    Real nice baits there Big M. 8-)
  2. Fishwhittler
    Awesome baits! I like 1, 6, 8 and 19. 8-)
  3. Fishwhittler
    Looks good. It looks very close to the real fish. 8-)

    I've used polycrylic for topcoat and it will not hold up for long; it will absorb water and turn cloudy and soft.

    I don't know how you can still see after building those micro cranks. ;D I like the second 2" shallow runner.

    Well I just float-tested it in a bucket of water and it is, unfortunately, negatively buoyant. Which means I'll have to find some way of making it float. :

    Here's an ultra-deep crank proto I'm working on. I'm aiming for it to go to 25-30 feet when it's done. It's 7 1/2" long and weighs 1 1/2 oz. I'm thinking it will be a real beast to cast and retrieve. Now I just have to find water that's deep enough...

    "WOW" says it all. That bait is awesome! 8-)
  9. Fishwhittler
    Those look great! Good job on the foiling. 8-)

    That top one is one of the nicest little baits I have ever seen.
  11. Fishwhittler
    I like them all. 8-)
  12. Fishwhittler
    Good job!
  13. Fishwhittler
    Both actions look very good, although I prefer the wider wobble. I can't wait to see your lures painted.
  14. Fishwhittler
    All of them look great but my favorite is the second one. 8-)

    Minwax Polyacrylic works well for keeping paint from reacting with topcoat. It's also much more user-friendly than lacquer, as it is far less toxic and you can clean it up with water.

    You did a great job making and painting this lure. I like the way you put large scales on the front segment and small scales on the tail. 8-)
  17. Fishwhittler
    Thanks! The bait has a moderately slow, medium wide wobble. It will probably go 5-10 feet deep.

    I just hang my baits up and let them dry. You will end up with a blob of epoxy on the tail but it can easily be removed with a dremel. You will also have quite a bit of wasted epoxy with this method as it will run down the bait and drip off the tail, but I've never had any sags or runs in the finish.

    X2, those two on the right are very nice. 8-) I started using Flex Coat Ultra V this year and it has worked well for me. One to two coats should be sufficient for most lures (although I frequently mess one of them up and end up using three or four coats).

    I made this one for my neighbor who lets me fish his ponds. Let me know what you think. Ben

    The neon tiger one is awesome. 8-)
  22. Fishwhittler
    X2. Nice job X3, that second one is very cool.
  23. Fishwhittler
    Great work! My favorites are the two on the right.
  24. Fishwhittler
    Very nice! I really like that transparent bait. 8-)
  25. Fishwhittler
    Great looking baits! I like the three in the bottom pic and the bottom two in the top pic. 8-)
