Big Bass Man Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I carved out two new crankbait patterns out of Basswood. Both took me about five hours each to carve, to get the look I was after. Joker Shad Clown Blingin' Viper Blingin' Viper Cosmic Shad Skully Anaconda Shad Zombie Shad Any color name ideas are welcomed!! Quote

whittler1 Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Exceptinal work there, hard to pick a favorite. Wood chips and sawdust have to be two of the most addictive things I know of. Quote
Big Bass Man Posted October 3, 2011 Author Posted October 3, 2011 Thanks guys!! Skeeterman, I will definately keep those names in mind, They match the baits well!! Exceptinal work there, hard to pick a favorite. Wood chips and sawdust have to be two of the most addictive things I know of. I thought the painting was addictive, but I believe the carving has it beat. I wish my Dad was still around to see these. He used to sit out on the front porch and whittle all afternoon. He didnt make baits, but would carve out all types of things. I am definately having fun carving them!! Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted October 3, 2011 Super User Posted October 3, 2011 Good stuff right there BBM. I'll have to think about some names and throw my suggestions in the hat for ya. Keep it up Bud! Quote

BIG M Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 The carving is outstanding and the finished baits look great. Just 1 question, are you trying to scare the fish to jump in the boat or what? Those baits look mean:) Quote

The paint patterns, I just went with something out of the ordinary. Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted October 7, 2011 Super User Posted October 7, 2011 I love them. It's great to see some origional designs. When I saw the two pics of the third one the first thing that came to my mind was it looks like a Viper's Head. I love it. Quote
