and stranger location patterns - it was Rubber time all year long!

These are slightly larger than a pounder in size and have a much different action. This is due to the width of the bait being located in the middle of the bait (like a real fish) not the at the head.

Orange you glad you looked

I was kind of in an orange mood or something. Here are a few "different" styles.
First up is a 14" twitch bait. They troll nice as well, but I weighted them off of the axis so that they twitch amazing. A lot of big fish caught on the protypes, including a 51" in the Frank Schnieder tourney.

Next up is a "TailDragger". I am working on a new tail,but until then they catch lots of fish with the tails they come with.

Last up is a 12" "Rumor". It is really hard to get a good pic of this bait for some reason. Oh well, you get the idea.  The "Rumor" runs deep if desired. I use it to fish deep coontail about 12 feet down. The front has a morticed lexan lip for rocks and for a slight wiggle. It is one of the few dive and rise baits that figure 8 great! It also has a killer "death rise" when you give it straight up pull at boat side.

back to the basement for me...

A Few "Hustlers"

A few more "Hustler" pic.  Not much to say about these. The colors are Cisco, Golden Red Horse and Citrus shad.  I hope you like.

Been busy lately cutting,sanding, weighting, sanding , sanding , sanding and finally painting. I will have quite a  slew of pics up soon. I'll start out with some Cisco flavored goodies. I wish I was better at the picture taking part. The pics never look as good as they do in person. I guess that is not that bad. There are lot of guys out there that take great pics. Then just let you down when you see the baits in person.  That won't be the problem here. My baits definitely look better in person.;)

Couple of 9" "Hustler" drop belly styles. One is foil based and the other is straight up paint. Then I have a "TailDragger". I was too lazy to find my box of white rubber tails for the pic session,so glow it is. You get the idea though. These are all cedar, including the "TailDragger".

O.K. I am off to go sanding...
