RATS
 

:jump: test tomarrow

rat surfster
 

:faga:

Musky stuff. Should put ears on it though.

definately ears or a spin prop on the rear
to leave that dog paddling wake
behind the lure...

great shape though, looks very much like a rat

ears great idea
 

switching to a pikie 1, surfster1 was ok but really wide side to side:bo: small surfster may be better:jump:

Man, you really have that shape down pat. :btu:

I've seen plenty of rats at the Canal--maybe your on to something.

NICE
big bass stuff

3+ pounders will take plugs that big and bigger. the smaller fish will try.

great job ed :kewl:

RATS, had to give it a shot, hand carved ,rattle can painted. heres one I did the outher day, did not have any rubber worms for the tail so I used a small rubber tube for plugs. Im doing another one, ill have it done soon.
GOOD LUCK GOOD PLUGGIN:btu:

stripercrazy did you make your lure in sections? I think I can make out lines running through it but I'm not too sure - my eyes aren't that great anymore :)

body
 

turned body, marked body with pencil two lines 1/4 inch apart...with the square ends on I mark the highest point or middle on top,left side, right side .and I draw a line making a V.all screweyes...cut with bandsaw

lips
 

3 inch mice I'm useing njlefty1high slot...seem to be the best and the rats a dannie2 lip useing the high slot seems to work good rat=5 inch....the above picture theres lefty lips in the bodys.(rats).they worked at the end of the cast but messed up at times went to dannie2...I haven't tried the lefty2high, but I bet it will work..the 1.5 surfster lip works good...I'm trying to get a tighter action with the dannie they have a S shaped swim
