Neat. What does your Stix weigh and did you have an original to copy?

I found a bunch of pictures online of them, and tried to get it as close as possible by scaling down pictures and taking measurements. I forgot to weigh it last night, I'd think its around 2.5oz maybe? possibly closer to 3.

Both those look like winners to me, Eddy. One month and we can find out.

Nice Tommy. Years back I did a few Masterlure sticks. Looked great but casted like potato chips. Swims on top. I guess u can weight em to sub surface. Like any lure theres a place to.throw it.

Yes not a great casting plug but that’s okay, it has its scenarios it performs well in.

I was thinking I could do some in maple for subsurface? I stripped and old one and it had many knots in the wood. Almost looked like a kind of cypress.
