LOBSTER, EEL, SQUID

here's some new stuff, the lobster is 8" and close to 4 ounces to accomdate the large profile, the squid is heavily weighted for bouncing along the depths and the eel is fitted for skins...two fish on the lobster first night out so they appear to lke it, it's a bottom hugger...

is that a spinner on the head of the lobster?

scottw 06-25-2009 09:10 PM

no just a flapper, it needed just a bit more weight up front and rather than drill and add some shot I dug out a small freshwater spoon, worked perfectly, figured the lobster tail must make some little clacking when it's scurrying, seems to work??? a spinner might not be a bad idea though:kewl:

Very nice stuff. You should try a longer, jointed one of those eels. Very lifelike paint job you got there.

I made a big jionted one for the plug swap for DAD ...I'd really like to make some more, I'm trying to make the back section with a face like a bottle swimmer and a relatively short front section and hope that gives it a wiggle as well....I tried it on the first one but probably didn't creat a big enough plug mouth and it was winter so testing was tough

capitol job indeed

Very unique! Great detail, hate to see a bluefish bite into any of those. How much time did you spend making each one?
