BIG M Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Here are a few new fat boy cranks and little flatside that just wanted to get in the pic. Let me know what ya'll think about the Purple Haze Tiger in the middle. Quote
KyCam Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Those baits look awesome. Especially that purple haze tiger. Nice job dude, hope it catches a big one. Quote
bmadd Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Nice baits as always Marty. Really liking that bone with orange back all of them look great though! Quote
djmax22 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 That purple reminds me of toned down Norman's Apocalypse. Nice Work. Quote
buzzcatcher Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 The bone/orange back is my fav of this group, but they all ROCK! David Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 They all look fantastic. Love the purple haze tiger! And, that bottom one too - partial to baby bass patterns. Quote
Captain Obvious Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Great looking as always I like the bottom one the best Do you use templates when you make those baits or do you just start carving and let you imagination take over??? And if you do use templates, does that make you more consistent in making good baits?? Derek Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted March 17, 2009 Super User Posted March 17, 2009 Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Marty. I can't even pick a favorite, because they all rock. Falcon Quote
BIG M Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks fellas for the kind words. Purple Haze Tiger was not my idea just painting what I was told. I do like how the colors came together. Derek, the only template I use is to draw the pattern on a board and mark the lip slot and belly weight location. I make marks around the baits so I know how much wood to remove. I've been making most of these baits for several years so I know what it's suppose to look like. All the carving is done with a knife and the baits are hand sanded with 120 and 320 grit sandpaper.
