Fishwhittler Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Finished some more cranks The only problem with holo eyes is that they are nearly impossible to photograph Thanks for looking Ben Quote
Northern Strain Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 looks good but I think it would look better with different eyes, just me tho. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 20, 2009 Super User Posted October 20, 2009 Excelliant job , the eyes set them off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Stringjam Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Great job, Ben.....I like your interesting choice of backgrounds - the nails are awesome! Nice photos. 8-) What kind of action does that first bait have? I think that's about the shortest lip I've ever seen in a crank! Quote
Fishwhittler Posted October 21, 2009 Author Posted October 21, 2009 Thanks guys. Great job, Ben.....I like your interesting choice of backgrounds - the nails are awesome! Nice photos. 8-)What kind of action does that first bait have? I think that's about the shortest lip I've ever seen in a crank! Thanks! From the edge of the paint the bill is 1/4" long. I read on TU that if you put a lip that is to long on a wake bait it will roll to far and lay on its side or even spin, and with this bait being only 3/4" wide by 1 1/2" tall, I figured roll-out could be an issue so I made the bill as short as possible without eliminating the bill entirely. Edit: I have not been able to test it thoroughly yet, but it seems to have a very slow, shallow roll. Ben Quote
Super User islandbass Posted October 21, 2009 Super User Posted October 21, 2009 Those eyes look killer!!!! You definitely have the skills to pay the bills. 8-) I hope you don't mind if I try that eye shape perhaps on my next crankbait project. One thing I would add is a shark mouth. Combined with those eyes, it would make for a mean looking crankbait. Quote

I'm glad someone likes them enough to use them on their lures. As a sidenote, try tackleunderground.com. Thats where that I got the idea for the angry eyes from, and the lures that some of the bait makers over there turn out are just amazing. Interesting idea about the shark mouth. I will definitely give it a shot on one of my next lures. Ben Quote
